Configuration? What would even be a configuration of air? As in, the air has a configuration of being around 20% oxygen, so that's a part of the form of the air? Why wouldn't that be a part of the matter of air?
Idea? What would be the idea of air? Like, something we can breathe? Well, that would be more of a teleological cause than an idea.
Belacqua Wrote:Your statements about Aquinas are equally misinformed.Well, to be honest, I find Mary Baker Eddy slightly more interesting to read. At least you can see, through her writing, how people possibly came up with the crazy ideas about witchcraft. She makes it look like it all follows from an axiom that there can be no cognition in the matter. And, back when there were no computers, it probably seemed like an axiom.

EgoDeath Wrote:It's almost as if Bel himself finds certain forms of Christianity to be intellectually superior to others, and certain forms to be utterly ridiculous, both intellectually and philosophically.Well, Christian Science is probably intellectually inferior to most forms of Christianity, because its believers not only accept Christianity, but they also accept some incoherent form of idealism. Don't you agree?
