Zounds: Goodies Abound!

Dear Colleagues (faith & higher ed series cont)   

           My House Divided:

Let "faith"" stand for feeling, affect, unconscious,
counter-intuition, analogical process & clouds
of unkowing.  . .

Let "belief"" stand for intellect, conscious knowing,
tuition & intuition, digital process and lucid schemes. 

Do the 2 Just Get Along? Hell no they don't.
Do I got a problem with that?  Hell yes I do.
I'm a house divided. Can't stand it.


       Goodies Abound Galore
 
   “Peer Pressure is Forever”
                    (Pattie Smith)
 
The need to look good makes good sense
in that looking bad don’t win friends and
influence people. And so the bad-it-takes
to be getting good can’t be turned up and
put in play.
 
This is simplistic and reductive—what I just
said. Yes buts should shower down on me
like golf-ball sized hail.
 
Qualifications. Objections
   Oh my: Generalization.
   Oh my: Overstatements.  .

See how much bad it takes?   
    Oh the Inadequacy.
    Oh the Insufficiency.
 
Can’t be helped. I will do injustice: violate the
whole: ripoff a piece to make a point & leave
the rest behind:

I’m a  bad man, a very bad  man. Damaged &
Damaging if I do or don’t.
 
You too? Yes?
We can argue then.

xxxooo, Presbyter
