In your readings, have you come across Matt Flannagan, a Kiwi Christian philosopher? He writes a lot of good stuff on the topic of church and state, check out this one that got published in a mainstream magazine; http://www.mandm.org.nz/2011/09/contra-mundum-separating-church-and-state.html
He definitely has some strong arguments in there and I hope he challenges some of your stuff! Check out the rest of his site as he has heaps of posts on subjects that would interest you.
You should include more 'or get eaten by a bear' threats on your blog posts. It really makes them pop out on the google reader.

Gah, your gig's on a Thursday night, and I work night shifts. :(
ReplyDeleteWould have liked to meet you in person, Russell. More pertinently, I so don't want to be eaten by a bear.
Damn. Never mind - if you do survive the bear, there'll be other opportunities in Melb. (though they may also turn out to be on Tuesday nights).
ReplyDeleteThe thing that kills me is this - I'm on break now til 16 Jan.
ReplyDeleteAnd my religious friends wonder why I don't believe in a benevolent God.
Whoops, I meant to say Thursday nights ... of course. Silly me.
