OPENING THOUGHTS

I, like Gwen Jones, consider myself to merely have a philosophical turn of mind. I do hope, however, that my personal lack of "training" will not prevent me from reading and contributing to Commensal.

I found Commensal a thoroughly interesting read. I was particularly interested in John Stubbings' final contribution: what an angry man he appears to be ! I do hope that other members have a bit more respect for other people's contributions. I do hope that no one chastises me for writing "twaddle" or "incoherent babble".

Also, thank you for printing Gödel's Mathematical Proof of God's Existence. This did, initially, fascinate me. However, after a few moments thought, I got the distinct feeling that I'd seen various forms of this argument before. Maybe it is hoped that this argument is a stronger version of Anselm's, but it really does nothing for me.
