It seems that that is as far as your thinking got. . . There are any number of other contemporary figures who can be properly described as amongst the finest intellects to have ever walked this Earth. I am not convinced that President Bill Sinkford even comes close to meeting the criteria for being one of the finest intellects to have ever walked this Earth. So why did it even occur to you to present him in that context?Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-57293032482750166502007-07-20T07:55:00.000-04:002007-07-20T07:55:00.000-04:00Robin- I didn't intend to equate Rev Sinkford and ...Robin- I didn't intend to equate Rev Sinkford and Thomas Aquinas intellectually, and I imagine Rev Sinkford would agree- I was thinking of past and present.<BR/><BR/>Jaume- oddly enough I have never known, nor even heard of anyone who describes contact with the Trinity- it has always been a single entity.Joel Monkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631333436948102576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-74441777299150621522007-07-20T06:52:00.000-04:002007-07-20T06:52:00.000-04:00As our Unitarian humanist forebears said, One God ...As our Unitarian humanist forebears said, One God is already a bit too much.
