And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?" They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being, the ontological foundation of the context of our very selfhood revealed." And Jesus replied, "What?"
I just love that quote: ironically enough it's from Quodlibet - the Online Journal of Christian Philosophy & Theology. Michael Mock, a friend of mine from the seminary who has been in most of my classes thus far, just had a paper of his published on their site: "The Futility of Philosophic Inquiry" - but be forewarned, the title is merely to grab your attention, because he doesn't think philosphic inquiry is futile. Actually, the entire article has nothing to do with philosophic inquiry, but rather the perniciousness of pop-up books.

I haven’t read all of your friends paper, but I don’t know about his use of logic. It looks like he’s trying to use predicate logic to prove that there is truth. However, there is nothing in predicate logic that allows you to infer anything about “truth”. It seems to me all he accomplished is to say that, implicitly assuming the existence of propositions, there are propositions. Also, he puts too much stuff in parentheses.
