start around 3:20 if you've never seen this vid before. It's father Barron on the "youtube heresies" and he talks a little bit about marcion's heresy and irenaeus's response to him and offers another theory on why the God of the old Testament seems so meanie face

That was a great video. I haven't watched anything in particular by Fr. Barron, but he seems very intelligent.

I subscribed to Fr. Barron's channel on youtube a long time ago. I wish there were more people doing what he does. He's razzle dazzle.

I was very fortunate a couple of years back to actually visit Hiroshima and the A-bomb dome. Off to one side there is a memorial to all those who died in the blast. On a statue people have come and draped chains of brightly colored paper cranes, some as big as as my hand, others as small as a fingernail. They are a stark contrast against the A-bomb dome. It is a very sad place yet there is the hope that as long as it exists people will remember and never let something like it happen again.
Reading stories like reminds me of the mix of sadness and hope that surrounds this tragedy.

I think your religion compels you to believe that the slaughtering of civilians is sometimes not just permissible but normative. If God orders it, then it is quite Holy to murder a child, or in the case of the tribes listed in the passage I quoted, multitudes of children. Is this wrong?[/quote]

1. Such a locution or apparition would immediately fail "extraordinary phenomenon discernment 101." 2. As a Catholic I would argue vehemently against Divine command theory. 3. My personal philosophical view is that such scenarios involve insurmountable epistemological difficulties. 4. Other stuff.

Has he written any books, or is it all video stuff that he's into?

I don't really know that much about him. I like his youtube videos and I know he has a big TV series about Catholicism that I hope to watch in the future.
