    Have you ever searched for God? Not trying to be contentious, but I'm genuinely curious.

  • There is no god. This is just a well-read charlatan, preaching about things nobody can possiblly know. I am delighted that I don't have to listen to or pay for this nonsense.

  • Stanley was one of my professors at Notre Dame 34 years ago. i still remember his often retort to a studen'ts assertion, "That's a pile of crap!" Another favorite, "Bullllllllll Shiiiiiiiiiiiittttttt!

  • Excellent interview. It would also be interesting to hear Stan's views on the profound Christian anthropology of Rene Girard & how the individual (as well as society) can only be "saved" from from the destructive effects of negative mimetic desire by embracing the rubrics of non-violence & renouncing all scapegoating mechanisms. How he would differ from Girard would also be helpful. When would self-defense (oneself/others) be appropriate to one who's committed to leading a life of non-violence?

  • I highly regard Stanley Hauerwas, but he didn't thoroughly answer Rich's question: re demonization of Islam, speak of peaceful word to the Church, w/o falling into universalism. Mr. Hauerwas answered we need to produce more David Burrells, to become knowledgeable about Islam. I couldn't agree more, but how do we articulate "peaceful words" to Muslims, in spite of our differences?

  • It is hard to define God in a world with many and diverse meanings to the word GOD/god. Father Son and Holy Spirit is specific for sure.

  • I thought it interesting how he has a working knowledge of one mental illness, bi-polar disorder, yet in my opinion he drops the ball when he doesn't address one pervasive illness within his denomination, the UMC. I wonder why his different reaction to his wife's bi-polar mental and emotional distress, which affected a limited number of people, and his reaction to the bishops of his denomination, many of whom suffer from narcissistic personality disorder--a very serious emotional illness.
