Back to the intention of this thread.
The relationship between belief and inquiry is crucial.
I believe we've established that all human thought proceeds from basic assumptions about the nature of things.
I'd say the prerequisite for "philosophical" inquiry regarding any subject, including those that may be theological, would be to be clear about one's a priori positions and to be up front in referencing them as relevant to ongoing discussions.
There are several viable subthreads here.
What are your thoughts on the distinctions between religion and theology vis-a-vis philosophy?
Does your religious belief system preclude open-minded inquiry? Personally, I don't see any reason that it should.
How do you reconcile your faith with scientific thought and other epistemological issues?
