In Rhetoric Book 1 he assumes that opposing parties will claim that it is true and false as it suits them. In Rhetoric to Alexander 16 he expatiates with John Yoo like nicety. As the poet said 'it was all so unimaginably different and all so long ago' or is it?

I'm concerned that this may just be a spam message. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt so I'm approving this comment for now, but if I'm going to approve future comments from you I need to see a more direct relevance to the site's discussions.

One of the results is your post 'An evil God?' I too developed with the typical Christian hell after watching the film 'Into the Wild'. After discussing it with some people I was pointed to www.hopebeyondhell.com. The guy there basically addresses the problems with hell and I feel comes to a compelling alternative where the purpose of hell is not to simply punish but as a means of reconciling everyone else to God. He shows how the contemporary version of hell is actually a perversion and is quite possibly the biggest deterrent to Christianity. Anyways, check it out. He explains it more thoroughly and better than I. Cheers! Roman Hey, I came across your site by googling ‘augustinian hell’.
