CREA
    Want to bet that Carter trots out Plantinga's foundational epistemology
yet again?  I'm still waiting for him to show how it is possible, according
to Plantinga, to assert that monotheism can be "rationally justified" as a
properly basic belief (and thus requiring no evidence in its support), while
denying asimilar, privileged, status to such "belief systems" as atheism,
agnosticism, pantheism, polytheism, dualism and even "satanism".  He's been
asked this on two prior occasions, and has yet to respond with anything
beyond simplistic nay-saying.
