Hi folks,
Joseph, some days I would agree with your minimalist view; other days I feel the need for something 'more'. I suppose I'm conditioned to cling to false certainties, but from Evangelicalism to Progressivism feels like swinging from broken dogmas to empty platitudes; and like a magnetic pendulum I'm repelled continually back and forth.
I would love to abandon metaphysics altogether, simply living as Jesus lived, for the pleasure of God, but even that would necessitate countless metaphysical assumptions anyway: the nature of God; the historicity of the Gospels; etc...
