LIGHTING A LAMP

Leibniz_2A fellow under the monicker of "Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz" is shining a light in one of the dingy corners of the Internet.  At Joe Rowland's intellectually anemic "Rebirth of Reason" Objectivist website, Mr. Leibniz has, with great patience, been discussing Catholic theology with the village atheists there.  His expositions of the Faith are models of clarity.  Anyone with only a bit a familiarity with philosophy can follow what he has to say.  Let us hope that Mr. Leibniz has opened the minds of some of the denizens of Rowland's site to ideas that they had carelessly excluded from consideration in the past.
