Accountability Groups

I came across a very interesting post on another blog by Eric Costa on
the Reformation Theology blog (

). It was concerning accountability groups and their focus and
purpose. Rev. Costa, I think was right when he made note that:

Hey LO,
That article looks helpful indeed. I need to apologize man....my world
the last week has been absolutely insane--on every level. When are you
over in Tampa? Perhaps we can get together.

Hey Evan,
Hope you are doing well and keepin' your head above water. Things are
crazy on my side of the state . . . papers, reading, and Hebrew
paradigms galore.... But ahh, the weather is so nice!
In my course readings this week I came across an article from John
Frame that (I think) helped me understand your Van Til/Kant point more

Hey Laurence,
I am not ignoring your reply...I have many thoughts but little time. I
will hopefully put something of substance up in the next two days.
Thanks for the patience,
Evan

There are a variety of ways to answer the "why" question. The short answer
for Christians is that without God as one's epistemic foundation, one is led
to irrationality as he tries to understand himself, the universe, and God
due to a lack of an ultimate norm. The short answer argument behind this
conclusion is the Creator/creature distinction: The implications of God's

No, not truncated at all. Thanks for keeping her at a sane length. (Feeling
sorry for my big-daddy post again...)
I'll try to respond quicker (and shorter) henceforth. (I'm curious as to how
"firefingers" over there responds so quickly and powerfully! You da man.)
Have a great weekend too,
LO
PS: I'm around the tampa area most Saturdays. Would you be up for grabbing

Laurence,
I hope you did not find my response too truncated. I want you to know
that I read through your entire post and I have several thoughts--many
of which are at deep odds with your arguments. However, I think it best
that we deal with one issue at a time. This approach would save time
and wouldn't pigeonhole us into encylopedic entries that no one has the

I think we are operating under different understandings of epistemic
circularity. I accept Alston's argument (in "Beyond Justification) that
all epistemic models are ultimately circular. For example, arguing for
the reliability of sense perception means I must assume that my sense
perception is reliable. Our description of this circularity is

Hey Evan,
Sorry for my horrible delay. Reading week is upon me. Ahh, so much to do, so
little time... I appreciate your thoughts and would like to delve into the
discussion with you. I ask forgiveness beforehand for the absurd length of
this e-mail. (Yikes!)
Now onto the puzzle.
If I understand the heart of the puzzle, it is the issue of circularity that

What is Not Sorry? And what is the Not Sorry Google Group?

I decided to reply to Evan's question ("What's the story with
"notsorry"? Is it going to be a virtual form for discussion or will
there be content posted like articles and such?") in a new thread . . .
. And by doing so, I am hoping to set an example to encourage Not Sorry
users to keep discussions limited to one main topic. New topics should

Interesting idea buddy.

I'm starting this thread to facilitate continued discussion of Evan's
thoughts ([link])
on the Darwin or Design? event in Tampa, FL at the University of South
Florida.
Please start by reading the post and comments at the link above.
Further responses are in light of these previous discussions. I have
