Description
When Mr. Buckley meets his old philosophy teacher on Firing Line, it's thrust and parry from the start: WFB: "Tonight, Professor Weiss seeks to inform God that it was a mistake to organize religion. Organized religion, he will argue, has failed." PW: "I don't remember when God organized religion. Is there any time when God organized religion?" WFB: "Well, the situation was like this: There was God and there was Peter, you see-" PW: "I thought they were distinct." WFB: "They were." PW: "Oh, good! Now-then what?"
