Do those who are pragmatically inclined not insist on reasons for obedience that are grounded in reality? If they don’t, then they aren’t very pragmatic. And if metaphysicalists have intrinsically significant reasons for doing something, then it is practical of them to do it. Your real argument seems to be against those who would say that extrinsically significant or symbolic actions could be worthy of divine prescription.<br /><br />I also wonder if there isn’t a category missing in this discussion—those who make no claim concerning the nature of the significance of such liturgical actions. Could one not partake in God’s grace with only an elementary understanding of it?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233517957041524368noreply@blogger.com
