Re: How many denominations of mythicism is there?
Aristotle was conflicted in his thinking. He lacked consistency in his reasoning thereby. But then until well past the emergence of the reformation, and even to this very day, he was not alone in this. The prominent/essential view from among the USA's "founding fathers" was that of deism, ...
