Ravi, We Have a Problem

This is my reaction to a comment on a NY Times blog about the Pope. See it's context here.

Ravi,

Jesus called himself the cornerstone, which means the foundation, the starting point. The Church does not claim to have all the answers, it claims to have the starting point. There are many stones that are compatible with the cornerstone, and some of them may be found in Hinduism and Buddhism. But some stones in those faiths simply do not fit.

The secular person admits to no starting point, has no foundation, and therefore is at great disadvantage. If you have nothing to build from, if your house is just a pile of stones, how will your house of faith stand?
