I was beginning to wonder what OSU was?

So by 'gone further' KS is refering to throwing out one of 1-5 (usually god exists) because of the inconsistency of 1-5, when in fact all they are logically justified in doing is recognising that 1-5 are inconsistent.

In this (my) example, "going further" would mean (mis)using logic to claim that any or all of the five propositions are false. As to what SK would say . . . that's what we're discussing [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].

Is KS going further and claiming that faith in logic is required to know that 1-5 must be modified and so we can accept 1-5 and add 6. Logic consistency doesn't apply?

From what I remember of the selections I read in a class, this question is best left for later in the book.
