Augustine rapes and shits on that nigger Aquinas before raping his mom.

Why do “Christians” on this site talk like this?

>>17935070
Because they’re all massive larpers. None of them actually care about Christ they just use their religious beliefs to justify their political positions.

>>17935085
So just like monotheism always has been?

>>17935118
Yes

Calvin (pbuh)

>>17935003

The Confessions is one of the greatest books ever written. Invaluable if you are a Christian and/or theologian. Full of practical wisdom and life experience for everyman. A goldmine of philosophical ideas. The entire Western philosophical canon has pillaged the Confessions for many of its idea. The Cogito, the atemporarity of eternity, rudimentary anticipations of relativity and the relation between time and motion, reflections on presentism and the extensionlessness of the present, i.e., durationlessness, anticipations of Heidegger's Seinsfrage, groundwork for Schelling's speculations on the nature of Evil and its relation to Being and the conditions of its possibility. Augustine is astonishing, and the best thing is that you get all of this already in the Confessions, which isn't that long.

Why, Urs von Balthazar of course.

There is literally nothing wrong with posting on 4chan.

>>17935003
Well if you're going to read Aquinas you should probably read also Augustine because Aquinas quotes him constantly.

>>17935046
Confessions was bretty good, I haven’t gotten to City of God or any of Aquinas yet.

Augustine is more Plato; Aquinas is more Aristotle.
