Oh, I got the academic, Jesuit-style teaching from my Catholic church and the decade or so of CCD I was compelled to attend as well. I actually spent years thinking rather deeply about it, but that doesn't mean it stuck - I suppose some of us just aren't capable of believing.
You do remind me of one of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes though:
> “Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.”
- toasterlovin 3y agoI'm imagining a dialog in which I ask, "So why does it all exist then?" And you reply, "Well, I'm not sure, no-one is. But it's not God." To which I respond, "My brother in faith!" and embrace you. After that we ponder the ineffable over a few pints.
- 2devnull 3y ago“suppose some of us just aren't capable of believing.” That’s such an obvious fallacy, you should do yourself a favor and introspect how such an absurd idea came into your head. Who put it there? To see it’s absurd, consider, have you ever changed your mind about something? If yes, then it’s obviously possible and maybe even likely that you can and will one day change your views on divinity? If course it’s possible, and actually quite common. And yes, it comes as a surprise.
