I feel like I’m back in college with that puffed up intentionally confusing Jesuit priest/professor I had, worring about those whose faith might be hurt by the nonsense that comes out of the man’s mouth.
The human being, because of his transcendent nature must be reverenced. Only a God-fearing people are capable of reverencing the sovereign person in his transcendent nature.
While the atheist, who refuses to acknowledge his “Creator”, is capable of respecting the sovereign person, the atheist, incapacitated by his refusal to acknowledge his “Creator”, is incapable of reverencing the transcendence of the human being, body and soul, the transcendent nature of man.
Mankind, deprived of reverence, is thusly delivered a fatal blow to his pursuit of Happiness, the truth about his sovereignty, his personhood as well as his identity and his destiny.
Atheism manifests itself in the eradication of truth and in the absence of good will for the common good.
The transcendent nature of man reveals itself in truth and in good will for the common good.
