I remember being mildly impressed by this “quandary” when I was 16-17, but the older I got, it is just sheer nonsensical BS disguised as profundity.
Which, as we have all come to know, the world is full of these kinds of sophomoric “thoughts”.
Josh: Why would God contradict Himself when The Infinite Supreme Sovereign Being, God, is perfect? God is also immutable that is unchangeable. God loves atheists.
You would deny or change the miracle who you are?
God does love them. I just meant that when I was a teen the typical atheist attempt at this sort of thing “made me think”.
I certainly don’t deny the miraculous. I have seen way too much since 17 to deny it.
I haven’t seen this meme yet; I absolutely love it.
It is right up there with another “imponderable” that some atheists love to pose (and in fact, a “free spirit” civilian contractor once posed it to me): “If ‘everything in moderation’ is virtuous, then does that mean I can murder in moderation, fornicate in moderation, etc., etc.?” I replied–as any good Catholic would: “Things that are in and of themselves excessive do not admit of moderation, and therefore, the notion of ‘murder in moderation’ is absurd, i.e., without meaning.” The contractor claimed that no one had ever been able to answer that objection before.
I guess he’d never met a Thomist.
People who are too enamored of languages forget that, as part of a fallen world, language is also fallen and imperfect. As such, it can be made to do things that are nonsense.
Those enamored of the language called “math” are among the worst 🙂
Hey TBO, I am enamored of Math–she (it?) is my mistress, but not my wife. I do almost all the math puzzles on YouTube, but she (it?) doesn’t have anything to say about my moral behavior.
