I suppose I've never picked Christopher Hitchens over Thomas Aquinas in my life, but let this be the first. Anyone who thinks its good that the saved in Heaven rejoice in the ultimate and eternal torture of others has completely lost all capacity to distinguish between good

Paul speaks of the height, depth, length & breadth of Christ’s love. There are oceans to swim in. Don’t be content with experiencing a cup full.

The natural end of our will is the good. God is the infinite good. It is metaphysically impossible to reject God if one can see Him as He is. It is only because God is veiled that the human will can choose lesser goods in opposition to God (sin).

Philosophy is everybody’s business. Not everybody is called to be a doctor, engineer or whatever but everybody has to have a view on philosophical topics. As men, as thinking individuals, as soon as we reflect upon these things we are doing philosophy.”

Unnatural desire, on the contrary, can be unlimited, because it arises from reason gone astray, which sees unlimited good in a good which is in reality limited.”

If God does not exist a se (from Himself) He cannot be brought into being by another.
So if God does not exist a se, He does not, and cannot, exist at all.

“What could be more important than to train the minds of childhood and to shape the habits of the young? In truth, far greater than any painter, far more excellent than any sculptor or any other artist ranks, in my esteem, the teacher who molds the character of youth."

A new low in the American abuse of rights language. Not only do you have a right to murder your own unborn child, or “identify” as something you’re not, but you also have a right to be created by God and held in existence, and it doesn’t matter one damn bit what God thinks about

One of the principal intentions of divine law is that man be subject to God and give him proper reverence in thought, word and deed.

If a man busts his ass to keep up with all of the latest and greatest academic atheist literature and devotes a significant amount of time to this task, is he still a “non-resistant unbeliever”?

St Athanasius, the great defender of orthodoxy, appointed Didymus the blind, who was an outspoken proponent of apokatastasis and universal salvation, to be the head of the Alexandrian catechetical school, where he served for almost 50 years.

“I answer that, It is erroneous to say that God cannot Himself produce all the determinate effects which are produced by any created cause. Wherefore, since bodies are moved immediately by created causes, we cannot possibly doubt that God can move immediately

“Probably no chapter in the history of the cosmological argument is as significant—or as universally ignored—as that of Arabic theologians and philosophers …. The contribution of these Islamic thinkers is virtually ignored in western anthologies and books on the subject”

“By performing actions we become virtuous is verified by what is done in the state. Legislators make men virtuous by habituating them to virtuous works by means of statutes, rewards, and punishments.
Such ought to be the aim of every legislator-in fact he who does not succeed
