I read your post about going back and forth about belief in God, but that you believe in God. So I was wondering if you’ve ever read “Confessions” by Augustine?

Read of it, about it, but never ‘it’.. and I should. I’d love to get in depth on it so I will make it a point to actually do that this year. But what I do know about Confessions that it seems to say that everything is good in so far as it exists. And that concept is interesting. I mean, murder and sin exist, in a way? And so does the death of infants and war.. so are they good?

I also know that Confessions points to a Neoplatonic system… 





By the end of the summer I promise to know more and get more in depth. Life is about trying to figure out why we are here and what we are doing–it’s the never ending question and eternal mission of our souls.. why not start to read more in depth now, I guess.
