Bravo...the words of such a man, as St. Augustin, need to be read and reread and reread again and again...they were timely when written and timely now....I have read this passage before early in my time on these crevo threads, yet reading it and rereading it, is always inspirational, and should be read by everyone....such stirring words, such clear, insightful thoughts, are appreciated by me, every single time I read this passage...
Thanks for bringing it up again, there are many who may have never read this passage...
"The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell." -- St. Augustine
