>> “There is a story that St. Augustine was walking on the beach contemplating the mystery of the Trinity...” <<

And you wish to raise your little catholic story to the level of scripture?


I do not wish in any way to raise this little story to the level of scripture. It is an allegory that may or may not have happened and is used to illustrate the nonsense of men. We see it on this forum all the time. People are absolutely certain they have answers that cannot possibly be known to our tiny little brains.

Yet Catholicism demands belief that Mary is the "mother of God".

No,people that happen to be believers understand that all we need to know is revealed in the scriptures!

Your story is not allegory, its fiction.

Augustine never believed the trash that gets laid on him here by the catholics.

We agree on yet another matter; on BOTH sides of these issues.
