Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Augustine and Thomas couldn't be further apart, as I pointed out to you before, Augustine was totally Platonic in his theology, he never tried to rationalize God or religion. On the other hand, Thomas, who was Aristotelian, thru his Scholasticism, believed you could explain God thru reason, thus we have the Prime Mover etc arguments. Thusly, Augustine could care less if you believed in God, he felt you either did or you didn't, which was why Thomas felt the need to go further

Apatheism (/ˌæpəˈθiːɪzəm/;[citation needed] a portmanteau of apathy and theism) is the attitude of apathy towards the existence or non-existence of God(s). It is more of an attitude rather than a belief, claim, or belief system.[1][2][3] The term was coined by Robert Nash in 2001.[4]
An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist. The existence of a god or gods is not rejected, but may be designated irrelevant.[5] One of the first recorded apatheists was arguably Denis Diderot (1713 - 1784), who wrote: "It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all."
Scientist and philosopher Ian von Hegner has argued that apatheism is an alternative to positions such as theism, atheism, and agnosticism, with implications that have been overlooked in modern philosophical discussions.[5] Philosopher Trevor Hedberg has called apatheism "uncharted territory in the philosophy of religion."[1] Political theorist and constitutional law scholar, Adam Scott Kunz, has further defined apatheism as "the philosophical attitude of indifference, both public and private, to (1) the question of the existence of a deity, (2) the metaphysical and practical value of loyalty to that deity, and/or (3) the interaction of that deity with the natural world."[3]
