"Saint" Augustine was an ignorant and arrogant IDIOT!

I quote what Augustine wrote: "There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger.  This is the disease of curiosity.  It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn."

Discovering Penicillin and making Medicine which has saved millions of lives was NOTHING?  What an ignorant FOOL!




You really should learn more about the man before making an ass of yourself. Did you bother to read the whole sentence? I would like to point out this:"....those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing......". Augustine speaks of man fooling around with that which should stay hidden. You know like Dolly the sheep that was cloned by Man, not created by God. All that curiosity done by those doctors in the Nazi Death Camps. The curiosity that developed the Atomic Bomb and which killed how many and maimed how many in Japan? There are somethings that should best be left alone.

Do yourself a favor and read a book every 10 yrs or so.
