he didn't believe we ought to worship Mary since he knew Mary is not another God.

he set the base of chistiannity but in the same time he plonge human kind into the dark age that prevent science to devellope let man ignorant so he could manipulate them to belive in fairy tale that is the bible

[1973kasiunia]

@mystisme If you consider The Bible fairy tales it apparent that you never read it. What you call dark ages

appear only in politically correct schoolbooks for kids and in the minds of infantile half-wits like yourself. Your childish and stereotypical semi knowledge is embarrasing.

[mystisme]

i have been 2 st.augustine w/ my friend

[satexadmin]

I am just about done with St. Augustines Confessions. People, today, as a kneejerk reaction to what they have been 'taught', call him someone who was evil. Compared to people today, he was not. In fact, to call him evil by todays standards, is laughable. If St. Augustine was evil, then we're all in trouble. St. Austistine, at his worst, was better than most people are today. Don't believe me ? Read his confession and decide for yourself.

[Drgamedood]

@satexadmin Really? This is a man who advocated for the torture of heretics. You don't find that morally repugnant in any way?

[mottiain]

The absence of evidence of scholarship in this video, I presume, is a foretaste of the high academic standards employed at the college for which this 'biography' is an advertisement. High intellectual standards indeed.

[afterdavit]

I've heard of Christian Converts, but perverts, Augustine started all that bit...

[joevais]

Overall, not bad. Good primer on the life of Augustine of Hippo. The narrator sounds like she's only 12 years old though!

[ZeMusic13]

I enjoyed the Presentation...!!! Very Proffesional...it certainly does come across as advertisement but that is whole idea...to sell people communities, Nations, a religion...!!! I've shared it with my wife who is in a Baptist Seminar...!!!

Thank You...!!!

This aint a biography it's a bloody advert.

"The CATHOLIC church, where he had found meaning...."

There was NO catholic CHURCH before the great Schism which occurred at about 1054 AD, long after St. Augustine's death. THERE WAS ONLY 1 CHURCH TILL THEN. He didn't find peace in the CATHOLIC church in specific. He found peace in GOD and he served Christianity, NOT the Catholic church in specific! There was no Catholicism till 1054 when Christianity was SADLY divided to Catholic and Orthodox.

I love st. Augustine. My most favourite writer.

[clarkewi]

Augustine was the man who launched what later became Islam in an effort to destroy Christians that wouldn't bow to Ceasar before God. Thousands were killed.

[renovatio1988]

Yea, and Calvin allegedly allowed people to be burned. But if we start looking at peoples mistakes we will miss what great things theyve done. surely you wouldn't want people to remember your evil deeds predominately right? i wouldn't. And im not catholic either. Its providence.

[clarkewi]

I agree. Paul actually took many, many "liberties" with the Nazarene Judaism that is now called "Christianity". But he did his job, he spread the gospel to "the heathan" as the prophets said he would. He as one of the greatest religious figureheads as a result. Providence? Maybe so.

[hrvo6]

COME AGAIN?? I'm not being sarcastic, believe me, i'm just really, really preplexed by that statement.

[clarkewi]

Investigate the history of Augustine. His efforts to eradicate Christians that would not submit to Ceasar (Sabbath keepers) using Arabs in North Africa into Arabia got out of hand and evolved into Islam.

[MegaNickylarson]

@clarkewi is not arab bet amazigh

[iflisse]

@clarkewi what the fuck are you saying? north Africans are not arabs ! they ara arabized after 700 ac ( before they don't call them arabs but numidians or Africans or berbers
