"Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity." St.Therese of Lisieux

Blessed is the man that shall continue in wisdom (Sirach 14:22).

Right, I mean the second you have that radical a materialism being defended its an obvious farce.

[AbdielAbiram]

@Theologica37

Yeah I was trying to sound as non-adversarial as possible in this video to avoid the potential explosion that would result from saying that

@AbdielAbiram Oh, snap!

It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.

Have you read Edward Feser's work on thomistic dualism?

[tumbleweedjoe]

...Meanwhile the atheist physicalists (although they're in reaction against Descartes) are still Cartesians themselves, since they view the body as a kind of meat-machine. They can't see the Aristotelean distinction between material soul (in the sense of an animate substance which activates matter and confers upon it an identity) and machine (whose form is imposed in it externally and exists properly in the mind of the machinist, rather than the thing itself).

Good vid. I'm going to make a series of videos about this myself soon as well. I do get the impression that a lot of the contemporary protestant apologists are creeping cartesians.

Thanks, you've saved me some time.
