Of course he didn't. No church father did so, because citations were invented in the 16th century.

The fool says in his heart there is no God." (St. Augustine)

That was not Saint Augustine, rather David the prophet in Psalm 14:1-3.

Indeed.

I guess St. Augustine mentions this verse frequently.

✞✞✞

no he doesn't.

Anselm, however, used it in his philosophical argument for the proof of the existence of God, which is known as the ontological argument.

I believe he did. I have a book where he mentions and explains the verse.

May I ask why you would jump to this conclusion so quickly? I would think only a handful of people have read every single Augustinian work, as he did write quite a bit.

You said St. Augustine mentions this verse "frequently." I replied to the negative, because he did not use it frequently. His frequent term is "Truth." You may have come across St. Augustine's interpretation of the Psalm, since he has an entire book interpreting all the Psalms.

The person who does use the term frequently is Anselm.

Interesting. I know that Anselm mentions it extensively, as many of his arguments deal with the existence of God.

They would usually mention an author.

[TITL]

I think you are hiding behind a facade of atheism to cover up other personal reasons for not wanting a God.

TITL, can you credibilize my main point that atheism has ulterior motives? TheGodChrist just did.

PS. The actual verb is accredit, not credibilize. But as Guardian of Credibility, you can just "Mad credit props, saith the Guardian."

Your score can't be higher than ILSM's, so I can only bring you down a decimal point: 3.3

Oh. Accredit. I'll remember that.

Gabriel,

No one every set out to prove the Tooth Fairy exists because we already know she doesn't.

Correction: the Tooth Fairy is in fact a he.

Thank you.
