Quote of the Week: Aristotle on God

If, then, God is always in that good state in which we sometimes are, this compels our wonder; and if in a better this compels it yet more. And God is in a better state. And life also belongs to God; for the actuality of thought is life, and God is that actuality; and God's self-dependent actuality is life most good and eternal.

Aristotle, Metaphysics, Book XII, 1072.b24

    You mean all these great philosophers of the past were theists? Balderdash!

      Tony! You're back! :)
      Hey, those old dead guys didn't know what they were talking about though right? We can't possibly learn anything from the ancient world! Or even 100 years ago. We are so much smarter now. :P ;)
