Re: Book 3 Opening Thoughts
(Kristi)Thus, what are the differences between us suffering and the Romans suffering (described in this section)?
I think Augustine is saying that the gods were worshiped so that the worshipers would not suffer, and to disprove these gods Augustine shows how they don't "do their jobs."
Re: Ambition in Religion
I do see that as I learn more about God, a greater percentage of my life (thoughts, actions, etc.) is lived with God in mind. I wonder if this is in any way similar to "creating gods" for every facet of life... I'm not saying it is an acceptable way of living, but is it kinda the same?
