@ArgumentativeMonotheist @parricc sounds like you've either been reading Thomas Aquinas, or should read him.

    I have a bit of knowledge on his theology but I might have been more influenced by the ones that inspired him (Aristotle, ibn Sina). But maybe I should, thank you for the suggestion! 👍

    @ArgumentativeMonotheist You might also enjoy "The Quest For Saint Aquin" (1951), a classic science fiction story by Anthony Boucher. It's available free online. sdfo.org/gj/stories/thequestfo

    Damn, a 1951 sci fi recommendation? And it's not even 20 pages long? Thank you!

    @ArgumentativeMonotheist I first encountered it in "The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume 1". It was used by the Science Fiction Writers of America to honor science fiction stories which predated the Hugo and Nebula. Boucher was an outstanding critic, science fiction author, and mystery writer. In fact, the first major mystery convention, BoucherCon, is named after him. He was also quite a religious man. You might also like "The Devil's Day" (1980) by James Blish. He was another devout science fiction author who wrote some brilliant works that included aspects of religion.
