"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult." - E. B. White

A seditious comic strip (which shall not be named) on Theology, aka Intellectual Tennis Without a Net:



B: But A, isn't this 'Sensus Divinitatis' just a way to justify your excess of metaphysical certainty

A: Not at all! But it does explain why I am so firm in my beliefs

B: So why haven't I got a Sensus Divinitatis?

A: You could be suffering from a cognitive malfunction

C: So you are saying that all atheists are retarded?

A: Not at all! Just mentally deficient

A: Or maybe you do have a Sensus Divinitatus, but it has been made moribund by sin

C: She doesn't appear to be persuaded


As C remarked in a previous strip, on not being able to rely on his 'Sensus Divinitatus' (by definition) and having to build his own epistemological life raft:

"But... I don't know Latin"
