More people should begin discussions with secularist like this:

This is Fr Norris Clarke?!

Yes

Seems like the very genuine Jesuit model of asking questions to get to the heart of the matter. That’s what a friend told me of their educational style, at least. Good method for when you can talk with someone at length.

@jdflynn I took metaphysics with him. One of the highlights of my academic life.

@jdflynn That’s so cool.

I have found no paper or books about how human, as a finite creature, has this seemingly infinite desire that could only be fulfilled by God.

He has a book, “The One and the Many” by Norris Clarke. C.S. Lewis is also famous for talking about a God shaped whole in people.

This is also an excellent argument against the Muslim conception of beatitude in heaven.

Them: "Christians and Muslims don't worship the same God because we disagree about God's nature." Me: Um, that argument actually entails that we're referring to the same being.

If I am talking to a Hindu and he says "Vishnu has 4 arms" do I argue with him? No. Because I don't believe in Vishnu and don't care how many arms he has. But if a Muslim says, "God isn't Trinity" do I argue? Yes. Because we're disagreeing (in a big way) about the same God.

if you dont believe Mary is Queen of the universe then you don't believe Jesus is King of the universe
