Comments on: Fake Your Way Through a Conversation About: St. Augustine http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/4773 Feel Smart Again Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:59:42 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Dan http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/4773/comment-page-1#comment-115201 Dan Sun, 28 Dec 2008 03:26:00 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/4773#comment-115201 Wow, you really trashed my admiration of you with that last paragraph about the "pick up line". Saying "Nothing makes someone feel special like ripping off your habit or priestly collar and saying, “Lord, make me chaste—but not yet.” Augustine is confessing (note the name of the book- Confessions) the internal struggle he had like the ones every human being has and you make a mockery of it by suggesting he is just like some perverted priest. He wasn't a "priest", he was a church leader who was honest and after proclaiming faith in Jesus Christ did live a godly life. But you have to use his confession as a joke. Very poor taste. I wonder if any of your friends, especially those you consider to be decent people, share their struggles with you and if you mock them as well.

Kevin,

Pronounciation of the Latin word ‘SUM’ as in ‘cogeto ergo sum’ would be ’soom’, rather than ’some’.
