And it isn’t even from The Donald! No. It’s from Albert the Pious.
One of the unique privileges of being in an intellectual community like @SBTS is encountering huge ideas in person. https://t.co/0Pl6yLBKor

“Intellectual community”? Seriously? Puh-leeze. Since theologians haven’t even done the needful work of establishing that Our Invisible Friend actually exists, what could theology — the study of god and man’s relationship with god — possibly be but the construction of cotton-candy fairy-castles in the sky?
What value has the claim that “god wants this” or “god forbids that” when it hasn’t even been established that god is real? What do such statements even mean?
There is a reason why theology has nothing to show for itself but Niagaras of bloodshed, and theological disputes can never be settled, but science and engineering have accomplished so much in the last few hundred years, and that reason is that theology doesn’t rest upon established facts. It rests upon make-believe and wishful thinking and alternative facts.
“Intellectual community” my ass.
