God exists : God does not exist

This is for YOU. . .You know who you are!

A case of contradictories which are true.  God exists : God does not exist.  Where is the problem?  I am quite sure that there is a God in the sense that I am quite sure that my love is not illusory.  I am quite sure that there is not a God in the sense that I am quite sure nothing real can be anything like what I am able to conceive when I pronounce this word.  But that which I cannot conceive is not an illusion. (Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace, Routledge, 114.)

Note the near perfect Thomistic distinction. . .

  1. Sounds a bit like Meister Eckhart. Well, except maybe for the bit where she explains herself.

    1. My thought exactly. She starts off sounding a lot like the Rhineland mystics and then quickly shifts back toward sounding like a sensible Thomist!
