Soft Theological Determinism

Famous quotes containing the words soft, theological and/or determinism:

    He laid his two sides down on the floor,

    one part a barbed hook,
    one part papa,
    one part Doppelgänger.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Our own theological Church, as we know, has scorned and vilified the body till it has seemed almost a reproach and a shame to have one, yet at the same time has credited it with power to drag the soul to perdition.
    Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)

    Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
