Tertullian
c. 160-225 CE
c. 160-225 CE
| Tertullian was one of the most Eastern minds in the West. He said, "I believe in God because it is impossible to believe. I believe in God because it is absurd." This is the basic Eastern attitude: because it is absurd. No one can say this in the West. In the West they say that you should believe something only when it is rational. Otherwise it is just a belief, a superstition... --Osho The Psychology of the Esoteric, ch. 10 |
