28. God / A. Divine Nature / 6. Divine Morality / c. God is the good
The only choice is between supernatural good, or evil [Weil]
     Full Idea: In all the crucial problems of human existence the only choice is between supernatural good on the one hand and evil on the other.
     From: Simone Weil (Human Personality [1943], p.86)
     A reaction: This idea strikes me as absurd, but I include it for a fuller picture of Simone Weil. Aristotle (my hero) is referred to, and labelled as more stupid than a village idiot.
