A good quote. I didn’t mean the question as “atheist vs believer argument”, but rather as an environment where ideas are accepted and flourish. Because this is how I understood the parent comment: “He eventually got bored.” That is, how was he, the one with brilliant and unorthodox ideas, got accepted in an institution like seminary.
