Apparently today is his day, and rumor has it he is the patron
saint of brewers.
But, besides that,he was also a supremely intelligent man.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be
interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science
and our God-given reason. Pretty damn smart for someone
who lived between 354-430 A.D. And obviously a whole lot smarter
than many of today's 'Christians', who must have been in the wrong
line when God was handing out reason...
And he may very well have enjoyed beer...so that's two for our side!!
