"La teología es ignorancia con alas."
— Sam Harris
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
The quote compares studying theology to ignorance that seems impressive but doesn't really teach you anything useful. Imagine a person talking a lot about flying but never actually knowing how to fly an airplane. They might sound knowledgeable with their big words and ideas, but they can't really help you fly. Theology, in this case, is seen as discussing beliefs and divine topics that can't be proven or used in a practical way. It's like having grand ideas that don't help in everyday life. To apply this thinking, one might be encouraged to focus on learning things that are practical and verifiable, rather than getting lost in discussions that can't be backed up with evidence or fact.
