Yeah, those wiley Protestant TEs like St. John of Damascus, the last of the
Greek Fathers, who said in the *De Fide Orthodoxa* that God could not be
demonstrated to exist because we can only know what God's essense does *not*
consist of. How do I know this? Because Thomas quotes him while arguing for
the *Quinque Viae *in the *Summa Theologica. *Also note just because I might
deny one of five, I don't necessarily deny all of five. Another clue about
where I'm coming from. I'm kind of fond of St. Anselm in his
*Proslogion *although
I believe Jonathan Edwards did improve on him in *On Being*.
