Does Deep Thought Lead to God? Here's a Shallow Answer

I suppose if they did, we'd just get more of this:

Quote:The theological exigencies inscribed within its texts are effects of the metonymical placing of extreme formulations throughout the texts. The efficacy of these formulations is in their pressure upon ordinary usage and reference....

I don't know about you, but when someone talks about metonymical placing of extreme formulations, I gets all horny like. Who wouldn't?

I LoLed, I have no idea what any of those things meant. I knew they were words and I knew what most of the words meant, I knew they were arranged in sentences as well. But my brain stubbornly refused to form any kind of thought out of them. I read them a second time, out loud, to be sure.

It does seem as though that language is designed to make the reader feel inadequately equipped to understand it.
