For Scotus, creation is not an afterthought in God’s mind nor is the Incarnation a result of sin. Rather God created the world, and particularly human persons, patterned after Christ Jesus, “the firstborn of all creation” (Col 1:15).
“When your organization becomes more human, more remarkable, faster on its feet, and more likely to connect directly with customers, it becomes indispensable. The very thing that made your employee a linchpin makes YOU a linchpin.”

“The greatest obstacle to religion today does not come so much from atheists but from the neo-foundationalists whose fundamental tenets of religion claim ontological certainty.

The only way to overcome this (paradoxical) religious atheism is to let go of God.”
