> Among the most puzzling and paradoxical ideas in his Systematic Theology (1951) is his statement that ‘God does not exist’ and that ‘to argue that God exists is to deny him.’ Tillich goes on to state that the word ‘existence’ should never be used in conjunction with the word ‘God’.

By reading this, I am tempted to imagine the intellectual atmosphere that prompted the logical positivists to insist on what constitutes meaningful statements to the point of being themselves incoherent [1].
