  Augustine (354-430)
  Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died
  Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.
  Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.
  A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.
  God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.
  One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.
  People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.
