God doesn't exist, because I said so.
When fighting monsters, be wary not to become one yourself... when gazing into the abyss, bear in mind that the abyss also gazes into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
The rightful owner of this Ciddie can kiss my arse! :P
speaking of circular reasoning...
Hah, you should be asking them why they feel enlightened enough to make such an assertation about something as hard to figure out as God's existence.Originally Posted by Breine
[q=Besimudo]As for those who believe that God is yet to be proven, may I recommend Descartes? [/q]
Descartes is far from proving the existence of a God.
I'm a little rusty on his proof, but didn't he claim that we inherently had no ability to know, and then from that point of thinking try to justify that God gives us our ability to know? Where the heck did God come from anyway?
Where did that step come from? I have yet to truly grasp that.
Proofs of God are very odd at best. Though I tend to believe that Aquinas' assertion that God must've started the flow of causality to be the closest to plausible. Even science is starting to go that route, though empirically God can't be found.
Hehe, Yeah... I guess I should
Sorry Doom gaze... when a Christian "hates", they commit the sin of Judgement. It seems that many here cannot distinguish between the God head and his followers.
"Humans feel physical attraction before they can comprehend what physical attraction is. That makes the sensation innate, and thus natural."
Simple! Be celibate then.

Well it is better than conforming to the works and predecessors of modernist Erich Von Daniken. Such people have no idea about the universe or its pattern, without mention that they have no proof of aliens.
You are Quistis! You're a popular one. Life keeps you busy,
but you still try to slow down once in a while and enjoy the
world around you, in spite of how busy you are. You're in good
shape, and you can't help being a bit of a flirt.

Haha, you have a point there. I've read a few of his books and they're really funny more than anything.
The fact that something else is even worse does not make Descartes' proof any better.
You should read "Ethics" by Baruch Spinoza. His proof of God's existence is pretty good.
I'm Roman Catholic. I don't go to church on a regular basis, because I'm very lazy.
