Philosophy of Religion

[St. Jimmy]

Today I learned that if I want to confuse myself, just look at my Philosophy of Religion textbook.

I think it is a psyche experiment. They are watching you read the book through a one way mirror. They are snickering to themselves wondering how long it will take you to figure out it is gibberish. Like reading Finnegan's Wake.

the ontological theories on the existence of God, run in so many circles around each other, that they finally make sense. Descartes, spinoza, and lebintz, are ridiculous. Ijust think they were a some really smart gys, that wanted to prove God existed, knew they couldn't, so they came up with some confusing bullshit that people didn't have the mind power to attempt to argue in their time.

And it still works for many.

Not to be snarky here, but I think before you make sweeping judgements about some of the world's foremost thinkers, you ought to compose your essays properly.

Just a at-first-glance opinion on their theory on why God must exist. I think that the teleological and cosmological arguments for the existence of God are a bit more solid, than Descartes theory of, if the concept of a necessary being exists, then it can't not exist without self contradiction.

(can a moderator branch these last few posts into a separate thread in the religion forum?)

The posts up until this point were split from this thread. Carry on.
