Hi Pose123 I found interesting you say that was not Jesus intent, when in the gospels He clearly says: "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church" (Mathew 16:18). Not all religions are man made. I know that in jewish-christian begins, it was God who look up for Abraham (read that story). Jesus was the one who funded His religion, and He was God Himself, ...

It is not because of God that those things happens. It is because of the absence of God that happens. You might say, "hey why God doesn´t do something to change this stuff" It is because God has made us with free will to love Him. We wouldn´t be able to do so if we were "programmed" to love him and to be good, because it wouldn´t be of our choice.

I really want Manchester United to be the champion (I´m Ecuadorian as well as Antonio Valencia) so for me I found it really great that they draw again though losing was a better bargain. I watched the last 15 minutes and it was a very good game. It was amazing how in less than a minute they manage to draw the game being 3-1 at first.

But you can also see ethics as complement of divine revelation. For example Aristoteles said that one is really happy when you get near to your ultimate goal. Saint Thomas Aquina said something simi...

I didn´t say it was a complete absence of God. You seem to only see the bad things that happens in the world. But what about the good things that happens around here? Why don´t you say how much good there is in the world? How many people has change because they have found God in their life. How nature is a complex system, so that declaring that the creation of the universe was just by mere chan...

Again as I said, it is possible than a computer just marvelous being created all alone? I don´t think so. Another thing on this matter. Everything that moves has to be moved by another, right? For nothing that has mass (even as small as a proton) can possible move by itself. If that by which it is moved must itself be moved, then this also needs to be moved by another, and that by another again...

Masterfish Hmm well that was rather the point, but there is no reason into those words you say. By those words I would only stand for faith, and not reason. As you may see, the reason I exposed before is more philosophical than mere faith. Chiang_Mai_boy It doesn´t makes sense saying a "community of gods" are the first mover because then who was the one who started in that community? A...
