Regarding The Mantra “Therefore God Exists”.
*Everyone already knows in their hearts that God exists, therefore God exists.
*There has to be a most perfect being. God is the most perfect being that one can imagine. Therefore God exists.
*This is the best of all possible worlds, therefore God exists.
*Everything that begins to exist has a cause. The Universe began to exist. Therefore the Universe has a cause. Therefore God exists.
*You cannot prove that God doesn't exist, therefore God exists.
*I assume that God exists, therefore God exists.
*There is something rather than nothing, therefore God exists.
*The rainbow was created by God (Genesis 9: 11-16) as God's covenant that He wouldn't drown the lot of humanity ever again. The rainbow obviously exists so therefore God exists.
*Humans consider so highly of themselves that obviously an all-omni deity must have created us because we're so super-special. Since we are the measure of all things and the apple of God's eye, therefore God must exist. But then too we do have a talent for deceiving ourselves!
*Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, therefore God exists.
" ...most perfect world"?????!!!!!
Because no starvation, no wars, no rape, no torture, no tsunami's, etc etc etc. Right?
Rene Descarte came up the idea of God the perfect being and therefore must exist etc. John Locke countered his argument by enlightening him that since he (Descarte) found there was no God, he had to come up with an idea to cover his fear of death and that he had wasted so much time believing in something that was not there. Hobbes agreed with Locke on this point.
