Originally, those who already had faith used the arguments as ways of further deepening their understanding of God. Today, without "faith seeking understanding," arguments for the existence of God are typically regarded as valid but not sound.<br /><br />When faith and reason are united, it's obviously a very strong union. In philosophy, folks sometimes get enraged having discussions about God, which I always found strange.<br /><br />I live every day in a manner that indicates that I don't truly know whether or not God exists. Some call that being agnostic, but I think a more nuanced view is important on these matters. <br /><br />Dr. Rieux, in *the Plague* by Camus, knew one things for sure: people were dying horrible deaths all around him. As a physician, he practiced his vocation with dignity and care of others.<br /><br />Happy Easter Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-4190718930147621022013-03-31T20:22:32.749-04:002013-03-31T20:22:32.749-04:00I think that, if there's a god, then God walke...I think that, if there's a god, then God walked an eternity from the Garden to God's place in your heart. <br /><br />Times like this, I believe exactly what I believed 40 years ago.

He said that people have told him that he should tell people that he is a Christian. Then he added that Christ's "fan club" is crazy sometimes, but that shouldn't be the reason we don't follow him ourselves. Just because he's mis-represented, and we don't accept THEIR view of him, doesn't mean we should toss Him out too...<br /><br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527926041729913404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-86196665470050269862013-03-31T08:27:17.585-04:002013-03-31T08:27:17.585-04:00Hi!

You write that people ask why you believe in a God that doesn't believe in you...? I hear only that YOU believe in GOD. The second half of that sentence was set down by people, a human construct. ... not God's! On this, the holiest day on the Christian calendar, I know for sure that God believes in every single one of us gay or straight... even if some of his misguided followers pretty high up in the "church" don't!
