OT <Again, intelligence does not matter if you set off to prove something that can not be proven> Your picking an argument with someone who is not religious in any shape or form in the traditional sense and who does not even believe in God. So, I won't waste my time even arguing on behalf of the validity of the argument here. <In the end you end up with a string of B.S> I don't think Roman Catholicism is B.S only because so many people believe in it and I'm religiously tolerant. But Roman Catholicism, in contrast to Protestantism and Judaism, does not ultimately set up a barrier between the reason of God and the reason of humans. That's why you have monks, priests and nuns who become devotees and take celibate vows. They become devotees in Buddhism too and take celibate vows because God(or Nothing) is completely accessible and a person can achieve unity there. Good for all of the devotees. There is no need to insult the tenets of a Religion even if you don't agree with it. Your really acting like a Clown or Buffoon, Hogard, because the whole purpose of the proof was a response to a person's request for a proof for the existence of God. Message 14599852 Sure, the person was joking around somewhat. But he was raised Catholic and that's why I presented a little sketch of the proof. If the person was serious I would've gotten more serious in the presentation. So, lighten up. I got better things to do than to defend Roman Catholic proofs for the existence of God that I don't even personally believe in and consider somewhat absurd. PS The Saints of Catholicism like to prove the existence of God. I had to study their proofs in Grad school so I know them. But that's as far as it goes.
