Umblând ceva mai mut pe facebook decât de obicei am dat peste o discuţie destul de interesantă, preluată de un alt înfocat al facebook-ului. Se pare că ateismul e la modă generaţia asta. M-am încumetat să dau un posibil răspuns la toată târăşenia asta.
Are you able to create life out of nothing?
Are you able to give order to the creation?
Are you able to invent speech?
Are you able to invent a new language with complex vocabulary and grammar?
Are you able to invent feelings? Can you invent love?
Are you able to invent religion for the first time?
Are you able to invent good or evil?
Are you able to give free will to a person?
Are you able to invent morality?
Are you able to exist on your own will in a social or moral vacuum?
I believe not.
These all simple things, and many more, recall the preexistence of a Person far before human life and society occurred. They simply recall God’s existence.
And by the way; the unicorn is just an idealized horse with powerful symbolism attached. An unicorn, if you want, is a distorted image of the model, here, the horse.
What is religion and what are all the different gods of different times and cultures than distorted images of the Unique God?
If you ask yourselves why certain people don’t believe in God, the answer is because they are anarchists, libertarians, immoral, egocentric, addicted to evil behavior, in a word, they are sinners, and God stands in eternity against their ways. Yet, God loves them.
To believe is to know something for sure, yet you don’t see the object of your belief. It is nothing irrational about belief or faith. Only a rational person can have faith. Reason has its limits. Reason has a starting point and an ending point. Explain through the means of reason the creation. At a certain point reason can’t go any further, because is insufficient. And also science is insufficient to explain all things or phenomena. To have faith is not about seeing the object of the faith, but to understand the effects of what you don’t see, yet you believe in. You don’t see the evil. You see just the effects of evil. You don’t see the good. You see just the effects of good. You don’t see God, but you see proof of he’s existence. Further more, there is a difference between good, evil and God. The capacity of man to make moral judgments and to establish at a certain level what is good and what is bad, is proof for God’s existence as a superior being that holds the perfect knowledge of the difference between the two. People don’t understand that there is an ontological difference between man and God. The fact that we use “matter” vocabulary to describe Gods immaterial being can show two things: 1) that God is a human invention or projection; and 2) that reason stops at a certain point, because humans are limited in their knowledge. The limits can just be imposed by a superior being, God, because of the ontological difference between him and man – God is the Creator and man is the created/creation. In the end, I believe that there is no difference between people who are ignorant and just fallow a cultural / philosophical trend or those who lack in self criticism. In fact probably the second group is in a better position than the first, because they have God and faith. The others have nothing.
