I find the Cosmological arguments compelling, the Teleological and Ontological arguments weak, and the Moral argument blatantly false. But mainly I\u2019m left with the conclusion that if it takes logic this advanced and this nuanced to find God, then God either isn\u2019t there or doesn\u2019t particularly care if we find him or her.<\/span><\/p>\nI\u2019m an engineer by training and by personality \u2013 I like facts, figures, details, and lots of rational linear logic. If I listened only to that part of me, I\u2019d be an atheist, or at best an agnostic.<\/p>\n
Go outside and sit quietly. Feel the sun on your back and the wind on your face. Look up at the night sky and let the moon and stars speak to you. Wade in the river, dance in the rain, walk in the ocean. Watch the miracle of birth and the mystery of death. Don\u2019t try to explain everything, because we humans aren\u2019t as smart as we like to think we are. Just listen.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where I found God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Am I wrong to refer to \u201cGod\u201d? My fear is that if I say \u201cGoddess\u201d or \u201cGoddess and God\u201d the focus of the readers will be directed toward that and not the essence of the argument. I think that essence clearly does NOT refer to the old man with the long white beard, but I still wonder if I shouldn\u2019t be more explicit with Pagan theology\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
