Is There a God?
24-Aug-2008
There are fascinating arguments launched by philosophers for believing in existence of a divine being. Ontological Argument brings the most intriguing of such ideas forward.
The word Ontos means existence and the word Logos means reasoning. The argument has grown dominantly in the ideas of Saint Anselm ( British archbishop of Cantenbury 1033 – 1109 AD) as well as in Rene Descartes (French mathematician/philosopher 1596 – 1650 AD). Same ideas are portrayed in world-views of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Italian philosopher 1225 – 1274 AD) and Rumi and Hafiz (Persian philosophers of the 13th and 14th century AD).
But, even such robust ideologies have failed to save us from ourselves. It seems that all these thinkers’ triumph into the realm of supernatural has been wasted in the evanescent mediocre pleasures of the last centuries.
Now, we need to stop and think about the suffering that all this negligence has brought us. In the name of God, nationalism, religion, and race we have vouchsafed continuous atrocities against humanity. We have allowed moral decadence to diminish the purpose of life.
The main question should not anymore be whether God exists. All this reasoning should be focused on Morality. Today, we need to ask what it is that we need to accomplish with us the Human Beings- whether there is a God or not.

"" we need to stop and think about the suffering that all this negligence has brought us. In the name of God, nationalism, religion, and race we have vouchsafed continuous atrocities against humanity. We have allowed moral decadence to diminish the purpose of life.''
Is only the behaviour of humanity in his/her adolescence. I like to refer you to Shoghi Effendi's paragraph in his book called " promised day is come".
""The ages of its infancy and childhood are past, never again to return, while the Great Age, the consummation of all ages, which must signalize the coming of age of the entire human race, is yet to come. The convulsions of this transitional and most turbulent period in the annals of humanity are the essential prerequisites, and herald the inevitable approach, of that Age of Ages, “the time of the end,” in which the folly and tumult of strife that has, since the dawn of history, blackened the annals of mankind, will have been finally transmuted into the wisdom and the tranquility of an undisturbed, a universal, and lasting peace, in which the discord and separation of the children of men will have given way to the worldwide reconciliation, and the complete unification of the divers elements that constitute human society."" TahirihYes God does exist
by John on Sun Aug 24, 2008 02:36 PM PDT... but only in the minds of delusional people who are willing to sacrifice their lives and those of their family, friends, neighbours and enemies in the hope of attaining eternal bliss.
I sincerely hope that people of all religions who have perpetrated hatred and horrors upon their fellow human beings in the name of a mythical superior being experience at the time of their deaths at least a moment's realization that they have been hoodwinked, deluded, conned and bamboozled by the absurd demogogues and liars who pass themselves off as God's representatives on earth.

I think samsam is a miracle
by skatermom (not verified) on Sun Aug 24, 2008 01:20 PM PDTI think samsam is a miracle to modern science. He must have died. Gone to heaven. Hung out with the all mighty and is now prepared to tell us all about it.
Samsam
by jamshid on Sun Aug 24, 2008 12:26 PM PDTProve it. Prove that it exists. And if it does exist, prove that it is what you think it is, and not something entirely different. Or prove that it does not exist. Prove anything! Just try.
Yes there is a God
by samsam1111 on Sun Aug 24, 2008 11:30 AM PDT& Yes it does truly matter. Without spirituality the world is an abyss.Atheism via it,s own agenda defeats it,s purpose.It simply replaces one God(the true) with another so called Absolute Pragmatism & Humanism.
