Mister ST. THOMAS aquinas' five wayssss

dis dude was also a G.

he tries to prove god exists and i agree with it but through FAITHHH!

it could alll be argued against, i know but ya'll are just haters yadigg?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
St. Thomas Aquinas was a Dominican priest, theologian, and philosopher who believed reason should be embraced by Christianity. Aquinas showed how reason was not an enemy to faith, so he developed rational arguments for the existence of God. instead of seeing reason as an opposition to faith, as it was during the Middle Ages, Aquinas brings reason back into focus and teaches how to embrace it in order to prove Christian faith.



he brings five ways to prove the existance of god..that's cool and all but they could all be debated against..but only can they be true through FAITH.




okay so third way: contingent and necessary objects


this is the most unreasonable to me...

it concludes with four statements
1. contingent beings are caused.
2. not every being can be contingent.
3. there must exist a being which is necessary to cause contingent beings.
4. this necessary being is god.

i would argue with this by: If we did not exist, does god not exist?

this is a problem because if we stopped existing then wouldn't the existing being which causes the contingent beings to exist have no purpose to exist at all? this being GOD.
god would not exist if we did not, which is what i am basically stating.



now the fourth way: the argument from degrees and perfection

St. Aquinas states how there should be a greater degree of beauty and perfection between the two.

simply i will say:


Everyone has a different view of beauty. We are made that way by human nature.

if i did not believe god was beautiful now, is he still god??

hm. if i did not believe he was a myriad of rich humanly characteristics den how could he still be god...

St. Aquinas stated There must be a perfect standard by which all such qualities are measured. these perfections are contained in god.

are they really? cuz what if i said theyre not?
