Questions about the Catholic church

[quote name='Qwertyuiop' date='Feb 11 2005, 04:55 PM'] Are you supposed to feel God then? Or Grace or something. Is that the way it begins? I mean, where do you draw the conclusions from? [/quote]
It's different for different people. I'm more of a Doubting Thomas type person.

Feelings are part, but not neccesary. For me, it's a bit more logical. If you think there might be a God, some intelligent entity that started existence, the first cause of everything, then look around for evidence. Don't just accept other's opinions. Open your mind and don't be afraid of hind-sight. Does it seem possible that more than chance/coincidence certain things are happening or happened in your life that are significant? Is there any evidence that no matter how often you made a bad decision, there is/was always an opportunity to choose again? etc., etc.

He didn't start existance. He IS existance.

Like I propose in the other thread, this is not about whether God exists or whether God doesn't exist. So long as we both believe in the philosophy that everything DOES exist (and not the idea that we're all just someone else's dream and will go poof when he wakes up or something) then we are rather disagreeing about what the nature of existance is. us saying it is personal, the athiest saying it is impersonal.

Hi, [b]Aluigi[/b].

Are you saying that atheism is the same as pantheism?
