St. Thomas Aquinas. And even his incredible and rare intellect is dwarfed by Our Lady's.

It's already been proven.

All over the place. Open your eyes.

Your statement is terribly convenient. So if I understand correctly... the 3000 other world religious are setups for your religion, which is the real one.

And the billions and billions of years of the ever-expanding universe, the incomprehensible scale of space, all for one infinitesimally small blue-green speck, upon which 99.9% of species came and went extinct in the 100 thousand years of our own existence, the billions and billions of people who were born, few surviving past infancy, the tens of thousands of years of struggle for survival, most people dying of their own teeth, the countless diseases plaguing mankind for the first 98,000 years of our time, the tribal wars, countless slaughters of children and entire tribes based on superstition of what were in fact nothing more than natural events, 98,000 years of slavery, rape, starvation, murder, and ignorance... all part of his divine plan. And after all that misery and suffering, our benevolent creator finally intervened, sending a savior to a bunch of illiterate desert-dwellers (forget the Chinese... who at that time already had written language and literacy), sent a savior to pantomime out the exact same story already told by all the "fake" religions, and was NOT based on the astrological metaphors which strangely correspond with every single element of the Jesus character's story... which years after his death was accounted for in a storybook riddled with self-contradictory statements (here are a few thousand examples), along with barbaric constructs like god's approval of slavery, rape, his own endless capriciousness, and a need for constant adoration, but which is infallibly accurate and the divine inspired word of god (give or take a few thousand contradictions)?

Is that right?


Yes.

If I see a flower in a field, and I find it to be beautiful, is that evidence that someone planted it? No. Of course not. Is the flower devalued by the fact that it exists of its own accord? No, of course not. In fact, I'd contend that making things about the nonexistent gardener rather than the flower is the very thing that devalues it. Because Bakunin and ****.

This isn't an argument. It's silly. So I ask you again, prove it.

OK, again this is 9-10 billion years before the singularity, 13.8 billion years ago. You are clearly pulling this out of your ass. If I don't respond to you going forward it's because you just landed in by ignore file. Goodbye.

Look within. There you will find your proof.

Basically, "faith is the sight of things unseen." That means if you're willing to believe, you'll be able to pick up on religious connections here and there that people who don't believe wouldn't udually get.

I did, but all I found was the bbq ribs I had for dinner. Delicious, but not supernatural.

Try again.

Seems really convenient. Is this "God testing us"?
