So anytime I, anytime I get into a subject like this, I'm always reminded by folks in the

comments section that I'm not a theologian, I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a scientist,

and thus I'm not qualified to discuss these sorts of matters.

And it's true that I am, I am none of those things.

However, I do reject the idea that you have to be a specialist in order to think about

and talk about the deeper questions in life.

I think that's a very sad way to view life and to go about life, to view it as something

that can only be discussed by highly qualified academics.

And the rest of us just have to sort of walk about our merry way and never think about

these things.

That's not how I see it.

I think that even normal people like myself and you can and should have these discussions.

So, so here goes.

I've always thought that two of the best arguments for the existence of God are these, the argument

from consciousness and the argument from morality.

Now, I don't know if they are the best, to me they're the best, they are, to me the most

compelling.

So, they're so compelling that even if every other argument for God was disproven, which

I, which wouldn't happen, but even if it did happen, I would still think that a belief

in God is the most rational thing based on these two arguments.

Now, I'm not going to get into the whole argument from consciousness thing.

It's, I think it's familiar enough to most people who've thought about these matters.
