This article shows how naive and arrogant human are. If there is A GOD in this world in fact I believe there is, and God create us, how can we human prove that the Creator is exist with our limited knowledge. " f1 n, v0 {  n( O& B
If we can somehow prove that there is a god with our own mehtod, I doubt how great that god is.

為什麼 2nd part 有問題而 1st part 就冇? 係因為 1st part 啱聽而 2nd part 唔啱聽?

用非基督教立場看神又有什麼問題? 我係非基督徒, 我唔認為我對所謂 "神" 或任何宗教作評論會有什麼問題, 或者如你所說o既 "weird".

/ D( X! v( L1 S' ]1) Unbelievers can only use the philosophical approach to tackle the ontological arugments here. Since they don't necessary buy into the revelations (at least not the illumination part), it is impossible to try to understand God (noticed the use of the language) from theological view points. This applies to even scholarly work by professors in secular institutions like Yale and Harvard (unless in the Divinity Schools).1 H1 ?/ a# [# z, d# ~

; P$ V/ f' U3 V0 x2) This article is actually a poor piece in terms of logic. It contains some fallacies and would never take place in a philosophy class. Even Bertard Russell's book "Why I am not a Christian" failed to give us a strong argument for the non-existence of God. If a philosopher professor claims he/she has good ground on the non-existence of God, I urge you not to take his/her classes.

The crisis Christianity faces today is not the existence of the Being. The irrevelancy of the faith is more of a serious problem than the essence of the faith. The inclusiveness of postmodernity is the biggest threat.

A farmowner needed some workers to work on his field. So he took off to the market in the morning and hire a few people. They work hard for the entire day under the intense heat and harsh working conditions. When the day was about to end the farmowner realized  he needed a few extra hands to finish up the work, so he took off for the market again and  hire two more people.* V# p! C& v. q% J; h- L3 E2 R

4 v! N* B8 f; T& A& z- WThe day ended and the workers queue up for their wages. The farmowner paid each one of them a gold coin for their sweat and labour. One worker came up to the farmerowner and asked, "Master, don't I deserve more than a gold coin? I have worked since daybreak and my wages is one gold coin. These people came in late in the afternoon and worked for a couple of hours. And yet you gave them 1 gold coin as well! Isn't it fair?": k- v; c6 R, W8 G2 w; I

3 \  c' w; j9 n6 g7 nThe farmowner replied, "Didn't we agree on the wages before you start?" "I agreed to pay you a gold coin for a day's work, and you agree on it. You got your wages. How I pay for others is my business. The field is mine and I should have the right to pay others whatever I like."
