Um I will post this, and then not further debate, as this is what the forum is NOT for, ok? No offense. TC!

Some say: </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
ontological arguments are not terribly popular in most Christian circles these days. First, they seem to beg the question as to what God is like. Second, subjective appeal is low for non-believers as these arguments tend to lack hard objective support. Third, it is difficult to simply state that something must exist by definition. Without good philosophical support for why a thing must exist, simply defining something into existence is not good philosophy (like stating that unicorns are magical single horned horses that exist).

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

I'm all for the arguments of the exisitence of God, whether you wish to discuss ontological, teleological, moral or even the cosmological arguments. I think every Christian should engage in apologetics. However, this is not the time, nor the place, imo to begin a thread on arguments

If you wish to give someone direct support with such a scientific or philosophical argument, then that might be ok, idk for sure...I think I would try it there.

I do support you in your good efforts to comfort though. (((hugs)))
