  • Atheism: A Story of Teenage Anguish
    The miracle of Fatima is the central event of 20th century history. The miracle of Fatima is fundamental to contemporary political science because, as it speaks of the prediction of war, it is a data of analysis. It cannot be dismissed as a subjective belief. There is not one miracle of Fatima, but an incredible succession of miracles. In the very prophecy of Fatima (which, by the way, happened in 1917) She said that Russia would spread its ERRORS throughout the world.

    There is this illiterate kid in Ruanda who talked with Jesus, who asked him if he was going to preach the gospel, and he said yes, but with one condition: that he would answer his questions. After that, Vatican investigators went on a trip and after interrogating the boy they saw that he knew as much as a Saint Thomas Aquinas. Research the battle of Lepanto, in which a smaller Christian army defeated the Muslim hordes with the help of Our Lady who guided them to where to throw the cannons of the ships. Our Lady, in Lourdes, Fatima or Garabandal, shows to children the horrors of hell before opening the doors to the divine world. Study the lives of the saints. The testimonies and documents reporting the experience of God are COUNTLESS, only see those who do not want to. Whoever is dishonest chooses to cover their eyes and pretend it doesn't exist, but that doesn't cancel the consequences of having ignored reality.

    Do you want proof from God? Ask Him. If you want to invent proof of His existence, you can spend all the logic in the world that the most that will happen is that your proof has a relative value: some will accept it, others will not; even you will be in doubt, for there is no proof that it is so absolutely perfect that it cannot be refuted in any way. Therefore, what you should do is ask someone more competent, for God Himself: “God, show me that You exist” Isn’t it simple? “Show that You exist, show that You love me, show that You are there” He will show.

    It is just that you cannot stand before Him in the position of the scientific observer, because the scientific observer controls the experience and in order to have this kind of knowledge of God, it is necessary to transform yourself into nothingness, reach total passivity — but attentive passivity, without being sleeping, or in a mystical trance, or anything. You will just give up thinking about anything, you will know your total ignorance, your total nullity, your total lack of merit and it is in this position of this conscious nothingness that you will stand before God and see His action. This is the only way to know God, unless a miracle happens in the outside world, as it happened, for example, with those 70,000 people who were in Fatima. Nobody asked for anything and it happened. Those three kids did not ask for anything either, it was Our Lady who called them. This can happen to you, but if you are not so fortunate, you can ask God: “Act on me. Make me what I can’t be, what I couldn’t be. Teach me what I don’t know and what I won’t be able to learn for myself.” He will do that.

    The discussion of the evidence for the existence of "some" God can go on indefinitely, and we will always be talking about a mere generic concept, not about God itself. However, proof of THIS God (the Christian one, at least) can be obtained by the scientific study of his ACTION IN THE WORLD, especially by the critical history of miracles and prophecies. The proof of the existence of the TRUE GOD is a scientific-experimental problem, not a problem of mere logic.

    At every moment we see new academic discussions about “the existence of God”, which are increasingly sophisticated and meticulous. But not one is seen about miracles and prophecies. Why such an eagerness to prove IN ABSTRACT the existence of Someone who could more easily be known and proven by his CONCRETE ACTIONS in the real world? Is it not because the academic public wants only the "God of philosophers" instead of the God of Abraham? Just think about it.

  • An argument that our universe is a giant causal loop
    Time doesnt ezistGregory
    Of course time exists, if it weren't so the whole physics wouldn't be possible. What you said was very dumb, so please, go back to elementary school.
  • An argument that our universe is a giant causal loop
    Nah. Even if it was the case, what is the origin of the loop? I mean, an loop can't generate itself out of nowhere, even less so an entire universe.
