with all due respect, that si what every religous person says, it si impossible to prove his existence, well it is possible to prove his nonexistence due to the sheer number of laws of life that he breaks, no organism is immortal, all organisms must be made of cells, in addition he breaks the “law of common sense” no one can perform magic and create a planet.

J- I’m not sure if you mean to but, you sound like a very angry individual. I would still like to address some of your questions though, as they are viewed so widely.

The statement of proving that God exists is irrelevant for the most part, but not because it doesn’t matter. To prove something would mean it is in the realm of our grasping and range of analysis, like something we can put under a microscope. God isn’t someone or thing that you can do a biopsy on to learn about. This frustrates the “scientific theory” world that we live in, because we have grown so dependent on this singular principle alone.

Also, if I were not a believer, I would be hard pressed to believe that a Being that is holding all things in existence every second and created everything would be so easy to “see” or prove tangibly, because of the sheer vastness of this Being.

As someone that uses the internet and free able to read and observe the articles of these types of sites we really only ask that you have an open mind that that which science hasn’t/or will never be able to see or acknowledge. There is no crime in investigating and/or believing in something that has not been empirically proven.

Actually my name isn’t a contradiction because I am apart of the Church militant not a part of the Church Triumphant yet (in heaven). This is an age old expression.

I see you confuse natural law with being a naturalist, by our examples. As Catholics we believe that God gave us our minds and intellect to aid us in life. Things like medicine and computers are perfectly fine. Here are some good links about natural law.

This link is from Thomas Aquinas, respected by even secularists, on natural law:

This link is a very through look at Natural Law, in the traditional sense, and breaks it down:

and i have a message to everyone who has ever used this site, can you even PROVE the existence of god??? and no, sara, as cultures mix religion is sinking and atheism or what i call COMMON SENSE is growing, gay marriage is and will be legalized, give up, there is no god. in addition are you aware cutting your hair is a sin? wearing mixed cloth??? guess what, your “jesus” was the son of Mary who just didnt wanna get caught being a whore so she lied and claimed her son the son of god. as Jesus grew up and became more of a pothead, as did the writers of the bible. and shockingly GASP! magic isn’t real and no one can be immortal so how can god exist with no body and no conncouns mind

J- I don’t care if 53% of people want to call a chair a table, its still a chair! Anatomy shows that two from the same sex don’t “fit.” Have you ever worked a puzzle before its pretty simple. We call this “natural law.” Not that complicated.

As a Catholic, and more generally a Christian, I’m finding that the more I care about and get involved with events and programs that are deeply spiritual – such as the rally – the more I suffer. It was an amazing realization. I better understand now why so many people stay insulated and self-absorbed. It’s easier. But, oh, what a mistake. Suffering – and joy – is what happens when we truly follow our Lord, Jesus Christ. As Red says it’s been fortold these days would come. But it also says those who are faithful will be victorious. I feel sorry for those like J who seem so desperate to show how enlightened they are without God. I for one will keep fighting for religious freedom and the rights of unborn children, no matter how much suffering is involved. And I will never apologize for it. Not to selfish mothers who put convenience and comfort over the lives of their unborn children. Not to the multitude who claim to be “offended” because I do not support gay marriage. And contrary to what J wants to believe, there are quite of few of us – *GASP!* – Christians, and more coming along behind us. My Friends in Christ, keep the faith. We already know how the story ends!

sean said”As will become evident during the rest of this century when it becomes apparent how homosexuality/lesbianism cannot exist as viable lifestyles.” that my freind, is wrong,over 53% of people support gay marrige, and those that dont will be turned soon, people are allowed to love whoever they love, in 50 years, our children (adopted or not) will look back and say ” why didnt people give gays equal rights? thats like not giving someone rights because of their skin color!” there is no way of avoiding, gay marrige will become more supported, as religon dies out more and more these days kids are pretending to be religous around their parents while really being a atheist. we as a people, not religous people, not black, white asian or any other ethnicity individually, all have the right to love, a right that will not remain un given. there will be no more blankets covering the eyes of the next generation, ignorance/ homophobia is not/will never be again the norm.

Thanks be to God and his only Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you, Cardinal Dolan, for continuing to have the COURAGE to stand up in the public arena, in the face of great opposition, to support our First Amendment and Constitutional rights. Make no mistake about it, the battle has JUST BEGUN!

As a Christian who just happens to be Catholic and a mother, it saddens me to see all this hateful arguing going on among the people of this great nation. PLEASE, we ALL need to set aside our personal and egotistical opinions and do what is RIGHT for the future of our country AND the futures of our children. We are all created equal under God and under the law of our land.

If you don’t like something that is happening in our country, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT that is CONSTRUCTIVE, I beg of you. Your belief system does not matter to me–Catholic or Jew, Muslim or Atheist–because no matter what your belief system is, you still have a CONSCIENCE. And you have to live with yourself.

We are ALL CITIZENS of this country and if the SILENT MAJORITY does not start doing something constructive to drastically change the future course of our government, which has no moral compass or conscience, then who is to be blame? Nobody but ourselves, “WE THE PEOPLE…”

And I happen to believe that we are all BETTER THAN THAT, that our CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT.

Thank you for keeping an open mind and heart and JUST DO IT! DEFEND YOUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM before it is TOO LATE!
