The Catholic church has the best credibility out of all organizations in the world. She is the world longest lasting institution (2000yrs), world largest religion, world largest charity, has the highest moral standards (no divorce, contraception, abortion), foundation of Western Civilization (universities, arts, music), etc., I could go on and on but I think you get my point. I don't believe in the Buddah or Mohammad because I don't trust the credibility of their organization...

@havock89. That's a great question. The way I come to believe in Jesus is quite simple. I believe that Jesus is more credible than other messiahs is because the Catholic Church tells me so. Why do we buy a certain car, go to a certain school/university, see a certain doctor, live in a certain town, buy certain tv or computer? I would say that most of the things we do in life is because we trust the credibility of the person or institution selling us that product, etc.

@havock89 Believing in a higher power is reasonable, but conforming to a book written by man that is claimed to be the word of "God" is not. What makes Jesus more credible than the other messiahs? Please, do tell.

@doro69 Knowing God's nature, and knowing what he said regarding certain things, does not equate to knowing their Mind.

You either believe in a creator god or you dont. Its a self-evident reality for me. The atheisitic and pagan mentality fails logically. the catholic christian mentality doesnt fail logically. If you want to know for your self, go learn about it yourself. I am not being paid to teach cynics and skeptics.

@havock89 Yes you did, you just said what god expects from humans in the comments below. And how do you know that there is a god who's mind is infinite? How do you know it has a mind? How do you know that it's mind is infinite?

[havock89]

@doro69 I dont. Never said I did. God's Mind is infinite.

@adstanra

you said no mind could b implicated in the randomness of quantum physics or that of the human body.

you are confused about the mind of God. it is interesting to consider God attaching the oxygen to the hb molecule pushing along the blood cells in your body to get to the brain...

i see it as God creating the mechanisms behind these things to sustain themselves by the laws of physics - His mind on the other hand is that which allowed it to be.

@adstanra you said "no reason to believe your theory of contraception or that the church is inspired by divine power. it might be excellent human enterprise though"

adstanra, the theory of contraception is not ours but precisely yours.

[havock89]

@adstanra Sorry. You dont get to say that about me. You can assert all you want, but it does not make it true. Dogma = teaching. If the teaching is not logical, I would reject it. However with close inspection, the teaching is sound and flawlessly logical.

It is you who are reinterpreting church teaching into something other than what the apostles have passed down to us.
