In regard to philosophy (now that we're on the subject) I am going to have to disagree with Descartes in regard to God (as do most philosophers these days). While his cogito ergo sum by itself is "proved with a flourish of trumpets" that in no way means that because I think of God he exists. He may exist in my imagination, but until I see him with my own two eyes I am going to have to refrain from believing in him outside the mental realm. I make a point not to believe something just because it sounds good. But that is my preference.
Thank you for your comments.

oh wow....lol....ooooookay

okay, sorry, i don't mean to laugh, as it seems to belittle you....but, that just made me laugh....

um, well, we'll just start with this.....you are aware of the "metaphysical" right?

and just for the record, Descartes' "cogito ergo sum" was used to prove God's existence, and although you are correct, the logic doesn't have much sway in philosophy these days (for, Descartes truly provided this in his essay so as to appease the tyranical church at the time and escape bein' labeled a heritic and burned alive); the idea has been adopted and molded into virtually every style of philosophy today....being that Descartes is the father of "modern philosophy" and all......

but, like i asked earlier, the metaphysical? you aware of it yes?
