Working on yourself means cultivating the ability to see the beauty and the importance of others, then developing the desire and the will to serve them.😊

David could you please comment on this statement from Nicholas Berdyaev. I respect your insight. The act of creation must be free and not caused, otherwise there is no agential creation, just a “sequence of events.”

[@cvs-podcast]

It is actually an infallible dogma of the Church that everything that God does ad extra (meaning external to the inner life of the Trinity where, by contrast, everything is absolutely necessary and never contingent) is done freely. God is not a robot and creativity is only creative if it is free. The godless Atheists of today (when pressed) are forced by their absurd metaphysics (or lack thereof) to believe that they are apes with no free will; so they must see themselves as soft robots, ape automatons, or, as I call them, MonkeyBots. Creativity (including the free use of reason when philosophizing) along with other fundamental aspects of life such as value, meaning, dignity, love, and responsibility are all logically dependent on freedom. I hope this partially answers your question. I look forward to interviewing you one day, Lynda! calendly.com/cvs-podcast God bless ♥

[@HarryNicNicholas]

it's just an assertion "the act of creation must be blue with red stripes" exactly the same logic, exactly the same quantity of gibberish. "god did it" isn't going to tell us how to get cold fusion working.

@@cvs-podcast sorry but the church gets tons of things wrong, when you say "infallible" you make yourself look really stupid. atheists are individuals, we all have different ideas about metaphysics, making sweeping statements about atheists as a whole is as stupid as you are. you really ought to take a long hard look in the mirror cos you seem to be totally unaware that YOU are the reason people are no longer interested in religion.

david is an idiot, sorry but he will rot your brain. at least follow a christian who knows their ass from their elbow, this guy couldn't find his own bum.

Conventional wisdom is to distrust any idea until its been proven true beyond a doubt. Is that intelligent?

[@HarryNicNicholas]

well you don't have to go that far, you can have confidence without needing certainty, that's how we cross the road.

The scientist comes home, and his wife says, “Oh, I missed you,” and he replies, “Where’s the evidence? You can’t prove that. You didn’t miss me yesterday, so why today?
