Hakuna Matata Section 19 group anselm and Aquinas

We started by discussing how this reading was very different and kind of hard to understand. But also that it was refreshing to take a different perspective on the subject of God. We started discussing Aquanis's the idea that God was the end of the uncaused-cause idea. But how do we know that God is the cause? but as humans we all want an answer and an ending point. We started asking ourselves if we personally believed that there was a strating point. We then talked about Anselm's idea that because you have an idea of God means that it exists. To us this doesnt really make sense. Though Anselm did say that this only works for God because he is the perfect form of anything. We then talked about Aquinas's five ways that were meant to demonstrate that God exisits. We established that Anselm and Aquinas disagreed about how to prove God exist. Aquinas believed there must be a starting point. Anselm believed that because everyone has an idea of God means that he has to exist.
