      Ooh, I like it! I follow with none other than CS Lewis: "I believe in Christianity like I believe in the sun: not because I have seen it, but because I have seen everything else by it."

  5. Comment: I'm glad we've decided on Harry Potter; I was definitely pushing for it. Now we just need to decide what exactly we're going to do.

    Factual question: What example did Anselm use as 'proof' that God exists? (Painter)

    Discussion question: I think that it's interesting that Anselm argues that the fact that we have an idea of God must mean he exists. Would we think about God if nobody told us about him in the first place?

    Link: This link goes more into depth on Anselm. It's quite interesting.

    Discuss: Do you agree with Gaunilo of Marmoutiers position that the perfect island argument is absurd?

    Comment: I can't wait to discuss our mid-term project; Harry Potter is a good subject.
