It's interesting that you make a distinction between nature and god. I'm not up to scratch anymore as far as catholic dogma is concerned, but according to many christians, nature is god's creation and since they believe in a perfect god, nature has to be perfect too.
Not my belief obviously, but the impression I'm getting from reading christian arguments.
Well then people would have to be perfect too, lol. And we all know that's not true.
Never seen that argument before.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
