I've never really understood the cosmological argument for God's existence. Not because of the content, but because of the pointlessness of it.
Men of different faiths use this argument in support of their own deity. If arguments such as these prove the existence of a God, then imagine a Christian and a Muslim shaking hands in great jubilation, knowing all along that Space Daddy WAS indeed up there, and that the atheists were fools for ever doubting his/her/he-shes presence. Isn't there a glaring contradiction right there?
For all I know, that argument could support an ancient five-legged lizard as being the creator; if I believe in it, then it HAS to be the thing up there, right?
