OK, one post at a time. Starting with the most recent. God is temporal. Causation exists in time. A cause and effect have a temporal relation. A timeless God is ...

Also, if you're a Christian or an atheist, feel free to talk about your beliefs and why they are so awesome too! ESPECIALLY. If you can do it in a ...
