Reminder that "lust" in the bible means "desire".
>In many translations of the New Testament, the word "lust" translates the Koine Greek word ἐπιθυμέω (epithūméō),[2] particularly in Matthew 5:27-28:
>Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust (ἐπιθυμέω) after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
>In English-speaking countries, the term "lust" is often associated with sexual desire, probably because of this verse. However, just as the English word was originally a general term for 'desire', the Greek word ἐπιθυμέω was also a general term for desire. The LSJ lexicon suggests "set one's heart upon a thing, long for, covet, desire" as glosses for ἐπιθυμέω, which is used in verses that clearly have nothing to do with sexual desire.

The Tao Te Ching quite literally describes the nature of Christ and the Holy Spirit through at least 40-50% of its content

The fine tuning argument is a pretty good defense I think.

Given that we know the universe is contingent and has a beginning, what sounds more reasonable to you?

>An intelligent, necessary being created the universe to be suitable to exist and to support life

>there are just infinite universes and we just happen to be in the one that got everything right, even though infinity isnt even a real concept but a theoretical one
