Hume- Miracles
Miracles = violations of nature?? I believe Hume is trying to say that when you pray to God.. you are asking him to change the natural pattern. I feel that Hume is contradicting himself here. When Hume discusses the concept of God.. he says that God cannot exist because of the imperfect world that we live in. In my earlier post, I discussed how Hume views God. Hume does mention that their is no God.. but yet he is telling us that by praying to God to make our lives better, its a violation of nature.. Its kind of like a no win situation with Hume. God does not exist due to the imperfect world that we live in.. so by praying to God to make the world better would not help either because the imperfections in the world is what causes him to believe that their is no God.

Yeah, I guess HUme just does not want to beleive in God. IT seems like nothing will convince him either. At any angle where I could put some faith into believeing in a God, Hume shoots it down...I don't think Hume was very popular with these outlooks..
He definitely is not. Every conclusion that Hume brings up, he almost finds a way around them to completely contradict himself in the question of God.
