The Existence of God Song

This morning I was thinking about doing a post about the existence of God, but couldn't find a good hook. Naturally, I did what any sensible person would do, called up Thomas Aquinas and Julie Andrews, and said "I'm trying to come up with a good blog post; can you help?" So, they put their heads together, and this is what they came up with:*

                Let’s start at the very beginning

                A very good place to start

                When you read, you begin with ABC

                But where to begin in Theology?

               

            Don’t ask me!

               

                We start with the fact that we happen to be

         
          That’s Philosophy!

               
               I know it is; just work with me!

               

                I, I am, I know I am

                But there wasn’t always me

                The same is true of everything;

                It is, but doesn’t have to be

                But something had to have to be

                Or else existence would be odd 

                Something exists necessarily

                It is that that we call God!

                I, I am, I know I am

                But, I didn’t make myself

                Everything that is was made

                And every cause has an effect

               

                But this can’t go on eternally

                And effects cannot exceed their cause

                A perfect prime mover must be

                And it is that that we call God!

                I, I am, I know I am

                And I know it’s good to be!

                I call things good and evil

                And can recognize beauty

                But, if there’s beauty and justice              

                And I can call things bad or good

                A perfect standard must exist

                It is that - that - we - call - God!
