4. it creates news for the media which increases jobs for the media
5. terrorism could also kill future evil leaders

The Cosmological Argment is Sound

Vulpes_Inculta
Magic8000

Ave.

Soundness means that the premises of the argument are true, and that the conclusion follows logically from the premises. God is defined as the timeless (therefore beginningless), immaterial, spaceless, omnipotent, and p...
