I believe that the second "Way" (Causation of Existence) is the "worst" way in Aquinas's five ways. The "Way" states that when things exist they are caused (created ) by other things. Then it goes on to say that there can not be an endless string of objects causing other objects to exist. This statement is purely contradictory!!!! In order for things to exist and be created by other things they must have an endless chain of events causing existance. (birth)
Sadly I cannot say there is a best in The five ways of Aquinas. I do believe in God but, he gives examples and information of what he thinks is true without providing a solid stable foundation or evidence of proof...If he did not contradict himself then I would be more on his side...

Jesus!
Killing for Jesus! Amazing the pain you cause in history in the presence and wanting of peace. Christianity is one of the most practiced religions in the world with the most brutal history of torture, burning at the stake, and forced convertion. This is quite contradictory to the teachngs of Christianity. Supposedly Christianity is all about peace and love torwards all. towards your enemies as well as your friends... So why did they burn people to the stake.????
Hitler....
Hitler... that evil guy that completely shook the world of the Jews in europe during World War 2 when we were saving private ryan. So many killed in this war. The Holocaust consisted of 1.5 million jewish children deaths. Just because they were Jewish. Its amazing the reasons why we persecute people for the color of skin they have, the belief/religion they have or there origins. It's suprising when you think of all the subliminal persecution that surrounds you every day. You persecute that goth in the back of your math class or make fun of that nerd in the bus... It's quite sad... but true...
