Rather to escape the ecclesiastical prosecution than for the sake of metaphysical
necessity Descartes postulates God as he does in his system – even if
Descartes’s reason for postulating God at the top of his doubt is rational it
is nevertheless not what he actually experiences, that for his being to think
only existence is required. God is superficial here so far. Beyond the being
that thinks however is the world one wants to calculate and measure, to create
the world by means of technology. An operation that cannot be undertaken by
experience and ultimately intuition – it requires science, notably mathematics.
Somebody must nevertheless guarantee the existence of physical laws that allows
for a scientific examination of the world, for human technological creation. As
for Kant God is merely needed to guarantee freedom and not our metaphysical
knowledge Descartes is yet an Aristotelian in supposing the world to be created
by the transcendent god. But the god of physical laws is miles away from the
god of Christian eschatology. Therefore, and also by learning to know rather
than to believe, like Aristotle, Descartes was not a Christian. Descartes’ god
fools you to think. A god almost impossible to tell apart from the drive that urges
one to want to know.

want to believe
Incredible how the following words after thousands of years still manage to make a statement against despotism of institutionalized belief, religious or other forms of ideology:
"I do not want to have faith in any truth of which I am told as long as I am able to know what I want to believe and not and doubt again and again on the top of it all."

Don't like
The absence of possibility not to like at the popular f...book makes people like whatever they otherwise would never consider to like.
