The argument from motion/efficient cause in St. Thomas Aquinas' five ways to prove the existence of God.

A few other noteworthy proofs I approve of are the following: The ontological, Leibnizian cosmological, transcendental and contingency argument for the existence of God. Most arguments for the existence of God do work, but few are readily salient for most skeptics. Because of this, I like to purport the argument for the existence of God from motion due to how well rounded it is; for it's both salient and forcing, unlike the ontological argument which is forcing but not salient.
Above everything, I am a Christian, so anything that best approximates the advancement of Christian ideas like virtue and the gospel I am in favour of. Given my idealist disposition, I would consider myself to be socialist sympathetic, whereas for non-economic/social manners I am resolutely right wing/conservative. Because of my Christian faith, I believe that there are some things to which a person or society should never compromise; and of those things being ideas higher than life; namely things like truth, beauty and goodness.
If one believes that goodness is itself good, one must be convicted to never wager on goodness.
Because structurally speaking, the empiricist epistemological framework can't account for any coherence of data. How can one distinguish one point of data from another without something intrinsic within oneself that one can judge it against?
Because of this question, my mind is narrowed down to believe that we possess a priori knowledge of perfection which we use to judge things against; and from perfection to the forms, for forms are inherently unchanging and therefore perfect in accordance to their respective identity.
The benefits you gain by denomination, are typically drowned out by a stubborn spirit that is contrary to both good politics, and the example of the Samaritan [Luke 10:30-37]. With that being said, I am Lutheran and Roman Catholic sympathetic.
