Answer 1

God is the deity believed by monotheists to be the supreme reality. He is believed variously to be the creator, or at least the sustainer, of the universe. [1]

Theologians and philosophers have ascribed a number of attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent. [1] These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early Jewish, Christian and Muslim scholars, including St Augustine, [2] Al-Ghazali, [3] and Maimonides. [2] Freud regarded this view of God as wish fulfillment for the perfect father figure, [3] while Marxist writers see it as rooted in the powerlessness experienced by men and women in oppressive societies.

All the great medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God, [3] attempting to wrestle with the contradictions God's attributes appear to imply. For example, God's omniscience implies that he knows how free agents will choose to act. If he does know this, their apparent freewill is illusory; and if he does not know it, he is not omniscient. [4] Similar difficulties follow from the proposition that God is the source of all moral obligation. If nothing would be right or wrong without God's commands, then his commands appear arbitrary. If his commands are based on fundamental principles that even he cannot change, then he is not omnipotent. [5]

The last few hundred years of philosophy have seen sustained attacks on the ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments for God's existence. Against these, theists (or fideists) argue that faith is not a product of reason, but requires risk. There would be no risk, they say, if the arguments for God's existence were as solid as the laws of logic, a position famously summed up by Pascal as: "The heart has reasons which reason knows not of." [6]

Altough a "god" is part of many religions in the world, it is mostly seen as a mere metaphor for an omnipotent power (which might control destiny, nature, a.o. - depending on the religion

Answer 2

The origin of St Valentine's Day goes back to 270 AD, when, so it is told, a Christian named Valentine was condemned to die on February 14. While he was in prison he restored the sight of the jailer's blind daughter, with whom he had fallen in love. The night before he died, he sent a poem to his love, signing it 'from your Valentine'. In medieval times, there was a romantic belief that birds chose their mate in February. Later, in the 16th century, an English custom borrowed from Roman times was the drawing of lots for sweethearts. As well as romantic messages, the person drawn received a present, usually of some value, such as a piece of jewellery. This custom continued until the end of the 17th century. In 1537 by Royal Charter King Henry VIII made St Valentine's Day official in England and since then the idea has spread. At social gatherings eligible gentlemen would draw lots bearing ladies' names on the eve of St Valentine's Day. Each man would wear his lady's name on his sleeve for days. It is thought the expression 'he wears his heart on his sleeve' comes from this custom.
