		Matthew asked:
		Would Hume agree with Descartes that God must be the cause of my idea of a perfect being? why or why not?
		============
		No. Because Hume would not have agreed that anything mustbe the cause of anything. (In fact Hume wrote that so far as we can know a priori (without any evidence) anything might be the cause of anything else.) And, of course, all of our evidence tells us that it is man who is the cause of all his ideas including that of God.
