Meditation 3

throughout meditation 3, Descartes asks himself whether or not his thoughts can determine whether or no there is such a thing as God. In my opinion to cover his tracks on this touchy subject he states that he has trouble believing if there is such a thing as God, there is no way he could be a deciever in his eyes. But as the book progresses he even questions his own statements like in other parts of the book and wonders if there is God, maybe he could be a deciever.

it's almost like he is saying if god is real than he could decieve him. i think he's saying god can not be decieved but he and others can so there must be a god.

He seems to be confused about god's existance. At one point he truly believes in god and his creation of nature. Then he doubts if there is a god, can he be better than god and so on
