Description
An essay about truth and faith intertwining. The preface lays the matter out, notes the futility of delusion, and notes that these themes have been covered by the author in other essays. Chapter 1 shows that it is impossible to prove faith by experimentation or disprove it by logic. Chapter 2 points out that truth is paramount over faith, hope and charity as cardinal virtues. The question of Job is considered, whether justified or not and reasons to justify or condemn it. I offer a theory of mine from times past. Chapter 3 shows that God cannot be the all in all that believers often describe him to be. Chapter 4 ponders whether God is good or evil. There is no evidence that he is good, only faith. The evidence that he is not good is abundant but not conclusive. Chapter 5 ponders whether God and Satan are effectively the same with the contention that they are, as a matter of responsibility. I take some jabs at Voltaire's justification for God's role in evil. I sum up with some attacks at current societal movements, and some hopes for a better world here and now.
