Document Summary
Indeed theistic religion claims to place before us options of the greatest importance, so that if it is true the world is far better than if it is not. If theism is true there is a benevolent supreme being governing the universe, the following eight theses are true: We have a satisfying explanation of the origin of the universe. (i. e. , not the product of chance and necessity in an impersonal reality) God loves and cares for us secularism lacks this sense of cosmic love, and it is, therefore, no accident that it fails to produce moral saints like jesus, st.
