Question and Consider

Can an intelligent and morally honest person accept theism's God without feeling doubt? Perhaps this is evidence of flaws associated with theism's image of God or our ignorance of a God -- a God who might not even exist. I have attempted to show on this website under the section entitled "Problems with the Theistic God" that in the very least there exists grounds for questioning theism's conception of God.

When Theism attributes a certain characteristic to God, it indirectly attributes a limitation or restriction in relation to other characteristics. For example, when one suggests that God is a perfect God, then one has to limit or redefine God's goodness in order to explain how it is possible that there is such devastating suffering in a world that God himself has created.

To question theism's view of God doesn't necessarily mean that one doesn't believe in God. One doesn't have to believe in theism's God much like one doesn't have to believe in the theologian's God.

We can't really know if God exists or not, but we can certainly have a conviction and from that conviction, select a faith. However, that view of God upon which that faith is based should not come into conflict with our common sense.
