What is all this?

Kataphatic theology would describe God as ‘love’. The apophatic way would be to state that God is ‘not hate’; this seemingly polymorphic approach to understanding divinity is as old as philosophy itself.

In the end, the long-standing question remains: would it be better to live life believing that God exists, or would it be fruitful to deny the existence of God?

Answer to the former question is the holy grail over which an atheist and a believer in the Divine declare war on one another as they hurl bombs of conscious thought at one another using three weapons of mass destruction: knowledge, logic, and reason.

This blog is the battlefield.

“I was barked at by numerous dogs who are earning their food guarding ignorance and superstition for the benefit of those who profit from it. Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is of the same kind as the intolerance of the religious fanatics and comes from the same source. They are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who — in their grudge against the traditional “opium of the people” — cannot bear the music of the spheres. The Wonder of nature does not become smaller because one cannot measure it by the standards of human morals and human aims.”

— From the God Letter by Albert Einstein (3 January 1954)
