Existence of God

Article will review theories for and against the existence of God, as well as possible characteristics of a God or gods, if he or they exist.

Justness of an existent God

• if a just God does not punish, then how can there be justice in the world?
• ex.
  • if God does not punish sins against oneself or another
  • then that God could not provide for the needs or desires of other people, including
    • a person treated unjustly by the unpunished sinner
    • a person who loves the unpunished sinner and who wants the best for that sinner
  • i.e., a just God cannot treat all people arbitrarily
  • therefore, a just God holds all people to a common law or standard
