Nietzsche's Belief In The Existence Of God

494 Words2 Pages

God is responsible for all of us because God created heaven and earth and was responsible for breathing life into the nostrils of man. It is hard for any individual that does not believe in God to try and prove otherwise to a strong believer.
1. The creator is not visible to his people for the sole reason that there needs to be a world where his creation can exist and where he can dwell. God exists in everything that people see and He is devoted to every creation because “For the creator must be a world for himself and must find everything in himself and in Nature, to whom his whole life is devoted” (Rilke 3).
2. God exists in every person’s life and heart and those that chose to believe experience his presence. “Man was created to see God. …show more content…

Friedrich Nietzsche claims that God is dead and we have killed him. This is an opportunity for something great because so much was built upon God as a foundation.
2. Atheist make strong cases when it comes to proving that God does not exist and it is all a creation of human imagination. The existence of God is a mystery to many that both believe in Him and those that do not.
3. There is no good reason for belief in the existence of God (Hanson 309). We don 't need these entities to explain the things that certifiably do exist -not as we do need force fields, anti-matter and quasars (Hanson 323).
1.The reason why it is hard to believe that God exists is the calamities that people have no explanation. “The lack of any conclusive, formal (deductive) proof that God does not exist provides no reason whatever that God does exist” (Hanson 310-311).
2. There is no need for God to prove that he is there becasue “God cannot be conceived not to exist. --God is that, than which nothing greater can be conceived”(Anselm 4).
3. On the other hand, the existence of God is in question because there is no way of proving that everything that exists is as a result of his magnificence. “If ‘God exists….. then the defeat of atheism would be analogous to the disclosure of mathematical error”(Hanson

    Modern Day Fools In Our Midst It is a serious charge to call someone a fool. When you or I call someone a fool, it is unlikely that we are referring to an objective analysis, like the person having a psychiatric disorder or subnormal intelligence, and therefore likely to be under special supervision. No, when we call someone a fool, it is usually a subjective opinion, someone with whom we may disagree, and may even abhor because we judge that person to be lacking good sense or sound judgment. To willy-nilly call someone a fool is dangerous, because first; it might be untruthful, and secondly, the person may be far more intelligent than you are, and you may not have the judgment to see that.

    Existence of God Lewis possesses a strong belief in God. He states that the human population consists of “the majority who believe in some kind of God or gods, and the minority who do not” (39). I agree with this statement because there are many people who have faith in God because their faith gives them happiness and direction in life. The belief in a higher Intelligence causes people to live on Earth with satisfaction. Lewis also argues that the scientific method cannot explain if God exists or not (58).

  • Analysis Of Friedrich Nietzsche's Criticism Of Religion

    1287 Words  | 6 Pages

    Although some passages in the second essay may point to atheism, I believe that, overall, his critique of religion seems to primarily stem from his animosity towards the way in which religious belief has manifested itself in society, rather than belief in God or religious belief as a whole. In the first essay, Nietzsche discusses the etymology of the words “good” and “bad” and how they have evolved over time to have completely different meanings, meanings that he does not agree with, due to the priestly class. Prior to this transvaluation, good meant noble and powerful while bad meant poor or common (Nietzsche, 28). The “good” were able to exercise their will to power and

    For this disputation, I had the pleasure of arguing against the topic of be it resolved that you can convince a non-believer to affirm the existence of God using philosophical arguments. As the opposing side, Sarah and I counter argued the following: the argument from motion, the ontological argument, Pascal’s Wager, the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the moral argument. The argument from motion argues that it is only possible to experience that which exists, and people experience God, therefore God must exist; however it can be counter argued that since faith cannot be demonstrated or experienced, as it is unseen, God cannot exist.

    The question that is asked time and time again is whether or not god exists. It is evident that people hold different beliefs. It is evident that through some of the beliefs of J.L. Mackie that it could be argued that God does not actually exist. I find this argument to be more agreeable. In Mackie’s Evil and Omnipotence, he argues many points to support why it should be believed that god does not exist.

That means if God is just a thought that does not exist, there must be a being greater than Him. This would contradict the definition of God. Therefore, God must exist so that the definition would be true.

The first step towards understanding Anselm’s argument is that one must first accept the fact that God is the greatest possible being. The second fact or point to note is that God exists in the human mind or understanding. The third point, step, or fact to accept is that if God exists only in the human mind, then God is not the greatest possible being (McGrath & OverDrive, Inc. 2001
