encourages us to view our personal misfortunes as relatively unimportant in the broader perspective of human history or even as a part of an undisclosed divine purpose. Friends and relatives of the deceased college student may see his death as being “God’s will‚” or as having some ultimate benefit that we cannot understand now. The existence of God is necessary for social change and social control. In most cases a belief in God gives life more meaning. Most of human history has been about survival
