    worldview of H. J. McCloskey. Although I respect his worldview‚ and understand his reasoning behind it‚ I also disagree with it as well. McCloskey’s views are one of an Atheist. I am a Christian‚ and consider myself a theist who believes in an all-powerful God. The Existence of God In my opinion‚ I believe that McCloskey’s arguments against the existence of God is somewhat biased. By biased I’m inferring that his argument is a one-sided view that attempts to provide proof that God doesn’t exist based

    The author H.J. McCloskey exposes in his article "On being an atheist" several arguments to have the reason on the atheism‚ which uses as a source of justification the decision of presentations made by people who support the existence that everything was created by a Creator (God). Objections begin as a means of arguments called summary evidence and indicate that God exists by providing security. The focus is based on real elements and events.

    The Evil in Good “The archetype is a symbolic formula which always begins to function when there are no conscious ideas present‚ or when conscious ideas are inhibited for internal or external reasons.” In other words‚ an archetype is the original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are copies or representations. A Jungian archetype is a thought pattern that finds worldwide parallels. We have unconsciously molded specific traits to specific characters and turned them into “archetypes”

    Atheist‚ H.J. McCloskey attempts to refute the arguments of God’s existence and explain how “atheism is a much more comfortable belief than theism.” (McCloskey 1968) He first attempts to discredit the Cosmological and Teleological arguments for God’s existence‚ then he turns to the existence of evil as “proof” that God does not exist‚ and finally closes his article back where he began- claiming that atheism is a more comforting belief than theism. Here I intend to explain how McCloskey is incorrect

    realistic than theism. He mentions the evil that is in the world and how it doesn’t make any sense to find comfort in a God that purposely causes pain‚ disease and natural disasters. McCloskey also mentions it is unreasonable to live by faith in this world. In this article‚ he argues the three theistic proofs including‚ the argument for design‚ the teleological argument and the cosmological argument. In order to add illusive power to his argument‚ McCloskey uses the work “proof” rather than “theory

    question the existence of “God”. Whether these questions are formed in support or denial of an omnipresent creator they are important in helping shape our morality. H J McCloskey and his article “On Being and Atheist” is very critical of theists. It thus presents several arguments on how believers are incorrect in their belief in “God”‚ cosmological and teleological. McCloskey also focus’s on the existence of evil and how one can find comfort in atheism when facing evil. Firstly to examine McCloskey’s

    The Existence of God and Evil The problem of evil has been around since the beginning. How could God allow such suffering of his “chosen people”? God is supposedly all loving (omni-benevolent) and all powerful (omnipotent) and yet He allows His creations to live in a world of danger and pain. Two philosophers this class has discussed pertaining to this problem is B.C. Johnson and John Hick. Johnson provides the theists’ defense of God and he argues them. These include free will‚ moral urgency‚

According to McCloskey‚ proofs do not necessarily play a vital role in the belief of God.  Page 62 of the

    Augustine God Is Evil

    Christianity‚ God is all good‚ omnipotent‚ omnipresent‚ and omniscient. So‚ why did this good God let there be evil (Augustine 121)? It starts with free will. God gave humans free will to love Him and to do good. According to the Adam and Eve story‚ Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit so that they could be like God. They were prideful and acted in a way that did not live up to their full potential for good and thus‚ there was evil. Now‚ that is not to say that Adam and Eve are the source of evil‚ but
