Our minds were built to function with the assumption that the good almighty God exists.
To dismiss God from our perspective of reality leaves us much like the man Frederich Nietzche described:
Whither is God?” he cried. “I will tell you. We have killed him—you and I! All of us are his murderers! But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? And backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning?” [Gay Science, Book III, Section 125]
It is impossible to live happily while thinking that there is no God. Any hope for the future, or any sense of genuine meaning comes only if God is there and if He is good. This is how we are built to think.
If we have been built to assume that the good almighty God exists, then perhaps the One who made us knew something when He designed us. Perhaps He is the good almighty God we crave to know and to trust.
