Does God Exist
In Search of Truth: Navigating the God Debate in an Age of Relativism
In today’s world, where relativism and materialism often reign supreme, the question of God’s existence can seem irrelevant or even outdated. We’re told that truth is subjective, that there’s no ultimate right or wrong, and that the material world is all that matters. But deep down, many of us yearn for something more – a sense of purpose, a moral compass, a reason to believe that life has meaning beyond the here and now.
This blog page is dedicated to exploring the age-old debate about God’s existence. We’ll delve into the various philosophical and theological arguments both for and against the existence of a divine being. We’ll examine the evidence, weigh the counterarguments, and challenge you to think critically about these profound questions.
But before we embark on this journey, let’s address the elephant in the room: the prevailing societal attitude of relativism and materialism. These ideologies have permeated our culture, leading many to believe that truth is merely a matter of personal opinion and that the physical world is the only reality. But are these beliefs justified? Is there a difference between subjective truth (what I believe to be true) and objective truth (what is actually true, regardless of my beliefs)?
Join us as we grapple with these questions and explore the compelling arguments on both sides of the God debate. Whether you’re a believer, an atheist, or somewhere in between, our goal is to foster open-minded inquiry and encourage you to seek the truth, wherever it may lead.
