Natural theology: Theism or antitheism?
Sophia 36 (1):75-83 (1997)
Abstract
I propose that reasons advanced in support of theism serve just as well, or can be modified to serve just as well, as reasons for believing that there exists a wholly evil supreme being. Accordingly, I suggest that attempts to justify theism are futile, since all would-be success is neutralized by the corresponding support that is thereby provided for antitheismMy notes
