A Matter of Faith or Reason

A Matter of Faith or Reason

Whether one believes in God or not, a person must
have a reason for his or her belief.  There must be a
rationale, in some form, that supports the belief or
thought process which the individual has.  For example,
philosopher John Searle does not believe in God, arguing
there is not enough available evidence about how the
world works to justify such a belief. He does not believe
in the supernatural either, but holds that there is,
among intellectuals of the world today who have become so
secularized, a sense where the existence of God or the
supernatural would not matter as much as it would have a
century ago. He presents a logic as to why he does not
believe in God.
     Plato, on the other hand, presents his reasoning for
believing in God and/or the supernatural through Socrates
discussion with a religious fanatic shortly before his
trial in the "Euthyphro."  Euthyphro is a young,
zealously pious man determined to bring a lawsuit against
his own father over the death of one of their servants.
When Socrates questions the propriety of proceeding
against one's father, rebukes him, asserting that the
only relevant question is whether the killer has acted
justly. concedes that most people will regard prosecution
