On Preferring that God Not Exist : A Dialogue
Faith and Philosophy 31 (2):143-159 (2014)
Abstract
Recently a new question has emerged in the philosophy of religion: not whether God exists, but whether God’s existence is or would be preferable. The existing literature on the subject is sparse. The present essay, in dialogue form, is an attempt to marshal and evaluate arguments on both sides.Author's Profile
