You are wandering alone in a vast and unfamiliar labyrinth. It is pitch black: you have no light to guide you, none at all, except that provided by the flickering and weak flame of the small candle that you carry. You are guarding this flame jealously as you tread your cautious and faltering steps. A man suddenly appears out of the gloom ahead of you. This man tells you that which you already know only too well, that your candle is a small one and its flame dim. Then he suggests that, in order to find your way more easily, you should put it out entirely. What would you say to him? It will be handy to have a generic term for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and, as the name of the conception of God that they share is usually referred to in the literature as the ‘theistic’ conception (from the Greek word for ‘God’), so I’m going to call Jews, Christians, and Muslims simply ‘theists’. So, my first question will be this: What does a theist mean when he or she says, ‘There is a God’? |
