Question?

Question?

Sir,

Allow me to congratulate Veritas on his article setting out proofs of the existence of God. I imagine Junior Atheist along with, many others will now be obliged to admit the necesity to seek further knowledge if they are to carry the matter to its logical conclusion. To admit that God exists is not of course to identify oneself with any particular religion. But surely as our Creator it is necessary for us to observe His will by performing certain duties to Him. The question is: what are those duties? There seems to be some doubt and confusion as to their nature and extent in our community—supposedly a Christian community. What is necessary for a member of our community to do his duty to God? Do all these necessities follow a logical pattern or is it supplemented by [unclear: jgyperfluous] practicalities and [unclear: increduuos] feats of [unclear: cedulity] on the part of the believer? They are only necessary if they follow the pattern directly. Can Veritas follow his proof to a final conclusion or is he, too, another—

[unclear: Utiifled Christian.]
