FRANCISCO S. TATAD
NOT all my friends are firm believers, and one of them has asked me, in the spirit of the season, to explain to him why one should believe in God. Does anyone need God at all? This goes far beyond the question of the atheist, who does not believe in God; were that the only question at bar, I would have simply gone back to St. Thomas’ Summa Theologica or Joseph de Torre’s Christian Philosophy and dug up the Angelic Doctor’s five ways of proving God’s existence.
