Abstract

Would God's existence be a good thing for us? According to anti-theism, the answer is No. Probably, many theists will want to reject anti-theism. But it isn’t obvious why. After all, whether p is good for us is logically independent from whether p is true. So anti-theism seems entirely compatible with theism. In this essay, however, I argue this seeming compatibility is mistaken. If anti-theism is true, then the theism of most practicing believers is false. And if I am right about this, then anti-theism presents a serious challenge to traditional theistic belief, notably theistic belief anchored in the Bible.

反有神论的威胁：上帝价值论的利害关系是什么？

上帝的存在对我们来说是一件好事吗?根据反神论，答案是否定的。也许，许多有神论者会想要拒绝反有神论。但原因并不明显。毕竟，p是否对我们有益在逻辑上与p是否为真是独立的。所以反有神论似乎与有神论完全相容。然而，在本文中，我认为这种表面上的兼容性是错误的。如果反有神论是真的，那么大多数信徒的有神论就是假的。如果我是对的，那么反有神论对传统的有神论信仰提出了严峻的挑战，尤其是对以圣经为基础的有神论信仰。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
