Opis: Why Does Man Exist? - Bell Arthur John

Excerpt from Why Does Man Exist: The Continuation and Conclusion of Whence Comes Man

"Supposing these answers to be accepted, other questions suggest themselves. We want to know why man exists. We want to know why God 'created' him. Did God desire that man should be good Is there any reason why he should be good If there be, then why does evil exist And there arises also the further question - that, supposing there be a good reason why man should be good, is goodness 'possible' to him If his 'character' be made for him, not by him, how can he be good, if his character, which he did not make himself, be not good Does his existence terminate at death Does he come into the world only for the sake of what he therein does - suffers - enjoys or is his existence continued lifter death Is that existence, if it be 'continued after death,' to be desired or to be dreaded Is the having been born a misfortune or a blessing What is the character of God Is He a Being to be feared - to be hated - or to be loved What are man's relations to his fellow-man What are man's relations to God-that awful Being whose power over us seems to be absolute and that last, most terrible of questions, Is man's existence owing to God's malevolence - to His indifference - or to His Love" - "Whence comes Man" (last page).
