Does God Exist?

Time Text
I turn the tables on the atheist and on the agnostic.
I say, wait a minute.
You ask me if when I look at human suffering, I ever doubt God's existence.
Fair question, answer, yes.
But I ask you, you the agnostic or you the atheist, you the irreligious, do you ever see human beauty?
Do you ever see the birth of a child and doubt your atheism?
Doubt your irreligiosity?
It's a very interesting thing in our world today.
The only people who are supposed to question themselves are religious people.
Irreligious people are never asked to challenge themselves.
Isn't that interesting?
You never hear that, do you?
You ever challenge your secularism?
Never! Never!
It's a non-issue.
If you believe in God, you're supposed to challenge yourself all the time.
Religious people, gee, they're brainwashed.
As if secular people aren't brainwashed.
I assure you that I had more openness to secularism in my yeshiva-closed world than there was openness to religion at your child's university.
The secular world is far more closed in America today and in much of the Western world today than is the religious world.
At least there are arguments given in both directions at most religious institutions.
Because they have to grapple with the secular challenge.
You never hear the secular challenge grappled with at Harvard or at Stanford or, for that matter, at UNLV.
It's just not an issue.
It's so taken for granted that God is a non-issue, religion is a non-issue, that people don't even bother making up intellectual arguments for it.
I think the intellectual arguments, the rational case for God, is stronger.
