Abstract

This paper sets out to critically examine the beliefs and practices that are used to seek divine presence in our era. We contend that seeking God’s presence is more effective than proving God’s existence in our era. Given the alarming rate of moral decadence in our society illustrated in its highest level by homicides around the world, we demonstrate the hypothesis of a frustrated “atheist” who actually becomes an “atheist” because he does not agree with the way “theism” is practiced today through amoral and immoral acts of dramatization of divine worship. Many people are pushed into “atheism” because they wish theism had a moral impact in our society of moral decadence. Hence, the moral pathway to divine presence is posited as a means to reconcile the frustrated “atheist” with what he considers to be genuine theism through morality.
