Philosophy can make someone reaffirm his/her religious convictions. Does Santa Clause exist? The general public agrees he don’t but how can we prove it? These kind of questions can be applied to religion the existence of a higher being, God. How do we know it exist? Philosophy raises these kinds of issues. According to the argument of “principle of sufficient reason, everything that exists must have a reason that explains why it exists and why it has the properties that it does” (Lawhead 315). This principle justifies the existence of God, people can argue that there is reason for God’s existence therefore he exists.
