Only what possesses rationality can have the true nature of good and since the true nature of god is where the true nature of good is‚ one can only conclude that the true nature of god is rationality (Discourses 8:1).

I do not have any doubts—after pondering the arguments‚ the balance of evidence and argument has a definite tilt. Although I do not claim that the Mark Howard view of the rationality of God would make a compelling case for why someone else ought to believe‚ I now am better able to articulate an argument that provides something for them

As a result‚ it is not rational to agree with either perspective‚ as both perspectives lack facts and reasons—evidence—necessary to establish ‘rationality.’ Some people may find it difficult to prove the rationality of God’s existence‚ so they may propose alternate conceptions: pantheism and panentheism.
