“Why the question of God matters”

My latest weekly assault on goodness and reason in the pages of the Deseret News:

According to some of the commenters, I appear to be an apologist for theocracy who seeks to persuade poor and suffering people to simply endure their condition rather than to attempt to improve it.  And anyway, they write (as if I hadn’t written), after seven or eight decades of good, comfortable living, they’re satisfied with their lives.  No more is needed.

Sigh.
