As we are wont to understand by the term God not merely an eternal nature, the operations of which are insensate and blind, but a Supreme Being, who is the free and intelligent author of all things, and as it is this latter view alone that can be of interest to humanity, we might, in strict rigour, deny to the deist any belief in God at all, and regard him merely as a maintainer of the existence of a primal being or thing--the supreme cause of all other things.

 The positive value of the critical principles of pure reason in relation to the conception of God and of the simple nature of the soul, admits of a similar exemplification; but on this point I shall not dwell. These again have a still higher end--the answer to the question, what we ought to do, if the will is free, if there is a God and a future world. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. It is very remarkable, although naturally it could not have been otherwise, that, in the infancy of philosophy, the study of the nature of God and the constitution of a future world formed the commencement, rather than the conclusion, as we should have it, of the speculative efforts of the human mind. 
  • [*Footnote; The science of Metaphysics has for the proper object of its inquiries only three grand ideas; GOD, FREEDOM, and IMMORTALITY, and it aims at showing, that the second conception, conjoined with the first, must lead to the third, as a necessary conclusion.
 Now we must admit that the doctrine of the existence of God belongs to doctrinal belief. SECTION IV. Of the Impossibility of an Ontological Proof of the Existence of God. These unavoidable problems of mere pure reason are God, freedom (of will), and immortality.
