What Torah Says About
Man’s Moral Duty
What is man’s moral duty toward God and toward his fellow man?
Let me begin this topic by stating outright that I do not believe there is any such thing as a true “atheist,” one who is truly convinced that God does not exist. First and foremost, one has to think about God — a lot — in order to arrive at, and continue to hold, the opinion that He does not exist. I believe that a person who says that he (or she) does not believe in God because His existence cannot be scientifically proven to that person’s satisfaction is actually an agnostic, one “without knowledge” of God. The remainder of those who claim to be atheists, I believe, fall into one of two categories. Either (a) they know that God exists but He has allowed something to happen that the person did not want to happen, so that person is actually angry at God for failing to bend to that person’s desires; or (b) the person knows that God exists, but because of pride refuses to acknowledge His authority over his life (as the archangel Lucifer did), and since judgment is certain, the person simply choses to define God out of existence. See also “The Existence of God.”
