I am certainly no mental health professional or even a great student of the mind. But if I accept that there is a an intelligent creator who is the not the higher power but the highest power then I might ask why He created anything in the first place, then has he kept His purposes secret, then if not where can I find the answers, then what part do I play in God's purposes, what does He expect, demand of me?
If one has an ego fueled by worldly success then maybe one would prefer an atheistic philosophy that avoids all these hard question.
Just my thoughts.

Had to read it a few times, but I can only disagree on one point. God did not keep His purposes secret, and He did not conceal Himself from us any more than an architect is concealed from those that live in his buildings.

Gonzales’ Privileged Planet is an exploration of the Bible’s phrase of the heavens reveal Your glory.

In this physical life, all we are commanded to do is love the Lord and love thy neighbor as thyself. If we can pass this simple test, maybe God has much more in store for us. It seems He just wants us to focus on this simple task now, which some of us just can’t handle.
