There are no "back worlds" where God would stand
Keywords: God
Summary
If God and religions are true, this would presuppose an "afterworld" subsisting beyond the sensible world. It is in this world that God, angels, the souls of the dead, heaven and hell, etc. would exist. But there's no evidence of such a world - it's a pure invention.
Quotes
« First proposition. The reasons for calling "this" world a world of appearance, on the contrary, prove its reality - another reality is absolutely indemonstrable. Second proposition. The distinctive signs we have given of the true "essence of things" are the characteristic signs of non-being, of nothingness; from this contradiction, we have built the "truth-world" into a true world: and it is indeed the world of appearances, as a moral optical illusion. Third proposition. To speak of a world "other" than this one makes no sense, assuming that we don't have within us a dominant instinct to slander, belittle and hold life in suspicion: in the latter case, we take revenge on life with the phantasmagoria of an "other" life, a "better" life. »
