I have not gone into much greater spiritual, moral, and intel- lectual benefits a believer and Divine communities derive in their pursuit for nearness to God. These will be mentioned later, God willing. I wish to add further that I have not presented these gen- eral benefits of belief in God as evidence of existence of God. For if there were no God, then the argument that we should believe in Him simply because it is beneficial to do so would be meaningless. This discussion was only meant to emphasise that not only do we have a Creator and Master, but that believing in Him has benefits for mankind.
