ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the question of whether it is rationally defensible to be a religious theist. It describes the circumstances under which it is rationally defensible for some person to fill each and all of these conditions. One's conception of God as the Supreme Person might logically conflict with one's conception of good and evil. Suppose for instance that one maintains both the notion of God as the "Supreme Person" yet at the same time one conceives of that which is impersonal as better than that which is personal. God is conceived as the primal, foundational, and ultimate being or reality. God's supremacy involves a certain set of metaphysical features or properties. Regardless of whether one adopts the standard or alternative conception of God's ontological status, another rather different objection against the notion of God as a person concerns the issue of immutability.
