Under God - An Essay on Existentialism

The existence of man seems inextricably tied to God and religion. Is our role in life to live and die at God's will without knowledge of God's plans? We do not choose to live, yet are chosen only to die with a partial knowledge of the meaning of life. Man is bound to a God that he previously created out of paranoia, optimism, insecurity and anxiety. Armed with moral knowledge about an immortal and infinite God, how can man survive with only one life? This existentialist essay explains the meaning of life through the History of Western Political Philosophy.
