    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Reason may not demand immortality; finitude could enable rather than prevent virtue's achievement and meaning within limited existence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Divine wisdom might intentionally transcend human reason's demands; God's revelation need not validate what finite minds declare rationally necessary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates what reason contingently values with what reason logically requires, smuggling preference into necessity without sufficient warrant.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Reason's deepest demand is that the highest good be achievable; mortality makes virtue's perfection impossible, so reason requires immortality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A perfectly wise God would not create rational beings with an inescapable rational need that revelation systematically frustrates or ignores.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Revelation's credibility depends on coherence with reason's necessities; misalignment would undermine faith's rational foundations entirely.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
