Match Point

Wouldn't it be grand if everything always turned out great, if good guys always won, if it never rained on anyone's parade? But life isn't like that, is it? Great plans go awry, good guys seldom win, and rain falls on parades.

What are we to make of that? What good is a God who can't get the little things right? Wouldn't we be better off in a purely naturalistic world?

Hardly! Without God, we would have no reason to think that life had any purpose besides its own continuation; we'd have no one to look to for guidance and encouragement; we'd have no recourse when life didn't make sense.

To be perfectly blunt about it, life would have no point. Disappointment itself would be pointless. And when you think about it, that's a pretty good point.

Match Point.
