Whether one believes in God or not, a person must
             have a reason for his or her belief. There must be a
             rationale, in some form, that supports the belief or
             thought process which the individual has. For example,
             philosopher John Searle does not believe in God, arguing
             there is not enough available evidence about how the
             world works to justify such a belief. He does not believe
             in the supernatural either, but holds that there is,
             among intellectuals of the world today who have become so
             secularized, a sense where the existence of God or the
             supernatural would not matter as much as it would have a
             century ago. He presents a logic as to why he does not
             Plato, on the other hand, presents his reasoning for
             believing in God and/or the supernatural through Socrates
             discussion with a religious fanatic shortly before his
             trial in the "Euthyphro." Euthyphro is a young,
             zealously pious man determined to bring a lawsuit against
             his own father over the death of one of their servants.
             When Socrates questions the propriety of proceeding
             against one's father, rebukes him, asserting that the
             only relevant question is whether the killer has acted
             justly. concedes that most people will regard prosecution
             of one's father on behalf of a hired hand as the height
             of impiety, but he insists that he understands the will
             of the gods more plainly and precisely than most. This is
             the presumption that Socrates questions in the dialogue,
             and defeats. That same presumption that one person knows
             more about the will of the gods is an issue that must be
             examined in the larger question of whether faith in God
             is a matter of faith based on reason or on reason alone.
             One can only determine one's own level of faith
             based on the reason that most coincides with his or her
             own belief of what reason is and what reason is not.
             Therefore, the acceptance or the adherence of a belief in
             God is independ...
