These two philosophies lead men to perdition.
The atheistic philosophy does great harm to mankind by making people believe that God does not exist and that they can immerse themselves in sense pleasures and materialism at will. They ignore the law of cause and effect and its consequences, of which reincarnation is the visible sign.
In the same vein, the philosophy of impersonalism or nihilism, which is widespread on earth, does just as much damage, because it falsely claims that God is an Impersonal Being, without form, only pure energy. For those who propagate it, God is not a person. They are also unaware that man is in reality a spiritual soul residing in a body of matter, and not the carnal envelope with which they wrongly identify, hence the illusion in which they are immersed. They are heading straight for the darkness, the illusion, and ignore it.
These two philosophies keep man in ignorance, force him to follow a dead-end path, and lead him to recurring, even perpetual suffering. This is why many people want to know why they suffer so much.
Their incomplete knowledge and limited intelligence are such that they lead astray all those who seek God and want to have access to existential truth. They have forgotten God and are unaware that the Lord, in His personal, primordial, original, infinite and absolute form, has a spiritual body whose form is that which He gave to man(*), but all of knowledge, bliss and eternity. He is the source and reservoir of knowledge, intelligence, wisdom and absolute power. His nature, all of infinite purity and absolute perfection, is unique, which is why He is the “Sommum Bonum”, the greatest.
