The philosopher, Immanuel Kant attempted to show how philosophy could prove the existence of God. Kant rejected the ontological, teleological and cosmological arguments for the existence of God but held that God's existence is a necessary presupposition of there being any moral judgments that are objective, that go beyond mere relativistic moral preferences; such judgments require standards external to any human mind-that is, they presume God's mind.
This is a powerful point of view, but assumes that humans are incapable of morality unless God exists. If we reverse that argument, we find that Kant, having rejected the ontological, teleological and cosmological arguments, leaves us no good reason to believe in the existence of God.

What kind of argument did philosopher Immanuel Kant use to justify the rationality of belief in God?
In his Kritik der reinen Vernunft Immanuel Kant intended to show that the pretensions of 'knowing reality' in general were groundless.Kant wrote that all our knowledge is relative to human perception and 'reasoning'. We 'see' reality as it appears to us through our senses (filters of perception) and 'thought'. So far Kant is defending 'cultural relativism'. Kant might have had 'moral' reasons to come to his tricky concluson: thereforethe only 'truth' is our selfmade 'truth'.Kant suggests that in the end only 1 selfmade 'truth' is behind 'human reality'. One might presume: 'rationalism', 'Kantian truth', christian logic..The Critique of Pure Reason should be understood as quasi mathematical description of a world based on Roman Christian supremacy (a priori). An a priori judgment is one whose truth is pure faith. Faith in 'rational' a priori is (inherently arrogant) called: 'understanding'apriori 1 used by the 'reasoning' Kant: God exists
