"The only theism worthy of our respect believes in God not because of the way the world is made but in spite of that. The only theism that is no less profound than the Buddha's atheism is that represented in the Bible by Job and Jeremiah"

Walter Kaufmann's quote presents a nuanced viewpoint on the nature of faith and belief in God. He challenges the conventional concept of theism that sees evidence of God's existence in the style and order of the world. Rather, Kaufmann proposes a theism that is good precisely since it persists in spite of the world's turmoil and suffering.

Kaufmann first acknowledges a dominating conception of theism, which finds peace of mind in the natural world's beauty and order as evidence of magnificent workmanship. However, he argues this perspective is not the most good form of faith. Instead, he presumes that a more profound and resistant form of belief is one that exists irrespective of empirical evidence or the world's obvious design. Such theism doesn't lean on nature's marvels to justify faith however acknowledges and persists in the face of life's intrinsic difficulties and evident injustices.

In drawing a parallel with the Bible's figures, Job and Jeremiah, Kaufmann underscores his point. Job's story is one of immense suffering where faith is evaluated not by natural happiness however by mysterious adversities. His belief in God isn't due to the fact that the world is ideal; rather, it's a faith that sustains regardless of his world being rife with suffering. Similarly, Jeremiah prophesied in times of chaos, keeping his belief despite the decay and ruin surrounding him.

Kaufmann's contrast to Buddha's atheism is particularly striking. He suggests that this variation of theism is as profound and deeply contemplative as Buddhism's technique to divinity or the absence thereof. Buddhism typically acknowledges the absence of a personal deity and rather focuses on the inherent suffering of the world and the path to transcendence. Kaufmann indicates that a theism which perseveres amidst life's trials, without dependence on a purchased universe, holds a philosophical depth parallel to the introspective and accepting nature of Buddhist believed.

In essence, Kaufmann commemorates a type of faith that reflects maturity and resilience-- a belief that doesn't demand evidence of magnificent existence through worldly order but flourishes on a much deeper spiritual introspection and approval of the magnificent in the middle of chaos.
