What reading level is The Problem of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
McTaggart, a universe in »This is amusingly illustrated by the anecdote of the man who was on his way to the river to commit suicide, but who promptly climbed a tree when attacked by a ferocious bull.
[122] OPTIMISM AND PESSIMISM which three people out of every five were in heaven and two in every five in hell might have a greater amount of happiness in it than of misery. But we should not on that account call the universe good.^ This brings out a fundamental antinomy which is troublesome enoug...h to make those pause who have a ready solution of the riddle of the universe. It seems indeed irrational and perhaps immoral for a man to pray (may he even hope. '^) for the wind to fill his sails when the same wind would carry his neighbor's bark away from its goal. And the world is doubtless more inter- esting and more prosperous with a hundred fleets sailing its seas than it would be if it con- tained only one lone and leaky vessel. Still, it seems to be asking too much to expect a man to pronounce the world good if his own life and fortunes are about to be involved in utter ruin, even if the rest of the world should not be a whit the less happy for it.
