In the essays of this book, the author continues his writings generally contemplating philosophy from the perspective of working class struggle in Technological Society and arguing for nihilism as the only sound morality for such struggle. Specifically in the essays of this book, the author deals with practical and specific questions of theodicy: what is the meaning of the word "God"; can this concept include attributes of love, hate, will, justice, fairness, and morality? Though some of these questions and answers build on the author's prior work such as "Existential Philosophy of Law"; "Existential Meta-Ethics"; and "Nihilism's Epistemology"; the essays stand on their own and have their own contemplative value.

The author was born in Yugoslavia in 1958. As part of the Italian Exodus of ethnic Italians escaping from communism across the border into Italy, he and his family eventually emigrated to the United States in 1963. As the first English literate member of his working class family, he was the first to graduate from high school, then served six years in the US Submarine Force, and then was the first to graduate from college at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After graduating from Harvard Law School, he practiced trial law as a solo trial attorney for 25 years and then graduated from NYU with a Masters in Interdisciplinary Studies. He is presently pursuing further graduate work in philosophy at Boston College.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2021
All nine of Diviacchi's books on philosophy are outstanding. Individually and together, they offer a profound and coherent point of view that far surpasses the pinched range of acceptable opinion in extensity, profundity, coherence, and value. I disagree with the premise of this book; i.e., I do not believe that God does hate the poor. Nonetheless, I still highly recommend this book because it presents such a lucid, intelligent, and well-imagined alternative point of view.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2021
Dr. Valeriano breathes new life (like a god) into his neomarxist nihilistic 'neology'. The underlying conception of God suffers problems shared by most Christian theologies of an omnipotent creator god. Theodicy is not problematic for Hindu believers in Siva, creator and destroyer, or Buddhists who reject creator gods altogether. But the Torah prescribes a jubilee year to free slaves and forgive debts. Yet the poor and enslaved are still among us. The parable of the laborers, however, [noted in the Paschal homily of St. John Chrysostom] is about God's equal mercy, redemption and salvation. Diviacchi's observation concerning an emergent class division between WFH [work from home] and "field" service providers (p. 70) is prophetic. New York just legislated contentious payments of up to $15,600 each to unemployed illegal immigrants (field service providers) to be payed for by WFH and other taxpayers. Why Does God Hate the Poor? adds another pillar to Diviacchism. I look forward to reading my hardback edition of Social Apostasy and Agnosia.
