 abstract={The article aims to present philosophy of God by Mieszko Ciesielski. It shows Ciesielski’s own concept of moderate theism, which stresses the idea of self- annihilation of God. The paper emphasizes that this concept reconciles (integrates) classical theism and atheism. It shares the theistic belief that God is a personal and merciful being, existing in reality, and not only in human mind. At the same time, the plausibility of atheist orientation, that assumes non‑existence of God at present, is discussed. According to the assumptions of moderate theism, God – having created the world – ceased to exist. So God existed in the past, but is not eternal. He performed a merciful self‑annihilation, that is, committed the most radical self‑sacrifice for the benefit of man. The article also presents the ‘mercy‑based proof for the current non‑existence of God’, which is Ciesielski’s original contribution to contemporary philosophical reflection.},
