An Idea

[QUOTE=Mikal;115260]I could not agree more Prof! I guess the worldview is that God is dead...but not dead in my heart, maybe the only place to have God.

With this big meltdown concerning our collective loss of faith in Institutional Society, have you given it any serious thought how we should build bridges of understanding through it?? Just curious..

No just what you did, look inside yourself.

GOD is dead, in America, the Atheist won. No longer One nation under God now it's One nation under Greed.

At least it is less hypocritical.

When did God die ??

Addendum to REALITY:

There having to be the simplest
Something is natural, never the less;
And, also normal, but unguessed,
Surprisingly, is ever motion, not rest.

Ask your friend Nietzsche Greg. Hitler's favorite philosopher. The philosophy he used to justify the extermination of the Jewish people.


God is dead - Friedrich Nietzsche agonized quote from his work 'The Gay Science'

[Profpat]

It's well-known that after Nietzsche went insane for ten years before his death in 1900, his sister Elizabeth managed his literary estate and twisted his writings to support aggressive regimes such as Hitler and the Nazis. Some sources indicate that Hitler had one of Nietzsche's books, Thus Spake Zarathustra, issued to his soldiers. It spoke of the new age of truth in morality and power. William Shirir writes in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich that while Nietzsche was never anti-Semitic, Hitler basically saw what he wanted to see in Nietzsche's writings. "Hitler often visited the Nietzsche museum in Weimar and published his veneration for the philosopher by posing for photographs of himself staring in rapture at the bust of the great man."

But hypocrisy knows no ideology, it is an equal opportunity employer .

But at least the Holocaust was less hypocritical.

Compliments of the Godless philosophy:

[Graybeard]

The 'Holy Roman Empire' was Germanic and its history includes WWI and WWII ..... and the USSR bought it to an end .... and the USSR was godless ... and the USSR ENDED the Holocaust .....

You rely on the internet too much for 'fast facts'

Greg I'm sure I could show you some absolutely "giddy" pictures of the persecution under Lenin/Stalin and Mao, well what can I say. DON'T EVER FORGET.
