I wonder if as the traditional role of God and his home continues the religion and God are not as much dying as adapting. Pertaining to the holes, I'm also not sure that I agree with the presumption the death of good would coincide with some sort of "abandonment of morality". I do believe in any god suggested, suspected or claimed to existence by humans and yet I feel a strong comfort in my moral base. I don't think morality began with the began with the idea or discovery of God and I don't think it will end with God's death.
Is it not possible that with the absence of God comes resolution with death. An acceptance, instead of an uncertainty. The worst part about dying is not knowing when it's going to happen. The worst and best part about anything is the anticipation. What's to stop people from focusing more on their own life and their own wills and motivations without God to steer them.
For all we know our lives are actually the span of the Universe, or the universe is just a creation individual to each one's psyche.
It's Occam's Razor to the umpteenth power but I like to deal with hypothetical using the rules of the World I know.
I love the bullet in the back metaphor and yes everything in life seems to be spherical and a lot of things do end right about where they started.
When\how do you suppose\believe God was created and\or discovered?

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
