Is God Dead?

Tweet

Let me point out first that I personally don't believe that he or she is dead. But I feel that a shift in our perception of him/her is mighty necessary. I believe he/she is beyond our grasp. Our minds can only deal with opposites, it's either 'dead' or 'alive', and since we can't see beyond that it has to be one or the other. Let me give you another example, we can either imagine a single unit (1) or more units (more than 1). And here we go , since our minds can't visualize anyhting other than that, we, in our human arrogance, say that this is so, it's eiher 1 or more, dead or alive. We need a third option. It's impossible to prove that God is dead OR alive. I believe that when dealing with a question like that, we have to first of all admit our limited way of thinking, accept that the paradigms we have at our repertoire are very, very limited indeed. Can you experience God? I believe yes, but it takes work, through prayer or meditation. Does that constitute proof? Definitely not, one way or the other. I'd just like to hear some arguments hear from people who consider themselves atheists (and I say that with all respect.) How can you prove that something does NOT exist. And dear fundamentalists, please stay away from this post, I honestly don't want to be clubbed by the 'truth'.
