Some people just can't handle it, they need the security of some kind of guidance from something or someone bigger than themselves.<br /><br />This kind of knowledge has to be taught from childhood on. It is better that way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578145425454731854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19963266.post-33538655022411973232012-11-30T14:39:21.363-05:002012-11-30T14:39:21.363-05:00I wonder how some people would react if their god ...I wonder how some people would react if their god was taken away from them..if somehow their eyes were opened, and they had to acknowledge that their beliefs were only beliefs.<br /><br />My guess is that a bunch of people couldn't take it, and the depression would be tremendous.Linda Norbyhttp://peachythings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19963266.post-69098833248316676662012-11-30T07:24:30.804-05:002012-11-30T07:24:30.804-05:00Lawrence Krauss' book, A Universe From Nothing...Lawrence Krauss' book, A Universe From Nothing may be the book to which you are referring. Blogging heads has a couple interviews with him on the subject. The book is a great read and is available on Kindle so can be highlighted and reread at will. Perhaps the most interesting section is his rather brief discussion of God in which he makes clear that having a God is not necessary in order to understand creation of the universe at this point. It is not so much that there is "no God" as that God is not needed for that explanation. Many of us also believe man capable of being moral without being coerced into that behavior by a God making It also unnecessary for morality. Ultimately, one must face up to the question, "Why do we need God?" At this point, I do not see any answer to that query so choose to not worry about whether or not It exists.Ed Hainesnoreply@blogger.com
