Camille Paglia argues that religions are born out of human hope to quiet the raging of the elements, in fear and flight.
While it is true that the idea of \u200b\u200bGod is born in inferring the nature as a last attempt to justify human suffering, it is equally true that if you can justify the suffering of others, it is very difficult to do with their own. The image of a disaster is so staggering as understandable: it is accepted. As difficult as it is accepted that the cruel hand of nature has fallen on other human beings and have them crushed in a vise of pain and indifference, eventually a soft acceptance is to absolve us from unbearable thoughts of helplessness. "And 'the will of God."
E 'fate that a woman had cried all night her son died in a hospital infant resuscitation room, the predator devour its prey while still alive, screaming for meat torn, which invests a car dog and torn leaves on the roadside, that tomorrow the sun shine on someone and for someone else just a hint of cold tomb.
front of our suffering, however, such a belief is meaningless.
When we are the prey, when the disease consumes our flesh and forces us to struggle to escape its dark mouth, when the course turns our biological tissues in senile members and deprives us of vigor and strength, when nothing is as before, and a tremor of the body leaves you unable to stop decisions, we can not justify our decay, the decadence of the sordid matter. God turns his face expressionless as a judge on appearance Mask: marble and gypsum is distracted by the gaze, the expression of vague and indifferent child. Does not judge or condemn. It does not save. Ahead. Expects that the wind almost touches their own forms of statue, which mark the light and dark days and setting out the plans. Do not want to and not fear.
not hate and not love.
