How the Internet is Killing Religion

<p>"Far be it from me to the slur the Almighty. <em>Religion&rsquo;s going to die, but God&rsquo;s not going anywhere. He has nothing to fear from knowledge. All truth is God&rsquo;s truth.</em> Otherwise, it wouldn&rsquo;t be truth. <em>God is the author of reality. He holds it together. He&rsquo;s the reason there&rsquo;s something rather than nothing.</em></p>

<p>"So when religion&rsquo;s gone, what are we to do about God? Actually, I think we&rsquo;ll be in a better position to deal with God without religion. Religion just gets in the way, deluding us into thinking that we can apprehend divine matters. (Think &ldquo;hall pass for heaven.&rdquo;) <em>Finally, we won&rsquo;t have religion clouding our judgment. We&rsquo;ll be able to see clearly that we know next to nothing. The more knowledge we gain, the further we realize we are from the truth. Life is an obstinate mystery. Knowledge will help us kill religion, but knowledge is powerless against God, bottomless font of truth.</em> The ladder of knowledge doesn&rsquo;t lead to God. It leads to more questions."</p>
