Whats even more sad is to have a "faith" in a God that is always hiding his face from his believers.

In a story I posted before here :
Message 15610545

Campbell is pointing out to Martin Buber:

" I don't know what you mean by God...you
are telling us that he has hidden his face ,
nobody sees him today .....
Mr Buber, I have just come from India where people
are experiencing & looking upon the face of
God all the time...",


When you strip away the
veneer of some religions , they can be
some of the most nilhistic, threatening
and hopeless modes of living there is .

If they are based on the idea of being ---->cast out
And of being ---->exiled.
And nobody can see the workings of the Divine, etc.

Such Religions are outdated and will eventually
fade away , imo, and they are scrambling to re-invent
themselves even as we speak into the modern age .
