The reason the very concept of God....

"The reason the very concept of God has become at once so impoverished, so thoroughly mythical, and ultimately so incredible for so many modern persons is not because of all the interesting things we have learned over the past few centuries, but because of all the vital things we have forgotten.  Above all, somehow, we have as a culture forgotten being: the self-evident mystery of existence...Human beings have never before lived lives so remote from nature, or been more insensible to the enigma it embodies.  For late modern peoples, God has become ever more a myth, but so in a sense has the world; and there probably is no way of living in real communion with one but not the other." -
