Is God actually dead? A curious speculation from a polytheist perspective. If gods are born, live and can die, and if Cretans don´t always lie, then perhaps the secularization of the West means that the Biblical God is...dead? That is, he literally died around 1945 or so! Not sure what to make of this, frankly...
Surprised there are no comments on this. Another well composed post from JMG. Fascinating and way over my head, it will take me a few re-reads to get even a toe into the water. Read many of the comments attached to JMG's blog, and find I am as confronted as anyone with a new and unexpected landscape. Good post, thanks! Oh, and recommend (again?) The Founding Myth (Andrew Seidel) for an evaluation of the whole religion in politics issue here in USA.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes JMG intriguing is that he can go on and on and on about the same stuff for like 10 years, and then suddenly jump into uncharted waters!
