God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been with God, even in my darkest hour. That is why I say I am alive. I mean, I should have died a number of times.
If we don't have God in our life, we're considered dead.
When you put your total faith in God, no matter what happens, to a person who's a true believer, if you die, you know you're going to heaven to be with God.
Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.
It turns out that the God whose word will stand forever does not exist to insure our fantasies that we will not have to die as individuals or as a species. Such a God, moreover, does not invite us to presume we can comprehend God's creation.
God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.
God isn't dead - he's just missing in action.
God was alive when this universe exploded into existence. He was alive when Socrates drank his poison. He was the living God when William Bradford governed Plymouth Colony. He was the living God in 1966 when Thomas Altizer proclaimed him dead and Time magazine absolutely absurdly put it on the front cover.
I believe that the day one stops being spiritual, one ends up being religious. I live by the adage that the only certainty in life is death. We should, therefore, learn to live for the day and be content.
When belief in a god dies, the god dies.
