“Faith, then, is not a set of beliefs about the world. It is rather found in the loving embrace of the world. Because the actual existing church has reduced the Crucifixion and Resurrection to religious affirmations held by a certain tribe, rather than expressions of a type of life, the event they testify to has been almost completely eclipsed.” WorldHas BeensCertainFoundBeliefChurchReligiousEventsExpressionTypeEmbraceResurrectionTribesAffirmationCrucifixion Book:The Divine Magician: The Disappearance of Religion and the Discovery of Faith Source: The Divine Magician: The Disappearance of Religion and the Discovery of Faith
“Historically the belief in heaven and the belief in utopia are like compensatory buckets in a well: when one goes down the other comes up. When the classic religions decayed, communistic agitation rose in Athens (430 B.C.), and revolution began in Rome (133 B.C.); when these movements failed, resurrection faiths succeeded, culminating in Christianity; when, in our eighteenth century, Christian belief weakened, communism reappeared. In this perspective the future of religion is secure.” WellsChristianReligionBeliefHeavenChristianityCenturyMovementRevolutionPerspectiveRoseCome UpSecureCommunismClassicRomeResurrectionUtopiaBucketsAgitationAthens Author:Will Durant
