Colin, I was thinking of Don Cupitt and his followers, and there are
more of them within the Christian church than they will ever admit in
public. I attended some of his lectures and heard him say explicity
that he doesn't believe in god, and nor do many priests. He sees god
as a "metaphor" as he puts it, a human creation. Cupitt is not just
an academic - he was ordained in 1959.
I think he is probably right too. God is pretty much an inevntion of
mankind, 'made in man's image'. I do not tho belive that there is not a
Supreme Being or Force or whatever. I don't belive this is all an
accident. I believe we are much more than we can imagine and that life,
the universe and everything is much more than we can imagine. I cannot
orove any of that of course but that is what i think for now.
