In all honesty, it’s plausible to say that since the beginning of mankind, some humans have never believed in a God while others have worshipped him wholeheartedly. It’s also plausible to say that even in today’s society; we witness a variety of believers and non-believers with a varying image of what they call ‘God’.
You will always see a man on a street corner of downtown attempting his best to preach his form of biblical interpretation, while pedestrians try their best to ignore and not make eye contact. You also have people on a daily basis claim faith to one religion, yet commit the actions unlike of said religion, while according to statistics, the amount of people who actually identify with any given religion in today’s society, never do. (Decline in religion-specific people and an increase in atheism)
In this sense, when compared throughout the past 200 or so years, it’s safe to say that the idea of a ‘God’ has diminished, especially with the advent of higher scientific beliefs and experiments, rather than changed in perspective. However, every single viewpoint of a God still exists today just as it did millenniums ago throughout various religions, societies and specific human beings in general. Attempting to claim a single viewpoint for the entire mass of society would be inaccurate.

ReplyDeleteI agree. Probably because most people see those scientific advancements at contrary to their religious beliefs.
