REL 2001 Lecture : Honest To God NOTES
Document Summary
Robinson"s thesis we have to give up ideals of god being up there or out there or. In the heavens and instead realize that his being is grounded within us. Kingdom of god at hand refers to heaven and hell, god"s kingdom after death. Tillich whoever can understand the main point of life can understand what god is. Depth of god understands what real importance is. Robinson uses tillich to explain the depth of god, seriously rejects any talk of meaninglessness. Uses atheism to explain what christianity or religion would look like if you took out the organization, and all the extra fluff that no one needs but instead relies on. His purpose in using such language explains transitions from god being up there to god being out there and now to him just being not there . Need to change views about this, people who don"t are holding back progress for society.
