The sociological critique of religion has long argued that the word ‘god’ often signifies nothing more than a projection of the group identity of ‘his’ worshippers.
“What if the eternities are open? What if there is no set eternity to which we are heading? No teleology, as Bergson argued, to which life must aim. What if new emergences occur on the grandest scale of all and God Himself is participating in a dynamic and open existence?”
