I was walking at Stanford's Neiman Marcus' make up section and overheard the make up girls talking...
they were apparently having theological conversation and reached the conclusion that
based on their collective knowledge
Jesus must have been the son of god; not, god himself.
Awesome....I love moments like that. I hang around listening to their chatting till Mayra found the correct shade of foundation.
Today I finished "the Stranger" and it got me thinking about existentialism and how important
it was for intellectuals from Camus' period to spread the idea that there is neither a god or higher powers,
I guess they really believed that once freed from the illusions of after-life,
and "higher power" controlled earthly existence
people would thrive and find true happiness.
Perhaps existentialism succeeded. People don't go to church. Proof of that they don't know who Jesus was.
Now what?
I wonder if Camus would just sit back and relax and wait for humanity to thrive.
I believe in after life,
so he will have the eternity to wait.
(don't get me wrong, I loved the book but I just don't think letting people know there is no god is a good thing...
people believe in what they need to believe and thrive accordingly)
