God is Dead, Love, One…
Why is it that most older religions are polytheistic and most newer religions are monotheistic? Could it be the collective unconscious slowly moving towards the concept of the unity of everything? In the past most people believed in many gods, now most people believe in one god. I think pantheism is probably next. That’s just taking the concept of god to a whole new level. Of course this isn’t a new idea, but it’s certainly not mainstream.
In a slightly related topic, I recently read a great short story by Isaac Asimov called The Last Question. You should check it out because it’s really good, he’s a very clever person and he describes the cosmic evolution of humanity brilliantly. It leaves me with the question: is our purpose here to create god?

I definitely wouldn’t mind a world with a unified concept of God. It would be nice to be able to relate to every other human on even the most basic spiritual level.
Do you know if that story is free online anywhere? If so could you pop of a link? It’s a good question, and worth exploration.

Good story. Gives me a weird sense of deja vu.

we were “put here” to get drunk and drive through the back wall of our garage.
