The consequential god

Society & Culture

The Consequential aspects of religion.
All of us have, from time to time, had personal and social issues with religion.
For a long time Australia was solely a Christian country, but that’s changing.
Social and community attitudes to religion and Christianity are changing.
Many of us have been brought up within some religious context, and like it or not it’s part of who we are.
The concept of God, Heaven, Life after death seem to be common theme is most religions, but when you look at countries like the USA for example one can see extremes in all sorts of social religious outcomes, in a country that is basically deeply religious (and not a religious fervour based on reason) but also has 65,000 homicides per year.
In Australia it seems that people are actually turning away from religion personally, but still maintain the cultural linkage.
Why is this so? What is the concept of god, why was god invented?
To discuss his life, experiences and thoughts we are pleased to welcome father Geoffrey Terry.
