There is no God!
There is no God!
Hans-Peter Dürr: There is no God. God is a symbol for something what we cannot express in words. That’s why there is also no God’s religion. We have to imagine that God is something that is not a nescience, but something that is generally beyond our knowledge that has no quality of being known. It’s like when we pose a question:
what is the colour of a circle? Is it red, green or blue?
No, it’s neither blue, nor red, nor green. It’s also not colourless. The question about the colour of a circle is absurd, because a circle knows no colour. Many of us cannot understand it. They take a pen out of their pocket and draw a circle on a piece of paper and say:
„look, this circle is blue, isn’t it?“
Yes, the circle drawn by us is blue, but the colours come from our pen and not from a circle. The colour of a pen is the religion, with which we express the divinity, but we cannot draw the circle ourselves. It is something that has nothing to do with colours. And there are so many religions as colours, with which I can draw a circle.
