Default Re: \"Faith\"

Ira Progroff, an American and disciple of Carl Jung, served in WWII in Germany. He learned of the book burnings there and knew that many of the books burned were bibles and other religious books. He wondered, 'what if all the religious books in the world were burned?'.
What would happen to religions? There would be no Bibles or Korans or Sutras to lean on. Well, the answer is that man would have to reach into himself and find the answers. He would have to create inspirational texts anew. He would have to become the prophet. In a sense, man would then really find God. He would find God in his own creativity.
