As the shock value of Ben's last blog resonates in your ears/eyes i wanted to comment on this current position in our lives and really just contribute my 2 cents into the pot.
God himself isn't dead.
God is alive and well, who that God is, however, may have changed. This theistic God that has become such a crutch for me has been removed. The God that i can define with the words "Loving, comforting, protecting, father...... etc." has been violently removed from under me causing a hard fall on to the floor of uncertainty. What kind of God can we define so easily and so readily and box up so well that there is nothing to question? As Ben mentioned in his previous post, who's to say the 'God" we christians know is nothing more than a super image of us that will ease any discomfort we feel.
For me to come to this point has been a hard battle through fear. Fear that i actually will find out i have been wrong, or fear that God will strike me down to hell as i ponder.
I dont really "know" much theses days but i do know i'm in a spot that will lead to something better.
