God is „the absolute-relative, this-side-other-side, transcendent-immanent, all-embracing-all-pervading most real reality in the heart of things, in man, in human history, in the world,“ writes Hans Küng in his book „Existiert Gott?“. However, I did not read this sentence in his book, but in an article about so-called „immunization strategies“. There it was given as an…

Pride results from the denial of death. If I know about my mortality, how can pride exist?
