Where is God, part 2

"We do not hear much about 'guilt' towards God. Modern human beings are not afraid of God any more—they rather shape him the way they want, if indeed they have not yet declared him to be dead. But at the same time people lift their accusing finger towards heaven ('Where is God?') and not towards themselves...Modern humans sometimes hardly know what prayer is; they have discussions about God, whereas the Old Testament believers cried out to God from their loss and pain."— Shadow Sides, pages 35-36
