August 20, 2023 Atheism: Benefits and Pitfalls
Manage episode 376053512 series 2833483
"""“ Do you believe,” the disciple asked the Rabbi, “that God created everything for a purpose?”
“I do,” replied the Rabbi.
“Well,” asked the disciple, “why did God create atheists?”
The Rabbi paused before giving an answer, and when he spoke his voice was soft and intense. “Sometimes we who believe, believe too much. We see the cruelty, the suffering, the injustice in the world and we say: ‘This is the will of God.’ We accept what we should not accept. That is when God sends us atheists to remind us that what passes for religion is not always religion. Sometimes what we accept in the name of God is what we should be fighting against in the name of God.”"""
""" Quoting the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidic Judaism, Buber explains that when atheists perform good deeds, they do so not from a religious obligation, but rather “an inner sense of morality.” In times of crisis, he continues, “you should never say ‘I pray that God will help you.’ Instead, for the moment, you should become an atheist, imagine that there is no God who can help, and say ‘I will help you.’”"""
