«Hegel wrote that the fundamental feeling in his age was the statement "God is dead". But is 'our' age (which is counted, as was Hegel's, from the birth of Christ) really different? And is that feeling which has been called "rebirth of religion" (in parliaments, among terrorists, and in the media, more than in the ever emptier churches) really anything else but the "death of God"?»
