Paradoxically

When Anselm wrote that people were naturally religious he said that all you had to do to prove it was to observe that everyone else around you believed, so why shouldn't you? Sartre asserts that people are naturally irreligious, that if left on their own without any cultural influence no one would be any the wiser. Millions in the West are raised as such now, unexposed to any notion of God, so much so that should God become present that a modern adult will not allow themselves to be treated as an alienated and helpless individual whose life is dictated to them by another or to be imposed upon by the outside.

However, it is most certainly the paradoxical responsibility of those who have actually experienced God to transform their modern consciousness into precisely what that experience is meant to do, namely, the discovery of their true and authentic self without being untrue to anything.
