- A View of Nontheism (Time.com)
"Armstrong acknowledges that the anthropomorphic personal God of monotheism is obsolete (hence dead), as is the remote Supreme Being posited by religious philosophers. A more plausible alternative is the God of mysticism, experienced as a reality that lies beyond human concepts, much the way that great art is felt. Not that this will be easy in an age of anomie, symbolized by handgun violence, hip-hop quality and an MTV attention span. Human kind cannot bear very much reality, T.S. Eliot wrote, but it also cannot endure too much emptiness and desolation. In her book's dying fall, Armstrong suggests that the ancient quest for life's meaning will go on." 11-07
