Knowledge about the physical world has buried almost all the gods.
Nothing is different about Jesus or Christianity.
The process of science overcomes our natural tendencies to believe in myths and superstition and replaces dogma with knowledge that works.
We need to bury God to produce a better moral and ethical world.
We must openly call out lies and distortions. We should foster open questioning (and refutation by others) with no false claims of certainty.
Burying God is NOT a bad thing because science provides compensations in return with more accurate thinking--the universal invitation to question anyone's claims and the universal requirement to exercise due diligence and a duty of care to substantiate those claims.

About Me
- PERMAN WILSON
- MY BELIEF IN GOD IS NATURALISTIC: Unlike most people who use the name, God, I have a rational definition for the concept: I define 'god' to mean 'ruler'. When I write the name 'God' with a capital "G," I am referring to each one of the elements in my trinity working together in harmony. Thus, for me: (1) Nature is god of the Universe. (2) Humanity is god of the planet Earth. (3) My own mind is god of my own body. I SERVE NATURE BEST BY KNOWING AND OBEYING THE LAWS OF NATURE AS MUCH AS I CAN DETERMINE WITH SCIENCE AND MY SCIENTIFIC THINKING. I SERVE HUMANITY BE BEING HUMANE. I SERVE MY OWN MIND BY CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING AS MUCH AS I REASONABLY CAN, AND THINKING OPTIMISTICALLY, HEALTHFULLY, AND WHOLESOMELY WHILE ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.
