Armstrong Karen: Religion

Because "God" is infinite, nobody can have the last word

What is this thing, religion, supposedly the cause of bloodshed and warring for centuries? What is God and do we need Him in our modern world? Karen Armstrong looks again at these questions in a refreshing and startling way. God is not to be believed in as a child believes in Santa Claus; religion is not a story to be proven true or false, but a discipline akin to music or art that answers a deeply human need, and can teach us to discover new capacities of mind and heart.
