Godless in America

Atheists are heavily concentrated in economically developed countries, particularly the social democracies like America; in underdeveloped countries, there are virtually no atheists.

Atheism is a peculiarly modern phenomenon where money has replaced God while religion sells places in heaven. More primitive countries who have yet to be defiled by money still trust in God.

The Cabala explains how the body has a nature to survive thus focusing on the material but it is the soul which gives life to the body–substance is only a vehicle through which life filters from the heavens down to the earth. The essence of life calls to us with the voice of pleasure found in our food and our physical environment.

The strong animal nature within the human being prevents those searching for a closer connection with the Creator; stymied by the need for substance, the allure of money, the gleam of silver modern man is blinded into thinking creation is a haphazard affair.

Invariably when giving a coin to a beggar they respond with, “God bless you” because the less we have the more we see. In the Tulmud–Book of Law to term Sogi Ore/Too Much Light is used to describe a blind person; those afflicted with the need for more substance are blind to God.
