Most perceptive observation, dear brother in Christ! Moreover, she doesn't believe there is such a thing as a unique human soul worth caring about. She can think only in terms of "reducing" all of humanity to some kind of indistinguishable mass. So not only it is pointless and futile to believe that there is Life beyond the grave, but human life itself here on earth is all quite pointless, too. No individual genius, no individual striving, no individual love is worth a tinker's damn in the end.
In short, Schiori isn't satisfied with just "killing God." She will not rest until she has destroyed man, too.
How does the spirit of Nihilism gain authority within the churches? Pope Paul VI worried about this out loud during the '70s ... back in the heyday of "liberation theology."
The fact is, the only logical conclusion to be drawn from the nihilist premise is that the best thing a human being can do is commit suicide. For if all is pointless, then: What's the point of living (and suffering) in the first place?
Thank you ever so much, dear brother in Christ, for your wise and perceptive essay/post — and for the astute warning with which you concluded it.
