Abstract

The article explores the concept of God in the context of contemporary existential crises, arguing that the decline of belief in God in the Western world coincides with significant global challenges, termed a "polycrisis." It posits that humanity's increasing self-centeredness and the resulting cultural evils necessitate an external source of selfless love to foster cooperation and survival. The text critiques traditional religious narratives, particularly the interpretation of sin and the role of Jesus as a Messiah, suggesting that the true essence of faith lies in selflessness and community. It emphasizes the need for a divine intervention that transcends mere human efforts, ultimately advocating for a return to a belief in a loving God who can guide humanity towards a more cooperative and harmonious existence.
