A couple of days ago Dr. Johnson said that God was dead. I personally would say that God is not dead but he is definitely dying. In the world people have begun to adapt this idea that one should do whatever one feels. The world has become a very selfish place. People claim that "I'm just looking out for number one" but the problem with the world is that everyone is JUST looking out for number one. There are different beliefs and forms of monotheism but I would say that most hold that stealing, murdering, and basically anything that harms others is wrong. The idea of do what make you happy has been growing and is being interpreted the wrong way.
God might be dying however there are many out there that still hold onto faith and have not let God go and as long as there are people out there to spread the word and teach the next generation, God will never die.
You make a very excellent point about the whole popularization of "Do what makes you happy". the true fact of the matter, as is human nature, is that what makes us humans happy often times are things that are considered "wrong". As I pointed out in my blog post God is not dying, he is just being relegated to the role of "fad", it's always been cool to be a Christian but what is not cool is acting like one.
