It is no surprise.
Man misses God and God is always silent.
‘Among Languages,I am Silence‘ Lord Krishna says.
Being silent ,unaffected by the events around one,joyful at all times is the meaning of attaining peace and Godhood.
When Religion becomes dogmatic, forgetting that the Religion is for the people, right at that moment God, for that Religion, is dead.
‘The Kingdom of God is within you’ said Jesus.
Unfortunately, the Church, instead of following this, has been , for centuries, resorting to blind liturgy, ceremonies and other paraphernalia.Unless the Church returns to the main teaching of Christ , simple living, high thinking,tolerance and eternal quest to realise God,the West shall remain materialistic and be plagued by self doubts.

Europe today is tired of religion and bored by God claims the Irish bishops in a new pastoral letter dated March 29. Throughout the European Union it appears that God is ‘silent and unmissed in the lives of many.’
The bishops’ 12-page document, titled ‘Repent and Believe the Good News,’ advises the Irish not to follow the lead of their neighbors on the continent.
The bishops reiterate Pope Benedict’s observation that Europeans seem tired of their faith, including their history and culture, and they no longer seem to wish to know Jesus Christ.
