How to revive the dialogue between believers and nonbelievers - referred to by Pope Benedict XVI speaks of the need to restore a 'hall of the Gentiles' - as authentic as possible? This question you can answer correctly only if you will bear in mind the paradoxical closeness and set the difference between the partners. The neighborhood is quickly told: the only atheist that it is possible to conceive with radical seriousness, lives in the believer, because only those who believe in God and has experience of His love, can know what is and what its denial would lead to the endless pain his absence. Therefore, the unbeliever is not out of those who believe, but in him: the so-called atheist, when it is really beginning to end that, when it is not for semplicequalificazione appearance, but for the suffering of a life without being able to fight with God to believe in him, he lives in a search condition and pain, which makes him 'feel' as his longing and desire for God's non-belief is not an easy adventure of a refusal, that leaves no traces on the contrary, it is passion, the suffering of a person's life that pays the bitter challenge of not believing. No coincidence that the famous aphorism 125 of the 'Gay Science', where Nietzsche talks about the crazy man in the bright sunshine in the morning went on the market place, having lit a lamp and shouting "God is dead ... and we killed him! ", contains the agonizing pain of endless complaint of disbelief, a sense of abandonment, orphans, which follows the murder of God for all non-believers, as believers, is a man who fights with God: "I religión es lucha con Dios" (Miguel de Unamuno).
In fact, they suffer and the dying to inspire in us the question, which is the basis of this struggle. The pain reveals itself more strongly to life from death, which produces it, because it teaches that we are not simply thrown to their deaths, but those called to life. The human journey is all in taking seriously the tragedy of death, escape, hiding, as it has done too often modern, but wondering, wondering, thinking. Where the question arises, where the man did not surrender to fate of the need and then to death, there are revealed the dignity of life, the meaning and beauty to exist, there stands the struggle with God there 's Man discovers pilgrim towards life, a beggar in the sky, and we understand how the great temptation is for everyone to stop the journey, of being reached, no longer exiles in this world, but holders, rulers of today who would like to possess the truth whole. "The exile of Israel in Egypt was true that the Jews had learned to stand '(Tales of the Hasidim', edited by Martin Buber), the true exile does not begin when you leave home, but when there ' is the yearning in the heart of the country. Martin Heidegger, speaking of the 'night of the world' in which we stand, said the drama of modern times is not the lack of God, but the fact that most men do not suffer from this lack, and therefore no longer feel the need to overcome the infinite pain of death, exile and homeland whereas this time passing. Remembering this, believers and nonbelievers - nell'irriducibile difference or even a meeting to take place with the One who is truth himself - may feel united in a single trip, or admitted in the same unspoken desire for God From here you can move together to build a 'hall of the Gentiles', where to meet together in wonder, in
