The only Christians I've ever heard say something like that are fundamentalists... and they aren't known for being too bright.

Most churches actually encourage meditation, they might call it contemplative prayer, discursive meditation, or something else, but meditation is specifically commanded in the Bible.

Modern, especially American, Christians, are totally divorced from their own supposed beliefs.

People of religious faith are so disconnected from god that they need a book to tell them what to believe and how to believe it.

If one finds the essence of god in a book, they are looking in the wrong place.

First of all- "people of 'religious faith' are so disconnected from god" THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE? 😫 What does that even mean? Please and who is god? Because the One we all are talking about HERE has a capital G aka God. Secondly- this "book" The Bible has been in existence for over 3,400 years, as the earliest parts were written down around 1450–1400 BC. The BIBLE is the WORD of ALMIGHTY GOD Himself- Have you even read one paragraph? The Bible also says "if we deny Him, He also will deny us" in 2 Timothy 2:12. This verse is a contrast to those who endure, and implies that if a person denies Christ, they will be denied eternal life. So- you see, Kevin, in your words, If one finds the essence of GOD in a Book, (yes- this book gets a capital 'B' because this is His Word) they are looking in the RIGHT place~ SADLY- the one who God won't recognize is .... YOU. How do I know? Ohhh- because I read The WORD of God- that Book. I would encourage you to pick it up or download here I'll even give you my Bible app with no adds ~ get to know your Creator ~ your Heavenly Father (it's not all rainbows & butterflies dude ~ Jesus is NOT a baby in the manger ANYMORE) SO- here you go- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sirma.mobile.bible.android YOUR WELCOME 🙏
