The Jewish theologian Martin Buber built a philosophy of encounter. The goal of human beings is to have a full encounter with one another and eventually with God. Buber differentiated between such moments of encounter with God and the ritual practices of religion. He felt that religion actually distracted from being in Gods presence. Many people today believe that Buber was right that religion detracts from God. They say that religious people are more interested in keeping the rules than in encountering God.
