8 Reflections on Faith & Religion
Skeptics and nonbelievers are right to reject the religion and faith they've been presented by believers.
You might be tempted to take that statement at face value. Don't! Everything you've been told about religion and faith is wrong. That goes for believers and nonbelievers alike.
Presented here are eight personal expressions on religion and faith...
Most of the eight items (covered in just 35 minutes) could be their own episode. But if we could oversimplify...
-Religion is an artifact of violence.
-Faith is blind adherence to religion.
-And God is on our side in this violence!
This won't get us to a Zero Aggression society.
And we're saying all of this, as believers!
