Spirit Science

by Lynne De Rien

Spirit Science

I have opinions but am very open-minded, and I have no qualms about exploring what I believe and changing my opinions in light of revelations or a really good point that someone made.

That being said, I really enjoy thought-provoking subjects like those that deal with spirituality and personality. I especially like exploring spirituality because, as an agnostic, I’m not sure what exactly is going on but maybe someday I’ll come across a religion or way of life that really appeals to me. (I have already come across minimalism, which does appeal to me and has really changed my way of thinking.)

So of course when I came across the video series Spirit Science, I really enjoyed it, and I still look forward to upcoming episodes.

Why is your god real but others are not?

by Lynne De Rien

There’s one thing that really confuses me. Of course, I’m not actually going to tell you upfront what that thing is. Just a heads up: I’ll be beating around the bush for pretty much this whole post.

On a side note, I’m not one for religion bashing. As a matter of fact, I’m an agnostic and I have lots of religious tolerance. I believe that everyone can believe whatever it is they want to believe. Now, let’s continue.

I’m quite a fan of Ancient Greece–their culture, civilization, and language is all very fascinating to me. However, the one thing that always draws me to the Ancient Greeks is their religion. They believed in a great array of gods and goddesses. Back then, these gods were mainly created to explain something they didn’t understand. And the Ancient Greeks weren’t the only ones who did it either.
