There is No God

NPR : There is No God

I heard this on NPR this morning - very well written (spoken?), and I enjoyed every moment of it. If you can, listen to the essay instead of reading it…

I have always considered myself spiritual, but certainly not in the organized religion sense of the word. I believe that what we believe is entirely up to us, and no should attempt to change that or tell us we’re stupid for believing it. We’re all equal here, and if I believe that there’s an elephant in Penn’s trunk, so be it. Funny how so many religious teachings at the core go along the same lines : tolerance of others, love thy neighbor, etc. get twisted by one organization or the other… Perhaps if we all believed that “there is no god” we might all start believing in each other.
