#015 Amit Goswami: Is God Dead? (What Quantum Physics Tells Us)

Date: April 13, 2013 Location: El Paso, Texas At this event, Joshua Tongol was asked not to "hold back" (which he did not!) but to share anything that was on his heart. He discussed the problems of fear-based religion and offered alternative ways to understand God and spirituality. People were given opportunities to ask questions about God and religion that, in many places, religious people are too afraid to ask in church. (See Part 2: "THINGS YOU NEVER ASK IN CHURCH") Most of the attendees are unchurched (or have left the institutional church) but who still have an interest in spirituality and in God. (Is that possible?) Many people today are tired of institutionalized religion. But is there another way? Topics discussed: -How has religion been used to control people? -What motivates you to believe in God? -Is religion based on fear? -Is everything spiritual? -Can we be real with one another? -Is God "out there"? -How should I view myself? -How does God see us? -Can we love someone more than we love God? -Can we pray religiously? -Does God get jealous of the things you love? -Is God insecure? -What about "Christianese"? -Are your friendships based on ministry? -Is Jesus like a costume that covers us filthy sinners? -Should we really believe in an eternal hell? -Is the Gospel we hear today really good news? -Is God in everyone? -Is our love greater than God's love? -Is God's love conditional? -What is the life of the church? -Are you tired of church? -Are you afraid to question your religious beliefs? -How should we view others from different religions? -Were we ever separated from God? -How can we live in the moment? -Are we all children of God? Listen in as Joshua Tongol shares his heart and answers questions on this very subject. It might give you a different perspective on things.

[The views shared in this video do not necessarily represent the views of the community] In March 2013, Joshua Tongol was invited to speak to a community in Santa Cruz, CA. Aside from his preaching, he requested for intimate gatherings where people can discuss topics that are usually not brought up in the "church." Many questions came up. Nothing was too sacred to mention in this meeting. The purpose was to ask the "WHAT IF?" question and to also offer alternative explanations of certain ideas. Whenever a "new" idea was proposed to the community, the question was asked, "IS IT POSSIBLE?" No one, including the speaker, claimed to have it all figured out. But all were invited to participate in the conversation. Sadly, many religious fundamentalists (Christian and non-Christian) tend to be very dogmatic concerning certain theological doctrines. Yet there is much diversity among them. That being the case, IS IT OK TO QUESTION? Questions to think about: -What do you really believe? -Why do you believe? -Can your "truth" withstand scrutiny? -Can you listen to a different opinion other than yours without being offended? -Can you disagree with another person and still unite in love? -Can you feel safe enough in a gathering to share your heart without having to feel judged or condemned? Josh has always envisioned gatherings where people can come together--with all their differences--yet still unite in love. As you watch these videos, try to have an open heart and mind. And no matter what you may have been taught about God and/or the Bible...don't forget to THINK for yourself. Bless you on your journey...
