Friction in the Big Faith Questions: Part 2

Mac and The Rev resume a series on Google’s top faith questions, reflecting first on a listener comment that what

needs saving might not be religion but our relationship with mystery and one another, and encouraging more

playfulness and less certainty. They revisit earlier topics (God, Bible reliability, suffering) and discuss new questions:

whether Jesus is really God (answering yes, and so is everyone through a shared God/Christ essence; Jesus

modeled awakening and taught paradox and responsibility rather than co-dependence), whether God can be

known personally (yes, through direct experience of breath, heartbeat, and life force beyond secondhand religion),

whether Christianity is too narrow (arguing love is the “narrow” way that becomes expansive and inclusive), what

the Bible says about homosexuality (noting Jesus says little; Paul and Leviticus are often used to exclude;

emphasizing “love your neighbor”), and whether life has purpose (framing it as sharing one’s vibration with

awareness, embracing doubt, and remaining open to mystery). They teaser a next episode on Acts 2 and

community.
