Is doubt the death of faith? To the contrary, @yaledivinityschool.bsky.social professor Christian Wiman thinks it's a possible route to revelation and renewal. Link to full conversation in the following post. 1/2
While it's true that the idea of hell can cause stress and fear, @shadihamid.bsky.social argues that, somewhat paradoxically, it can also offer an opportunity to chill -- a relief of responsibility to ensure complete justice now while maintaining solace that it will be meted out. 🧵
Can you control your dreams? Tibetan Buddhists found a way centuries ago. I talk with neuroscientist Ken Paller (paller.bsky.social) about lucid dreaming, and with neuroscientist Robin Nusslock & Geshe Thabkhe about how monks & scientists are studying it together. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

As Americans leave organized religion, the moral & emotional needs once met by faith communities remain. Is there a danger in leaving faith, or can we adapt its wisdom to meet our needs today? My discussion with Krista Tippet, Father Greg Boyle, & Rabbi Shira Stutman www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJAJ...
Why do many people think the End Times & Rapture are just around the corner? I talk with writer Dina Nayeri about what it's like to live with that expectation, and Cornell Prof. Kim Haines-Eitzen about what we get wrong about religious views of the apocalypse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Another hearing on UFOs/UAPs today. But while the debate is focused on "disclosure," there's another story. More & more people are treating aliens as spiritual guides. And why not? Like many religions, the stories are about powerful beings coming down from the sky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
From my conversation with @hubermanlab.com, here's why you shouldn't believe any scientist who says they know for certain that God doesn't exist. Science can & does adjudicate ideas about how the world works. But it can't answer whether God is out there. www.hubermanlab.com/episode/scie...

The UCP didn’t run on leaving Canada, but Danielle Smith’s rolled out the red carpet for a divisive vote on it. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in Alberta’s New Democrats & say I’m a proud Albertan & proud Canadian who rejects separatism. Are UCP MLAs able & willing to do the same? #abpoli
