The Story of God with Morgan Freeman



In The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, Morgan examines a series of spiritual questions and beliefs, shared by many different people from around the world.

Check it out, and it is likely that you will recognize some people, disagree with others, and eventually learn some things you probably didn't know.

He is intentionally non-conclusive, leaving the conclusions to those who he interviews, and we the viewers.

A constant around the world is faith. Faith is powerful in all of its forms.

I personally wonder why we can't apply the power of faith to simple acceptance. 

I'll never be a woman, a Hindu, probably not a Muslim. But what if my faith simply allowed everyone to practice their beliefs? Would that really be so hard? Because they are all going to practice their beliefs anyway, regardless of what I believe. 

Remember, our country was formed on the basis of religious freedom, which includes the freedom not to practice any religion.

Maybe an amoral person using military force against his own citizens, so he could pose for cameras holding a bible upside down, then being condemned by the pastor of the church he chose as a prop doesn't smell quite right to you.

Then why not let Morgan Freeman open up a whole world of beliefs to you, and maybe answer some of your own spiritual questions, and improve your own understanding of our neighbors around the world?
