00:00 As we are, God is not another name for truth.
00:03 God is another name for our belief.
00:05 Any belief is a stupid thing.
00:08 Knowing is one thing, believing is another.
00:11 These are two separate dimensions.
00:13 If God is the name of your deepest understanding,
00:16 then God is worth going down to.
00:20 But if God is the name of your blind belief,
00:23 then such a God needs to be discarded.
00:25 Real religiosity lies in deep curiosity.
00:29 A deep sense of inquiry.
00:31 And it is from that deep sense of inquiry
00:34 that the truth emerges.
00:36 God as stories, God as history,
00:39 God as concept, God as belief,
00:42 God as rituals, God as assumption,
00:46 God as tradition, makes no sense.
00:49 And is actively toxic.
