You imagine nonbelievers as ghastly demon ridden perverted lost souls. Nope, just people who have read much more than the bible,and experienced more than a life of indoctrination and fear mongering.

Specifically, remember when Julia remarked about Luke 14:26 (about "hating" your parents, sisters, etc.), the passage is really saying not to love them more than the poor man, the criminal, the lost, etc. It is saying that you can't just love your own life and serve ONLY your family. It means to be selfless and serve both, especially those that need to be made aware of God's presence in their lives. I challenge you to read the Bible and do some investigating. God knows we are intelligent and says some complex things. Anyone who reads it on the surface and mocks it because it suits their natural instinct to be selfish, is buying into the lies that the enemy whispers in your ear. I know, I believed them once too. Satan is the greatest car salesman on earth. he will make you laugh, stimulate you, REASON with you, and do whatever it takes to make you think that life should be nothing but EASY and FUN. But that's not reality is it? Life is tough, and God wants to give you the tools to navigate it, knowing your true worth. To think you already know it is false, because you doubt yourself sometimes. Not very concrete. But He ALWAYS knows! Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. I mean, look at it! Sweeney is selling something just like Bill Maher! It's a trend to bash God because it sells! God doesn't want money from you or to brainwash you. He wants you to be free from yourself! Its human selfishness that's taken the freedom He's given us and turned the Earth into the selfish place it is! Look into the concept of free will. That is the next step in the investigative process. You are the princes and princesses of a kingdom greater than your own. Be broken of yourself, and be free!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-53114368303228941492009-12-13T15:23:56.618-06:002009-12-13T15:23:56.618-06:00Hello Miss Sweeney, I would like to thank you for...Hello Miss Sweeney, I would like to thank you for doing a great job with such a difficult subject; your show, "Letting Go of God". The design, writing, and your presentation were absolutely perfect. Not only did I find it persuasive, it was thoroughly enjoyable. <br />I'm not a blogger. In fact, this is my very first blog. However, I am so impressed by you that I feel compelled offer my thanks and praise to you. (Geez that sounded dangerously close to religion!) Nonetheless, I dare say that this is the finest piece of circumloquity of the 21st century!<br />Thank you!<br />John BarrowmanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128443136974845965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-88523147149375326842009-12-12T18:27:52.029-06:002009-12-12T18:27:52.029-06:00Letting Go of God WOW...Thank you for your candor ...Letting Go of God WOW...Thank you for your candor and for talking out of my head...Now I know I am not alone in thinkingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-59829435247388731192009-12-03T10:57:47.101-06:002009-12-03T10:57:47.101-06:00I just saw Letting Go of God last night.

I was impressed with your quest for spiritual "truth". I appreciated your honesty and I think we can make the world a better place without the rituals of organized religion. And, by the way, I haven't felt like murdering people either. In fact, I feel more personal responsibility knowing that we must make the changes we seek in others.harley72032https://www.blogger.com/profile/07039685940509070185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-84385105189033407012009-12-02T16:51:03.716-06:002009-12-02T16:51:03.716-06:00Just watched your film on Showtime and found your ...Just watched your film on Showtime and found your blog afterwards. Thank you for both.<br /><br />I'm Jesuit-educated and when I studied Plato, I came to the same conclusion. The rational, awe-inspiring brilliance of the Greeks seemed more worthy of adulation than the Jesus of the gospels. For some Jesuits, it was a kind of sophistication to reject the piety of the "masses."<br />And they made sure that they had leaders who were fluent in the classics.<br /><br />On the day of final vows, a select group met in secret to pronounce special vows. They were described as "the professed" and would be the future superiors and provincials. This process was dropped in the '70s but in light of your observation about the "lower classes" made me wonder if that wasn't part of the deal (so to speak).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-88132334143364252692009-12-02T15:32:48.438-06:002009-12-02T15:32:48.438-06:00Julia,

Even better to find you have a blog on the same network as I do. Of course you are way more famous than I'll ever be I enjoy reading your blog. What fun. Thank you for sharing your journey.<br /><br />It is interesting that at this time so many people are re-focusing, consolidating, and rethinking their lives and the way we/they live. May have something to do with all the globalization, financial calamity and the unprecedented realization of how closely we are connect to each other globally. <br /><br />I remember going to the Grand Canyon as a 10 year old, maybe younger. I grew up in So.Cal. and my parents took me over spring vacation. I do remember seeing snow in Flagstaff which was amazing to a lil' kid from southern California. It was an amazing place to see and I'd love to go back now as an adult and see it again. Your trip sounds wonderful and I can't think of a better way to travel. Lucky you.<br />Looking forward to keeping up with you and your blog.The Fibers of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523771983654090959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-72096934388043520992009-12-02T14:57:45.734-06:002009-12-02T14:57:45.734-06:00I know you don't want to deal with a lot of co...I know you don't want to deal with a lot of comments here but I had to tell you that I just watched "Letting Go of God" and it is amazing.
