“What do you believe in?”
A short, vague question that evokes a spectrum of responses and can provide insight into the depths of a person’s soul (secular translation: mind). To some, this question comes with a million implications each requiring sincere contemplation and sureness, yet to others you can easily find the answer by reading their “Hello, my name is…” sticker on their chest. How do you respond to this question? Is it with furrowed brow, squinty eyes, and an introspective “hmmm…”? How about a quick declaration followed by an internal “oh God I hope they don’t ask me to explain“?
Maybe you’re a little more steadfast in your faith, or lack there-of.
Do you find yourself wondering: what kinds of lessons the other side is learning from their Holy Book? Impressed over how these stories have transcended time, and withstood bombardment from the scientific, philosophical, and historical communities? Asking what motivates intelligent, rational people to suspend disbelief and commit to a faith?
Well, if you’re like me, you’ve asked all of the above. A lot…
Thats why I created SKEPTIC-ish! A commitment to capture and share the timeless wisdom from our world’s Holy Books, and develop a deeper spiritual understanding along the way.
