Honest Doubt Part 2 - Origins

This program was about how fear and superstition were the origin of religion and our belief in the gods and spirits.

Well - how about fear and love are the two primal ways we face the universe, we can experience fear and anxiety, we can deal with others in mistrust and perhaps even hatred and dislike, or we can trust people, we can show love, we can show grace and compassion.

In that, we have the deep experience of the universe, of gods and spirits, the divine and the demonic. It isn't all rooted in fear, it is rooted in our deep passions, and perhaps we might like to think that love and caring were as deep if not deeper than fear.
