The Church is in the Control Business

Spong is a priest who is not afraid to say it the way he sees it... Hell is an invention, he says, invented by the Church to control us.

He explains how the Church doesn't want us to grow up, because you can't control grown ups!

Religion is an invention of man, not God... and only points us to God.

Quantum Physics: Individuality is An Illusion Because We Are All Connected

The nature of the universe is where quantum physics and mysticism overlap. Existence is one interconnected whole. We are simply a hologram of the universe subjectively experiencing and playing with existence. When we breathe, it is "God" that breathes us. When we see, God is looking out of our eyes.

"We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively." - Bill Hicks.
