I'm hoping my series of posts will get people to be active in the revolution and protest non violently. Anyway I want to do a non related post on inner spirituality. I was watching Bill maher one night because Neil degrasse Tyson was on his show. Well bill maher asked him if he believed in any form of God and he said yes and talked about his own personal spirituality from his work in astronomy. Unfortunately bill maher had to argue with him and took offense to his personal beliefs in God. Look I totally understand having moral issues with institutionalized religion but why personal spirituality? There is nothing wrong with personal spirituality. Cmon I mean Neil is a scientific person. What are your thoughts?
