I love taking the opportunity to share a post I would’ve written. Even better is when it is a post about finding GOD in the unlikeliest of places, including from the lips of a noted skeptic. That’s my kind of work.

Zack Hunt nails it this time with his “A Lesson On Faith From Neil deGrasse Tyson“.

After quoting Tyson’s last words of the season finale of Cosmos, which implored the viewer to question and think and test and evaluate the world around them, testing, even themselves, Hunt dives in:

I realize it’s more than a bit ironic to suggest that the church should take these words as a lesson on faith since there is at least the implicit notion behind Tyson’s words (given his own views on religion) that such a path should lead a person away from faith.

But given the fundamentalism and fear which have become so pervasive in the church today that few of us even recognize it unless it’s standing on a corner with a sign protesting a funeral, I think anyone who believes their faith is really worth believing in should heed the words of Neil deGrasse Tyson.

And it only gets better. I was tempted to just keep going. Click on over and find out what I mean.
