TDT#80: Bishop John Shelby Spong on Eternal Life: A New Vision (Truth-Driven Thinking)
Interview:
http://podbay.fm/show/125255718/e/1253022379?autostart=1
Bishop Spong returns to TDT for an extended interview about his final book, "Eternal Life: A New Vision." It is the culmination of his 79 years of passionate curiosity about the world, and his journey beyond religion, and beyond heaven and hell. Is there life after death? Can a skeptic accept this definition? Find out. Surely a conversation to spark thought.
During this interview, Spong explains his view of the history of religion and why he thinks we have outgrown religion. For one thing, religion has been maintained through the ages as a way for rulers to control the masses, threatening them with eternal punishment on the one hand, and encouraging to patiently tolerate earthly injustice for a greater reward in the next life. He cites Conservative uses of religion in the U.S. today to encourage poor people to accept inequality.
