and my god? i see now that the loneliness of god is his strength. what would he be if he listened to your jealous little counsels? well, my loneliness shall be my strength too. it is better to be alone with god. his friendship will not fail me, nor his counsel, nor his love. in his strength, i will dare and dare and dare until i die. i will go out now to the common people, and let the love in their eyes comfort me for the hate in yours. you will all be glad to see me burned, but if i go through the fire i will go through it to their hearts forever and ever. and so, god be with me. [commotion] as god is my judge, if she fell in the loire i would jump in in full armor to fish her out. but if she plays the fool at compiegne and gets caught, i must leave to her doom. then you had better chain me up, for i could follow her to hell when the spirit rises in her like that. she disturbs my judgment too. there is a dangerous power in her outbursts. but the pit is open before her and for good or evil, we ca

i experienced god in my life. even though i went to mit, harvard, studied religions all over the world, and jean-paul sartre, russell, god never left my world. there are some instructional support those who are not certain, and to think, to use their intellect. of course, we see signs of god's wisdom in creation. much in is in the tradition of the west. for a person of vision, the side of everything. they fly flying in the air. a mosquito, ants walking on the ground is proof of existence. the wonder of creation. everything is so wondrous. our educational system is very successful in destroying the sense of wonder. >> that is a whole other program. >> exactly. for example, we explained away so it is no longer a wonder, but it is still a wonder that a butterfly flies, the matter how much we talk about the aerodynamics and the wings. in our educational system, in the islamic world, the sense of wonder was always cultivated. from my childhood, when i had the sense of wonder, playing in the garden, i felt god's presenc

is no god but god and mohammed is his profit. the key teaching- submission to god- and that is at the very heart of it. once we've established that identity, we can move on to relationship, and as i mentioned, islam is about submission- giving up, the letting go, knowing that allah is everything and love of allah is the key. so muslims believe in total submission to the will of allah. moving on down through the graphics, we can then begin to develop these. the qur'an- not quite like the bible because this is the holy textbook that is literally breathed forth by allah- it's revealed; it's a sacred text, but more than just a book that you could have a critical analysis of, this is the word of god. and they say- i'm not very, you know, i think i got a d- in my arabic back in graduate school- but they say the beauty of it as it's recited; it's meant to be recited, and that's the key. another key point- shirk. idolatry- putting anything else in the place of allah. we'll see when we go inside a mosque via our video- dome of the rock- n

that the fact that you got pregnant in that rape, that was god's will. and because of that distinction, yes, he does believe that the government should force you, against your will, to carry that child to term, even if rape is the way that you got pregnant. the only senate race in the pregnant in which mitt romney has done a television ad endorsement for the republican senate candidate, the only one in the country, is this ad that he did for richard mourdock. it started airing in indiana this week. what is incredible in national news now, now that richard mourdock has made these comments about god's will and your rape, the romney campaign has came out and said that mr. romney disagrees with mr. mourdock's rape comments, but the romney campaign does not want this ad to be taken down and they do not rescind their endorsement, which means that it is not just richard mourdock anymore who has to worry about people being able to vote right now with those words about god and your rape ringing in your ears. the democratic party is making sure that that is not ju

quote, god creates life. and that was my point. god does not want rape. and by no means was i suggesting that he does. rape is a horrible thing, and for anyone to twist my words otherwise is absurd and sick. mourdock's statement is coming out of a political controversy, should we say three-peat almost. congressman todd aciken's comments in august where he talked about legitimate rape and a woman's body being somehow able to reject a pregnancy from a rapist. and last week, congressman joe walsh running in illinois only fueling the flames by suggesting in a question about abortion when the life of a mother is at risk that women don't die anymore in childbirth days of advances in had science. >> first of all, from what i understand from doctors, that's really rare. if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. >> let me briefly say, there is no such exception. with modern technology and science, you can't find one instance. >> do you mean to say it's never medically necessary to do an abortion, to save the life of

in the book you say god stands for our need to know ourselves and as awareness evolves, so does god. does that mean that god changes or our understanding deepen in the. >> our understanding deepens. today we know the universe came into existence almost 40 billion years ago, that 70% of the universe dark energy and 25% is dark matter. only less than 1% is regular atomic matter, that includes all the galaxies and all the star, billions of them and trillions of planets, so, god obviously can't be a dead white male in the sky, right? >> or a sugar daddy giving out favor, right? >> yes. in the book as i go through the experiences of job, of st. paul of an english woman of fame ann hutchinson during the time of the puritans, and einstein and more, we find a common thread. it is amazing that they all had an experience as a child, something beyond the visibility world. they all lost their fear of death and emerged with platonic truth. truth, goodness, beauty, harmony, evolution, love, compassion, joy, kindness and that is the essential religious experience. then we kind of made it a religion

i struggled with it myself for a long time, but i came to realize life is a gift from god. and i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. >> the romney campaign's first reaction was to distance governor romney from the latest crazy republican outburst. last night his campaign said governor romney disagrees with richard mourdock's comments and they do not reflect his views. then today, his campaign added this. we disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest, but still support him. and still supporting richard mourdock means that this ad is still running in indiana. >> this fall i'm supporting richard mourdock for senate. as state treasurer, richard worked with governor daniels to balance the budget and make more. as. richard will help stop the liberal agenda. with so much at stake, i hope you'll join me in supporting richard mourdock for senate. he this is a reminder that a republican congress working with a republican plaintiff that woman should not be able to make choices about thei

it's about who is god. god can never be the traditional christian god. it doesn't work even though i was raised as methodist in the christian church. so i wanted to affirm for people that we come here with our intuition about what is define intactd. we all have that. all of us. well, most of us. we should have more faith in it the beauty of the earth is devine. this is, you know, we live in. heaven already. so that was partly what i'm exploring in the "color purple." >> at one point in your life did you decide a christian god wasn't for you. >> well, when i was 13 my parents and family always twoabtd church, i decided that found my church in nature, and my parents by then, i was the last child so they were too tired to force me to go to church with them as they had done with my seven siblings who are holder. i got to stay home. while they in were in the tiny church, which is a sweet little church, seemed to be so little compared to the universe, and i wanted to be in the whole thing, you know. i used to sit in church and look at the window how big, you k

maya kings styled themselves as gods, as their divine representatives on earth. the crucial importance of corn, the staff of life throughout mesoamerica, led to depictions of nobles and rulers as the maize god. eternally young and beautiful, the god of maize was a metaphor for life itself. portraits of the maize god and pakal share the same upswept hairdo that mimics the foliage and flowing corn silk of the maize plant. pakal and other rulers were buried with masks and jewelry made of green jade-- the color of the maize plant. just as maize died at harvest and returned to life with each new growing season, maya rulers also hoped for life after death. the lid of pakal's sarcophagus shows him being lifted up into the sky as the maize god. what we see is pakal emerging om theaws of the uer he is lying in a sacrificial plate. he is in the pose of the young child because he is being born from below. what he has done is he has triumphed over death. he has outwitted the gods of the underworld. and he is being reborn into the sky.

i may feel there's a god.'t say they are atheist all, but they do not asubscribe to any organized religion. what i find more interesting than the 20% is flip it over that means that 80%, 80% of americans do say yes, we belong to some organized religion. now compare to that -- you know, like in western europe in every country in western europe, it is less than 50% of people who asubscribe to an organized religion. usually it's in the 40, 45% range across the board. and for those who attend church regularly, it is way way down. 16% in france, 10% in the uk go to church regularly. and here in this country 80% say they belong to a church and attend regularly. and when you think about that here is the real question i have got for you. what does that say about us as a people? if 80% of americans are such godly people if we as a nation are one nation under god, why are we still practicing the death penalty? hum? why are we still building nuclear weapons? for massive kills of innocent people around the world. why are

animals such as sheep or cows to recall abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to god. >>> in a major speech on poverty, vice-presidential candidate paul ryan this week praised religious charities, while blasting federal anti-poverty programs, he charged they create what he called a "debilitating culture of dependency." sister simone campbell, leader of the nuns on the bus tour, criticized ryan, a fellow catholic, for wanting to slash federal funding for low-income families. she argued that contradicted church teachings. >>> meanwhile, in an interview with catholic news service, philadelphia archbishop charles chaput said catholics must be loyal to their church not their political party on the issue of abortion. >>> a poll released this week from the public religion research institute found that 60% of catholics think the church should focus more on social justice and the poor even if that means focusing less on issues like abortion. >>> we conclude today our three-part series on the fast-growing number of american adults, one in five, who say they have no religious af
