In this episode I discuss whether God, or any deity, expects to be worshiped and if so, just how far do we take it. I had come across a YouTube video that appeared to ask this question, but it became more about mocking Christians than actually answering the question itself. I also took a look at an article on Learning Religions that made some distinctions about worshiping different deities and how worshiping the wrong way might be a “buzzkill” for the deity that you worship.
I also bring up a really good piece of advice from Kurt Vonnegut, an American Author, about not being good at things. I think many people have an assumption that they must be good at something in order to do it. For instance, I’m doing this podcast, with no prior experience, I’m talking about religion and spirituality with no prior experience either yet here I am. Just the same as my career, I didn’t learn all the skills and knowledge overnight and same goes with hobbies and different interests.
This being a shorter episode I also realize that St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and I should do a show about that since my knowledge pretty much ends with wearing green. Finally, I got a new microphone which has made the audio quality much better. This was after breaking the one I had which really wasn’t suited for podcasts as it picked up a lot of noise in the room, so editing and post-production is much easier now.
