The Story of God with Morgan Freeman

To be clear. I do not practice religon in anyway, nor do i condem it, if you are religious and that is helping you in living a better and happier life, then I'm HAPPY for you, you found something in your life that gives you comfort and makes life a little easier :)

That's what a want for all humans on this planet.

Look, set aside race, religon, jobs, economi, borders etc etc. IT IS HARD BEING A HUMAN BEING, it really really is. Where ever you grow-up or end up.

Look, I try being a good person, i'm not racist, or sexist, If I see something wrong or someone being treated wrong in front of my eyes I intervene, I treat everyone the same until proven otherwise, I have no anger in my heart. I get angry sometimes, I party and hang out with my friends, go to work every day, working generally sucks, but I do it anyway,

seeing people happy is a great feeling, seeing people sad or worse is very very unpleasant.

I did not learn this in a book. I learned it by interacting with all kinds of people through out my life, and just a being part of this world.

Morgan Freeman, is openminded, kind, and respectful in all his encounters with people from all walks of life. WHEN you act this whey torwards people you can ask the heavy questions, the sensitive questions, and get true and honest answer in return.

THE REASON for this is because the question is comming from the right place. And Morgon Freeman does this BRILLIANTLY, he is informed and insightful, and conveys his questions as a true getlemen and a class act all the way.

This is a really interesting documentary on the human condition and our ways of dealing with Prelife - Life - Living - Death - The Afterlife.

To be honest, I don't care what happens after I die. It does not scare me nor does it please me. It is what it is, and it happens when it happens, and I'm OK with that.

Rated it 9/10

Special thanks for producing the program that presents your quest to find out how most religions describe "life after death", what different civilizations thought about the act of "creation", "devil" and other big questions of mankind. You have excitingly discussed topics from the perspective of different sciences and different religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, ....), direction that fewer researcher really has (If we don't count fanatic researches that redirect the truth and do not have holistic approach) and especially in order to have authenticated result. Unfortunately absence of "Baha'i faith" and its practical visions those are related to puberty period of human civilization is obvious and questionable. Religion must conform to science and reason, otherwise, it is superstition and in return, the present scientific view is not always correct, neither is truth only limited to what science can explain. It is less than one month that I have found this special series but as you are using reasoning powers to understand the truths ,it is really attractive to me and I am impatiently waiting for releasing next season of this series including baha'i opinions included.

First off I do not review many shows because usually people understand and get the gist from other review, synopsis, and summaries. Unfortunately it appears that people are getting a lot of misconceptions about this show. This is an amazing in depth look at major aspects that we think about today from all religions around the world including some that do not exist anymore, but that have some of it's rituals and teachings still around. This is also a hands on experience with Morgan Freeman as he travels everywhere there is or has been a major or sometimes minor religion that impacts the way we think of these certain issues today. The title of an episode pretty much sums up what they will be going in depth to find out about. I was skeptical before watching this for the first time thinking they were just going to tell the story of the Judaeo- Christian God story and nothing more, but I was so pleasantly surprised when watching this. Every time when talking with a new religion they don't just go off the book in which it is taught by but by some of the highest elders and priests associated with that religion and get the real information of what they believe in the topic being covered. I honestly cannot think of a better way this could have been done and if you watch this with an open mind you will be blown away at how well it is done. I am sure we all know parts some religions and what they believe but do you know what they truly believe about the afterlife, creation, why evil exists, what they think about miracles, and much more? From Christian, Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, and many many more we learn what their true beliefs on each topic is from a non-biased investigator and the ones that devote their life to the teachings. If you are interested in true factual understanding from religious and scientific aspects of the biggest topics that plague our minds since people began to think about what is out there then I would highly suggest checking this documentary series out whenever you can.

I liked the first installment of this series. Morgan Freeman's soothing and questioning voice lured me into an age-old pursuit: the big 'Q' regarding the big 'G''. MF touched on some of the bigger religion's views on an afterlife. When discussing God, the hereafter surely comes into play. Of course, this was just an intro into the whole God question and the myriad subtopics it conjures up. However, I like where it's headed and look forward to seeing more. It actually (quite refreshingly) gave my spiritual skepticism a light at the end of the tunnel to ponder, which in turn made me feel less skeptical and more spiritual. Likey.

Not as preach. not as system. only as source of answers. as support for questions. as axis of diversity who becomes, episode by episode, the basic piece defining us. for many reasons, Morgan Freeman is the best guest of this expedition around the cultures, civilizations, religions, personal stories, adventures and questions. because the purpoise is not to demonstrate or to justify. only , to show. the essence of humanity. the links between people. the way to translate presence of God in every day life. so, a serie. a real usefull one. for discover the world. for define tolerance. and for see God near you. from special perspective.
