A História de Deus com Morgan Freeman

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.

Morgan Freeman's series is a wonderful attempt to capture religion in an entertaining way. The topic is very complex, and yet Freeman manages to reach the viewer with his storytelling. Each episode has a focus, with everything following an overall concept. I have rarely had such an accessible intellectual conversation.

As not a very adherent strict-practicing Hindu, my interest was to know the fundamental evolution of the concept of God along with the evolution of humanity. The series brilliantly takes into considerations the various belief system followed by various religions on the planet. It was very interesting to see the inclusion of the beliefs of natives in various episodes. The series questions various fundamental questions an educated mind can think about. Obviously the series are not for the shut minded believers and may be offensive to them at one or other point, but for a cosmopolitan human being the series really throw light on the very existence of various Human faiths. Kudos for all associated with the series.

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.

Who doesn't like Morgan Freeman??? I had high hopes for this program, but I must say it fell a bit short. Main reason for this is the repetitiveness that the show has. The shows does touch on a few different religions that span the epochs, but really it concentrates on a very small few. If you're looking for a high level understanding of various religions and their dogma and beliefs about god, this will interest you. For those of you who might have wanted a much more detailed account of numerous religions and how they interpret god differently, you might be left wanting as I was.
