The Story of God with Morgan Freeman

The show covers a great deal of topics and different religions and belief systems, but it is quite repetitive. The overall message is very positive and the overall tone is unbiased, but many of the shows repeat the same exact themes and knowledge.

I usually don't write stuff on IMDb but i felt like this series is going a little unnoticed so here goes:

I just finished the first episode and it was amazing! First i should tell that I'm a Muslim and i've been looking for something like this in a really long time. A documentary about religions and different aspects of them, without taking any side on what's right or wrong, just informing people about what's going on with people of other nations.

Once again Morgan Freeman plays the role of the narrator astonishingly. We see him travel around the world and become familiar with different beliefs and cultures. It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Christian or even a non-believer, this series takes you on an epic journey to see other cultures and history of the world. Definitely a must see and a masterpiece.

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.

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

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.
