Letting Go of God

Julia Sweeney's Letting Go Of God! Monologue

This excellent monologue, by Julia Sweeney, is a hilarious, poignant, brave, and uplifting story about her search for a more real relationship with God. She relates her love of the Catholic Church in which she was raised, and her disillusion with the Bible on which its teachings are based. Ultimately, through much soul-searching and education, she comes to the understanding that there is no God. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE HER OR NOT, her presentation is worth listening to, if for no other reason than to hear about all the different conversations she's had with the Church and other spiritual leaders of our time.

Personally, she illustrates beautifully what I myself went through when I was in High School. And she ends by eloquently describing the sheer joy and spiritual high that we both share as we participate in the natural world without a God describing its actions or pulling its strings. Nature is amazing. Life is amazing. And ultimately -- we are here for one small moment in its trajectory -- how lucky we are to each have our moment, to get here at ALL!!!!! How important it is to really be alive and experience it all.
