RE: The Steem Sister Show – Episode 07 // Spirituality and Religion – PART ONE
Well done ladies! This is a huge topic to take on such an international and open platform... you covered it with a ton of class and respect.
I've always been super conflicted about religion; there's no doubt there is definitely good that comes out of creating that sense of community and helping one another, and then there is all the harm that organised religions have had on the world. Even at a really young age I could see the conflict between message and action. My Grandparents loved going to mass so much, and would literally stand outside the church for 2 hours talking to their friends... but they were also unapologetically racist...
Having moved from Oregon (and working in Wisconsin) from Australia, it is fascinating to see the differences in devotion and opinion between the 3 areas.
I really enjoyed listening to you both talk about this, great show girls!
My question for next week's show is:
Did your unusual upbringing help establish a concept for the meaning of life, or the meaning of your lives? Or did you find it elsewhere, or is a question you're still working out?
Hey @aussieninja I just wanted to reach out and apologize for the confusion on where we were accepting questions for the next show. I really appreciate your thoughtful response on this episode and I'm glad you enjoyed this episode! It is definitely a delicate and sensitive topic to discuss.
I bet it would be interesting to see the difference in how people view religion and devotion - moving from Australia to the states.
Have a good weekend! It’s been fun to follow along with you and Karen’s adventures! Haha
Hey Lea!
Ah, this is amazing! You are so nice, I really appreciate the reply. I've kinda come in a bit late, so I'm sure what was obvious to everyone else was a bit confusing to me... but I'm on the same page now and excited to get the sisters thinking AND pondering.
Hope you have a great weekend too! Thanks... we were only hanging for 3 days, but it was easily my funnest 3 days in the states to date.
