What are we talking about, when we talk about God? There's no doubt that something has been lost with the pervasive decline of religion in the modern world. Society is fractured. We lack a shared framework. We're tired of trying to work everything out. It's easier just to avoid thinking at all.


Which is in some ways the point of religion - to avoid having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to purpose and morality. In its absence, we are adrift.


Here at the Hidden Power Podcast one thing has been clear all along: we need to put the Biosphere at the centre of our governance models, and as Lynne White proposed over Fifty years ago - religion may be the key. What is a governance model, if not the prioritising of what is important?


In this episode, Ed sets out various ideas about God, laying them against the Biosphere like a series of well-formed suits.


Talking points:


Context of this episode: nature in its maternal aspect


What are we talking about when we talk about God


Some theologies - Scott Littleton, Monotheism, Carl Jung


Worship is for the Worshipper


Gods as forces of nature, as the highest thing


Explanation - God vs Science


God as unifying moral compass


The symbol of human value


Spirit - team spirit


Faith - God as purpose, God as love


Accountability - God, People


Communication - the golden rule and the biosphere


God the fixer and the prime minister of Australia


Deism vs Pantheism


What is God? Why can't He be the biosphere?
