After last week’s unprecedented violence by Hamas extremists in Israel’s Gaza Strip, cohost teZa and Carter Lord attempt to explain their relationship with the Divine, the blatant cause of too many wars. For these two long-marrieds, they experience the Sacred through both personal inner experiences, like meditation and serving others, as well as through spiritual teachings, such as “The Word” offered in religious texts. Both defend their very different stands on the modern question of: “Is God dead?” debated by various seekers and anti-religious alike. The Lords’ conclusion? Yes! ALL Religions serve as a beacon of hope for many in our otherwise insane world. But extremists—of any ilk—can make anything a trip to hell with their narrow, intolerant interpretation of what is, in essence, simply one’s version of goodness: being a decent human being.
