Free Music Notes for Letting Go of God
Free Music Review: Entertaining and thought-provoking story
Hit: 5 Stars
Julia is obviously a very intelligent, compassionate person and is easily relatable. Her delivery is funny and sincere, and listening to her share the story of her personal quest for spiritual understanding is super entertaining, particularly for anyone who has ever questioned the faith they were raised in. I am not atheist but I wish more of my religious friends & family would listen to this.
Letting Go of God Poster
Julia Sweeney says she was a "happy Catholic girl" when, one day, she walked into church and signed up for a Bible-study course. "What an eye opener that was!" she says. "Next thing you know, I was on a quest for something I could really believe in. I traveled to places like Bhutan, Ecuador, and my local Starbucks looking for answers. Would I embrace Buddhism? New Age pseudo-science? Was I a freak for feeling the way I did, or were there other people out there just like me? I was grappling with serious questions. But, somehow, a lot of the things that were happening to me seemed, well, funny." Equally comedic and insightful, Letting Go of God is Sweeney's brilliant one-woman show about her struggle with her faith. Grappling with the seeming contradictions in Adam and Eve, Noah, the Ten Commandments, and even the teachings of Jesus - and trying to understand the Bible's messages about morality, family values, and human suffering while faced with door-knocking Mormons and wise-cracking priests - Sweeney takes listeners on her very personal journey from God to "not-God". This performance was recorded on November 19, 2005, at the Ars Nova Theatre in New York City.Miscellaneous Music CDs
