"Isn't it enough to SEE that a garden is beautiful, without having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it, too?"
-Richard Dawkins
I think this quote perfectly sums up how I feel about the mysteries of the universe. I don't claim to have all the answers, and to be honest, I enjoy the wonderment of not ALWAYS knowing. This, to me, is absolutely crucial in terms of engaging the mind and stimulating imagination and critical thinking skills. To hypothesize about the way things work is one of life's great debates.
Religion likes to give all answerable things a name: God.
God is NOT an answer. God is also an enigma.

- Welcome to The Secular Gospel According to Jess! In this blog you’ll find everything from cartoons that make me laugh, to quotes that inspire me, to stories of my own personal experience when it comes to dealing with religion and pretty much everything in between. The title of my blog is intended to be ironic, as one doesn’t often hear the word, “gospel”, associated with secularism, but my intent is to preach, for lack of a better word, what I think gospel should really be about: love, rationalism, fairness, equality, human rights, science and truth. Enjoy!
