Due to some technical difficulties with the initial upload of this video, this is a reupload. Thanks for watching Crash Course!
Good vid!!!
Even though I am Agnostic I show interest in these subjects. Thank you!
For the record, there isn't a single Tai Chi instructor, or even master, either in the West or in China, who would say that if you practice Tai Chi or read the Tao Te Ching without worshipping Daoist gods you are doing something wrong or immoral.
Informative as always.
"Do they even make Christmas movies anymore?" … yes, families like my in-laws will watch the new Christmas movies of the year and then never again, but The Muppets Christmas Carol is a Christmas Eve tradition that will never end.
I usually think of paranormal like scifi and supernatural like fantasy.
Something you may already be planning to touch upon: I was surprised when, in a recent interview, author Sofia Samatar described herself as “religious but not spiritual.” It’s my understanding that this is a nascent and growing trend—people who like religion for ethics, community, and culture, but they reject the supernatural claims of their given faith tradition.
Meme I saw: People are like, “I’m spiritual!” I’m like, “Demons are spirits too! Be more specific.” 😂
Only a few seconds in, and this is already the most cinematographically entertaining Crash Course episode I've seen. <3
I love that New Zealand is on the map of religions at 12:09 for some reason, I guess it's left off maps so often Crash Course wanted to redress the balance 😄
Is that Freddy Fazbear in the thumbnail?
I see John's new episode about religion, I click, I am simple believer.
