Actor Kangana Ranaut in a series of tweets wrote about growing up as an atheist, mostly because of her grandfather, who was a man of science.

Responding to a tweet detailing the concept of 'kundalini', Kangana wrote that 'growing up', she was 'an atheist and studying science'. It was 'kundalini' that encouraged her 'to do experiments with various science of 4 Yogas'.

When one person asked her how she understood the concept of 'atheism' Kangana replied, "My grandfather was an atheist he engraved the concept in my mind, he was highly educated and successful person, a man of sharp intellect he debated with many against God and religion, he encouraged people to take up science somehow he separated the two, God and Science."

One of Kangana's fans jumped into the conversation and wrote that she didn't need to explain herself to the person, named Jawad Mohammed. Kangana wrote, "I dont think that, his tweets show he has great concerns about everyone around him, we cant judge or trust people based on their names, only their karma can guide us..."

Kangana often speaks about her family, and what it was like growing up in Himachal Pradesh. She wrote in a recent tweet that her family was dejected after she was born, as they would have preferred a male child. But because she was "beautiful", they felt marrying her off wouldn't be difficult.

"My birthday month, growing up grannies told stories that after a sister another girl child birth disappointed everyone but they didnt mind much cos I was very beautiful and marrying me off wont be a big burden, they all laughed at anecdotes but it pierced my heart every-time," Kangana had written alongside a childhood photo of herself and her sister, Rangoli Chandel.

Kangana Ranaut responds to Twitter user who questioned her about understanding atheism as a kid, credits grandfather - Hindustan Times

The tension between science and religion is old news to us moderns. Historical events like the Catholic Church's trial of Galileo or the Scopes Monkey Trial over teaching Darwin in schools, seem to imply that religion and science are incompatible. More recently, writers like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and other 'New Atheists' have been vigorous in their condemnation of the anti-scientific bias of religious fundamentalism. But if we take a broader view beyond these fundamentalisms, if we ask about the human inclination towards spiritual practice in general, do we still have to find the same antagonism? The answer, I think, is a definitive "No." And that answer is important as we consider the totality of what it means to be human.

First, it's important to distinguish between religion and what I'll call spiritual practice. In his excellent book "Sapiens," Yuval Noah Harari defines religion as "a system of human norms and values that is founded in the belief in a superhuman order." There are two parts of this definition that are important for our discussion. First is the "system of human norms." That phrase points to a lot of stuff, but it also means politics. There is an aspect of organized religion that has always been about establishing and enforcing social norms: Who is an authority; who justifies who is in charge; who marries whom; who tells you how to behave. This aspect of religion is about power within social hierarchies.

The second part of Harari's definition refers to a "superhuman order." Note that he does not say a "supernatural" order. Why? Because some religions like Buddhism don't pivot around the existence of an all-powerful deity. This distinction is important because it allows you to see a point many scholars of religion have made after looking at the long human history of what I'll call spiritual endeavor. From our beginnings as hunter-gathers, we have always been responding to a sense of a "superhuman order." That response has taken many different forms from beautiful paintings on cave walls to beautiful paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

In my first book, I looked in depth at this response, its history, and its relation to science. Even though I consider myself an atheist, experiences of a superhuman order have been with me since I was a kid. Heck, that's what science was to mean order expressible in mathematics beyond the purely human. In fact, many of my deepest experiences of being alive had come to me through my scientific practice. Working through some line of mathematical reasoning or encountering some image of a nebula or galaxy, I'd get thrust into an overwhelming sense of the universe's presence, of its perfect unity and wholeness. At first, I saw the laws of physics as the source of that order but as I got older my focus widened.

Now, one could say that my experiences were "just awe" and nothing more. But as the great scholar of religion, Rudolph Otto noted, awe is the essential component of a spiritual experience. It is an encounter with what other scholars have called "sacredness."

So, what are we to make of these words "spiritual" and "sacred"? Some strident atheists recoil at these terms because they believe they must entail a belief in supernatural entities. This is a mistake. Both can point to something much broader. Rather than ontological claims about what exists in the universe, spiritual and sacred can describe the character of an experience. Instead of a "thing", they can refer to an attitude or an approach. This is the central point William James made in his masterwork "The Varieties of Religious Experience." To speak about sacredness is to understand that some experiences (the birth of your child, coming upon a silent forest glade, hearing a powerful symphony) evoke an order that is more than just our thoughts about that order. And to speak of "the spiritual" can call to the highest aspects of the human spirit: compassion, kindness, empathy, generosity, love.

This kind of understanding of spiritual and sacred have always been with us and they may, or may not, have anything to do with a particular religion. This is where we can draw a distinction between a spiritual practice and a religious one. In a spiritual practice, people purposely attempt to deepen their lived sense of the superhuman order they experience. It is, literally, a practice. You work on it every day, perhaps using meditation or ritual or service to others. The methods differ but the daily application and aspiration are the same.

The important point is that spiritual practice has a purpose: transformation. It is to become a person who lives in accord with that sense of experienced order, that sacredness. Such a lifelong aspiration and effort can happen within an individual religious tradition if there are domains within that tradition that truly support this kind of interior work. Unfortunately, the politics of religion can sometimes keep this from happening. As scholars Joseph Campbell, Walter Houston Clark, and others have said, church can be a "vaccination" against the real thing.

It's also possible to build such a practice outside of established religious tradition. In that case, the difficulty comes in inventing forms that can support a lifelong practice. There is something to be said for traditions or rituals that have endured for many generations and the best of these often occur within some religious traditions.

The bottom line is human beings have felt the need for spiritual practice for a long, long time. That means that even as participation in traditional religions drops, people claiming to be "spiritual but not religious" and people who embrace science continue to grow. The writer Annika Harris and her spouse New Atheist Sam Harris are, for example, strong defenders of science. They have also both written about the importance of contemplative practice in their lives.

I have long argued that science is one way that the aspiration to know the true and the real is expressed. It is one way we express that sense of an order beyond us. But there are other ways that go beyond descriptions and explanation, and all of them make up the totality of being human. That means you can embrace science in all its power and still embed it within the larger context of human experience. All of us can be entirely faithful to the path of inquiry and honesty that is science while making it one aspect of a practice meant to embrace the fullness of your experience as a human in this more-than-human world.

In a video that went viral again over the weekend, a Catholic priest made it clear he would never give Joe Biden communion until he repented for being pro-choice (not that Biden was asking him for any favors.)

The political-rant-disguised-as-a-sermon was delivered by Rev. William Kosco of St. Henry Catholic Church in Buckeye, Arizona on February 7. The full sermon is here, but the key excerpt is below:

if you are pro-abortion, I am tempted to ask you to leave St. Henry Parish. Leave this parish. [Im] tempted to say that, because then I think, Where would you go?

This is not just this parish that teaches this, this is the Catholic Church. The holy Catholic Church of God that teaches this. What parish would accept your views? Sadly, you would find one, and that is an indictment against the bishops. God help that parish that would let your ideas foster in their parish.

And so instead, I will not ask you to leave. Why? Because this may be your only chance to repent. To change your mind and to come to know the truth and finally embrace it. So I wont ask you to leave. This is your chance for salvation.

You are welcome here even if youre pro-abortion, but your ideas are not welcome here, and they will be given no quarter.

The same with Joe Biden. Hes a Catholic. Hes a member of the family. If, for some reason, he would be in Buckeye on a Sunday, Joe Biden is welcome to come to Mass here. His ideas are not welcome here.

And if you ask me a follow-up question: Would you give him communion? No. Over my dead body. Not until he repents. Hes a public figure. He needs to publicly repent, and we need to pray for his conversion.

Nothing like the member of an organization that facilitates child sex abuse telling everyone Joe Biden is a bad Catholic because he dares to let women control their own bodies.

The threat of not getting communion is also absurd, like an evangelical Christian condemning an atheist to Hell. It wont hurt me, but it says a lot about you.

Every few years, and especially recently for obvious reasons, we hear about a Catholic priest denying communion to a pro-choice politician. Its silly every time they do it, mostly because 48% of the people who call themselves Catholic also support abortion rights. Unless Kosco wants to purge the Church of everyone who rejects the Churchs narrow-minded theology and he clearly does most practicing Catholics are just picking and choosing which rules to follow. The same could be said about same-sex marriage.

The irony of Koscos rant is that Biden has repeatedly said hes against abortion privately, just not when it comes to public policy, though even the latter took a lot of work on the part of progressive groups. So its bizarre that this is the hill priests like this guy are choosing to die on. If they really wanted to punish people who violate Catholic principles, they should be looking in the other direction of the hierarchy.

Good luck, by the way, finding a sermon in which Kosco trashes Trump and other Republicans for making it more difficult for women to access contraception so that they dont get pregnant against their will.

When the Catholic Church is mad at you for putting womens health over tribal mythology, youre on the right track.

Here are some words on science, religion and the reality of beliefs. Even if we cannot conclusively prove either that God does exist or that He doesnt, it doesnt follow that the belief that God exists is just as reasonable or unreasonable as the belief that He doesnt. If there are very good grounds for supporting God exists and little reason to suppose He doesnt, it is far more reasonable to believe in God than it is to deny Gods existence.

Conversely, there might be powerful evidence that God doesnt exist, and little reason to suppose He does, in which case atheism may be far the more reasonable position to adopt. We should not allow the fact that neither belief can be conclusively proved to obscure the fact that one believe might be much more reasonable than the other.

Unfortunately, theists sometimes respond to atheists arguments by pointing out that, as the atheist has not conclusively proved there is no God, belief in God must be reasonable after all. Actually, even if the atheist cant conclusively prove there is no God, they might still succeed in showing that belief in God is very unreasonable indeed, perhaps as unreasonable as a belief in fairies or leprechauns. Pointing out the absence of proof against belief does not push it much up of the scale of reasonableness. People can have true beliefs without having any evidence or justification for them. (Look at politics.) Thats not true knowledge, you need evidence for a belief, and evidence needs truth.

Evidence shows the scale of reasonablenesses is on the high side of science. Religious ideas are the oldest, strongest and most urgent wishes for some of mankind. Unfortunately, no human has physically proven a thing about a creator.

Where as some scientific theory is confirmed by available evidence that helps mankind sustain 8.5 billion on this rock. Without science we would have no advantage over nature. And like Plato stated, If people neglect education, they walk lame for the rest of their lives.

And for the record, I believe in the concept of Deism, but with no evidence to make my belief true, I understand reality rules over unproven beliefs, until proven different. The ambiguity of beliefs makes one crazy world.

By Al Alexander| For The Patriot Ledger

Like an antithesis of The Exorcist, the chilling, darkly funny Saint Maud imagines in utter horror the what ifs of a pretty, traumatized young woman possessed not by the devil, but God. Obviously, evangelicals need not apply. But perhaps they should. In many ways, Rose Glass targets her holy, er wholly, original spine-tingler at the fervency of members of the religious right who feel it a duty to inflict their beliefs upon others like it or not.

And in so doing, the first-time writer-director presents a credible scenario in which proselytizing inevitably leads to combustibility, both of the soul and the flesh. And, yes, there are most definitely sexual undertones in which the Rapture is rapturously orgasmic. But before condemning Glass to hell, know she also applies the rod to heathens quick to condemn the faithful, assuring that in the quirky parable she creates, no one gets out alive.

It no doubt took more than a week for her astute script to undergo a genesis so divine its tough to avert your eyes from the biblical tug of war waged between a deeply troubled hospice nurse and her new patient, a cancer-ridden atheist simultaneously charmed and repulsed by her curious caregivers piety. The former is the Maud of the title, a reference to the canonized 10th-century queen of Germany, the patron saint of misbehaving children. Shes played with pure abandon by little-known Welshactress Morfydd Clark (Love & Friendship), whose pallid face and far-away eyes inform the instability of a woman in desperate need of psychiatric aid.

Perhaps its because of the ravages of spinal lymphoma that her client, Amanda (Jennifer Ehle, superb), cannot recognize the depravity lurking within her peculiar new caregiver. Bravely, she fancies herself the cat and Maud the mouse in a spiteful game of diminishing spiritualitys validity. Abetting Amanda, a once celebrated dancer-choreographer, is her pretty new lover, Carol (Lily Fraser), a female gigolo with conniving eyes expressing love for her paramours riches.

Maud, naturally, takes exception to this lustful liaison to a degree you know things will not end well. Besides, she harbors a bit of a platonic crush on Amanda herself, especially after the latter gifts her a book of poetry by William Blake, a writer who famously dissed organized religion for not allowing followers to think for themselves. Any similarities between those thoughts and evangelicals are purely intentional. But thats hardly Glass lone intent.

Rather, shes more interested in religion as a means of guilt-fueled self-destruction illustrated by Mauds steady dive into madness and self-mutilation. With a huge assist via Adam Janota Bzowskis terrifying score and Ben Fordesmans liberal use of sexually charged religious imagery, Mauds fall from grace is a riveting spectacle for the senses. Its shocking and disturbing, but its often oddly beautiful, especially the colorful exteriors shot amid the carnival-like atmosphere of the seaside community of Scarborough where the story is set.

Kudos, too, go to set designer Paulina Rzeszowska for creating evocative eerie interiors, both in Amandas gothic mansion on a hill and Mauds sparse, tellingly subterranean hovel of an apartment. Both venues reek of dread, despair and death. Yet, I often found myself laughing hysterically, particularly during Mauds encounters with a former co-worker in Lily Knights Joy, who is as slack jawed as we by the oddball she knows only as Katie. Katie, Maud? What gives? I wont say, just know the two pals share a very dark experience from their past. Very dark!

True, Saint Maud'' might not be your conventional horror picture, but its no less successful at raising goosebumps. Glass clearly is an expert in mood-setting and manipulation. You give yourself over to her willingly as she boldly suggests too muchand too little religion can only end badly, stigmata or not. Bloody good, I say.

Horror flick 'Saint Maud' will scare the devil out of you - The Patriot Ledger

We can always count on Jason Whitlock to make a statement that will cause some type of conversation! According to The Blaze, in an interview with Fox News Tucker Carlson, Whitlock stated that he likens the Black Lives Matter movement to the Ku Klux Klan and says that BLM is a Marxist organization.

During the conversation between the two conservative pundits, Carlson asked Whitlock what he compares Black Lives Matter to and was met with this statement.

Well, I compare Black Lives Matter to the KKK. I really do, Whitlock replied. And some people dont understand it, but if you go back to the 1860s, after the Emancipation Proclamation, the KKK was started, and it was the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. And whats the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party right now? Black Lives Matter and Antifa. They will come to your home and violate your home, try to intimidate the people in your home if they disagree with you politically.

He then says, Black Lives Matter [is] a Marxist organization. Marxism is hostile toward religion; thats why Im glad you went there today. These are atheist values being expressed from our leaders, demonizing individual citizens here in America, branding them as white supremacists because we disagree with their opinion about something.

Jason Whitlock to Tucker: I compare Black Lives Matter to the KKK you go back to the 1860s after the Emancipation Proclamation the KKK was started, it was the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. Whats the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party right now? BLM & antifa! pic.twitter.com/29soKBlhYA

Whitlock doubled down on his statement when he followed up and stated this:

Its my belief that the KKK and BLM share the same intent. They use race, intimidation, violence, and property destruction to achieve political goals on behalf of the Democratic Party.

Cultural changes and technological advances explain the difference in tactics between the KKK of old and its modern-day successor, BLM. Burning buildings have replaced burning crosses. Social media lynch mobs destroy a persons character, strike fear, and silence dissent.

Heres my response to people who dont understand my BLM-KKK analogy. https://t.co/aC7tHUkFH4

Yes, America is divided. No, it is not new. America was greatly divided during the Revolutionary War. What is new today is that our agenda-driven leftist media is the one driving that division even deeper.

At every opportunity, the agenda-driven anti-Trump media hammered the president by twisting words and facts, amplifying the Democrat narrative that President Trump is a racist and misogynist. The consistent badgering of President Trump fed the angry Democrat mob with misinformation, while the mischaracterization of Trump outraged his supporters.

More: Have an opinion? Submit a Letter to the Editor

More: LETTER: USA 2.0 must emerge unified

The stark political chasm was measured by a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll that reported 80 percent think the U.S. is divided and 90 percent feel the division is a serious problem. The high percentage of political division was consistent among political, geographic, and demographic groups.

Far too many news stories read like a commentary, not news. Consider the first sentence in the news article reporting Massachusetts Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warrens claim of Native American ancestry: President Trump has shown delight in talking about womens bodies, whether its their blood, their reproductive organs or their figures. And often communicates racial dog whistles to his base of loyal white supporters.

Titles are also written to form negative opinions. Consider this one from the News Herald of January 22, 2021: Bidens action ends Trumps Muslim travel ban. The ban did not target Muslims. The ban made no distinction based on religion and would equally apply to any Christian or atheist traveling from these countries.

The purpose of the travel ban is never mentioned in The News Herald article terrorism which primarily was exported by these banned nations. Also not mentioned is the fact that terrorism decreased dramatically during the Trump administration. But that doesnt give agenda-driven writers an opportunity to tweak the noses of what they consider to be an illiterate, ungrateful, anti-intellectual rabble.

Yes, Im old-fashioned. So old that my journalism teacher used the seven questions Who, What, Why, When, Where, How, How Much and opinion belongs on the Opinion Page, not news stories.

And media cant understand why Americans dont trust it.
