Summary: <p>Listen to episode 188 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Gospel of Good Living | Agnostic Spirituality. Adapted from “What Must We Do to Be Saved” by Robert G. Ingersoll.</p><br> <p><strong>Spirituality Podcast Excerpt</strong>: <em>What do I propose? Well, in the first place, I propose good fellowship — good friends all around. No matter what we believe, let us shake hands and let it go. That is your opinion; this is mine: let us be friends. Science makes friends. Religion and superstition make enemies. Preachers say: Belief is important. I say: No, actions are important. Judge by deed, not by creed. </em></p><br> <p><em>Good fellowship, good friends, sincere men and women, mutual forbearance, born of mutual respect: that is what I propose. </em></p><br> <p><em>We have too many solemn people. Whenever I see an exceedingly solemn person, I know they are an exceedingly stupid person. No one of any humor ever founded a religion — never. Humor sees both sides. While reason is the holy light, humor carries the lantern, and the person with a keen sense of humor is preserved from the solemn stupidities of life and orthodoxy. </em></p><br> <p><em>I like men and women who have good feelings for everybody; good fellowship. I believe in the gospel of cheerfulness; the gospel of Good Nature; the gospel of Good Health. Let us pay some attention to our bodies. Take care of our bodies, and our souls will take care of themselves.</em></p><br> <p><strong>Related Spirituality Podcasts</strong>:</p><br> <p><a title="How to Be Spiritual" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/spirituality-the-art-of-living/">Spirituality &amp; The Art of Living</a></p><br> <p><a title="Wild Love" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/seeing-god-in-nature-wild-love/">Seeing God in Nature</a></p>
