Watch video of 'Life's Too Short of Pretend You're Not Religious' by David Dark on February 15th, 2017. “Life’s Too Short to Pretend You’re Not Religious” with instructor David Dark is being offered as part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s Winter 2017 curriculum. Course description: For many of us, the word “religion” evokes thoughts of brainwash, violence, and tiresome conversations. Why not be done with it? We’re often admonished to keep religion out of politics (or vice-versa), but human life won’t divide itself up quite so neatly. We can perhaps be forgiven for wanting to rope off one issue from the other, but these divisions can obscure the living fact of certain connections and often leave us estranged from our own sense of ourselves and insulated from the possibility of undivided living. It’s time to talk about it. Maybe life’s too short not to. For more information, visit www.vanderbilt.edu/olli.
