It's time for another Spiritual Quandaries panel discussion, this time on Monotheism.

Monotheism is the belief in the existence of only one god that created the world, a god that is all-powerful and intervenes and interacts (where appropriate). A broader definition of monotheism is the belief in one god. 

Our questions:

1. Would a single Religion fix disunity around the world? 
2. Isn’t this already the case, I mean most religions appear to have similar mythology – just the gods or goddesses names are different?
3. Would giving all of the people a single god to honour (and a set of rules/commandments to follow) wouldn’t this mean the world could be a more civilised and happy place?
4. Do you think religion is still a vital ingredient for life on Earth at this time? 

Now, enjoy the show…

On this podcast we will be sharing some highlights from an early interview in 2017 with Damien John Nott and Melissa Kennedy of Australian Aerial Phenomena Investigations (AAPI).  

Damien John Nott was born in 1979 in Sydney, Australia and grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney. His story came to public attention in 2012 after contacting a UFO research organisation in an attempt to find an answer to his ongoing experiences with the UFO phenomenon. These experiences peaked in the small country town of Dunedoo but not before his first sighting at the young age of 9 which spurred him towards a lifelong endeavour to research and understand what he was to later discover, is the most misunderstood and ridiculed subject in the world today. He has since amassed a prolific body of work documenting his encounters that remain to date, unexplained and unparalleled in the field of ufology. 

Melissa Kennedy has been involved with AAPI since 2013. Her background is in office administration but her deeper interests have always involved the true nature of our reality, the paranormal and other phenomena. Melissa has witnessed over 60 sightings many of which have been captured on camera. She is presently working on a book detailing the extraordinary experiences she has shared with Damien and a short biography of his life to date.
