In “Deeds, Not Creeds: A Heaven Without God,” psychotherapist and Self-Love Recovery Institute founder Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., tells the personal story of how he came to see heaven differently. He was raised in a non-religious Jewish family and as a teenager bought his own “heaven insurance” by trying to be good. He then went through a phase of spiritual searching before science and Carl Sagan led him to humanism. From that journey he offers a vision of immortality that costs nothing and needs no membership: heaven is the sum of the ripples we create.

Ross shows how small, everyday acts of kindness reach outward and last for generations. A smile, an open door, or a word of encouragement to a stressed parent can all start those ripples. His message is that actions matter more than intentions, that we are not our mistakes but the growth that follows them, and that every life, however small it seems, leaves a lasting mark on the world.

His presentation occurred at the Unitarian Universalists of Pensacola. For more information: https://uupensacola.org/
