Challenges to Faith
Reflection
-
-
Theism
belief in God, monotheistic faiths believe in one God
Christians believe God shown through Jesus, Jewish through Abraham then Moses, Muslims through Muhammad
Atheism
denial of the existence of God, no higher power, no Gods, no heaven or hell, no religious rules or relationship with God
reasons
-
-
non-religious society, lost faith, nonsense
-
Secularism
-
public figures should not mention God in speeches, McAleese mentioned God a lot in first term, second term asked to stop
most important that religion play no part in laws, people should be free to choose religion or no religion and that they should be treated equally
-
Agnosticism
the belief that there is not enough evidence to support God's existence or to disprove God's existence
-
-
Materialism
belief that only real things that can be seen, smelt and felt are real, don't believe in God because he isn't material
-
-
Individualism
value independence and self-reliance, individuals more important than state or social group
believe people should not take into account societies views on their decisions, great value on privacy
-
Religion and Science
difficult relationship, people thought you can only believe in one
arguments between theologians and scientists, they had different view points
science based on on facts and evidence, religion based on faith and trust in the unknown
one specific thing was creation, people believed only in what religion taught and were afraid of science
Creation
-
-
Working together
work of Galileo and Darwin led to division, eventually accepted their theories
healthy relationship now, people can believe in both, science teaches how, religion teaches why
-
-
fundamentalists against science totally, liberal thinkers explain that Genesis was trying to help
