Chapter 4: Prompt

Whether you are personally religious or not, one of the biggest questions philosophy attempts to answer is the existence of God. Many philosophers have tried to tackle the question of God’s nature and existence for millennia without conclusive evidence, contributing to our present-day search for answers.

For this discussion, consider the following: Is religion important to you? If so, how might prayer help someone (whether daily or in a jam)? Can one pray even if not especially religious? From what or to whom do you draw strength when challenges arise in one’s life?  How might you think of “spirituality” compared to “religion”? Lastly, do you believe in an afterlife? What do you believe happens after this life is over? You can choose any or all of the above prompts to share your thoughts and feelings about religion.
