Among the questions we will consider: What is meant by the term "God?" Are there strong rational grounds for belief in the existence of God? If God exists, why is there so much suffering in the world? Is eternal life possible or even desirable? What are we to make of the varieties of religious experience? If religion is a force for good in the world, why has it engendered so much pain, death, and destruction? What might religion teach us about human nature? </p><p>This class is being held online, interactive through Zoom. You can choose to enable your camera and audio, or just view the live content.
