DAY 2 - Believers, Questioners, Non-Believers and some BIG Questions

Have YOU found what you're looking for?  First thing we did was ask some questions through Bono and U2's "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".

We separated ourselves into three floor groups: Believers, Non-Believers and Questioners.  The class was more or less equally split.  The discussion that followed was very enjoyable - everyone had the opportunity to ask and answer questions about their own belief systems and many people offered their personal opinions about why they have (or don't have) whatever belief system they have.

We raised, for the first time, some of the "big questions" that most World Religion grapple with, including:

"What happens after you die?"
"Where and how did all this start?"
"What meaning is there to my life?"
"Where do I turn in times of difficulty?"
"Why do you believe or not believe?"
"Why are there people? [such high level thinkers]"?
"Why is there an urge to believe?"
"What about evolution?"
"What started religions?"
"Do things happen for a reason?"
