Hey

RE was boring

Boring

Most students have been baptised but don’t go to church. Everyone agreed that RE was dead boring : (

Call of Duty 4

Somehow someone brought up Call of Duty 4 and because a few of us play it we got to discussing all things military. Cameron shared how he has fired many of the guns on his honeymoon and that his wife shot the crotch out of the target board. We expressed our concern about his safety which he took on board.

Spirituality?

Cool assault rifle

What is it?

• What we believe

• Religion

• Something that is concerned with eternal rather than the today here and now

• Something that is concerned about the non physical

• Something that people have had wars over.

Different interpretations

We differ in our interpretation of the data/facts

One student said he followed science, facts. I pointed out that everyone uses the same facts to come to different conclusions. We agree there is a world, that we live on this world, there are trees and people and building etc. Where we differ is when we seek to understand the world, its origin and its purpose.

Some say science explains these questions best. Evolution, big bang

Others say that God made the world

Each looks at the world but they differ in their interpretation.

So all the different religions represent and different explanation of reality.

That was heavy so I hope you didn’t bust a head casket trying to follow that.

Cheers, the Rev
