How Stupid Do You Have to Be to Believe in God, Alexander Fink, Free Master Class Saturday, 22 March

Our next FREE Forum Master Class will be with Alexander Fink on How Stupid Do You Have to Be to Believe in God?►bit.ly/3QBXYGg

***How Stupid Do You Have to Be to Believe in God?***

‘You believe in God? Even in the God of the Bible? Are you stupid?’ If you are in frequent contact with atheists at your workplace or in your neighbourhood, these questions might sound familiar to you. Many people claim that either you are a rational person or you can have blind faith in God. In this Master Class, we want to debunk this myth. We will argue why plausibility is worldview-dependent. We will have a look at how shortcut arguments usually get the whole thing wrong. And we will examine arguments for a personal God and for the Christian God especially. After this Master Class, you should be equipped to respond in an inviting manner to the above questions.

1. A Matter of Worldview

2. A Matter of Argumentation

3. Is Faith the Opposite of Reason?

4. Arguments for a Personal God

5. Arguments for the Christian God
