“God and the Origin of the Universe” is a topic that interests me because I was raised in a very religious home. I was taught that God exists and that is that. Why would anyone question it? It’s a known fact. Well if someone were to ask me right now whether or not I could say with 100% certainty whether or not God exists, the answer would be no. I have a very open mind, and I would like to see what I can learn on this subject through this class. I look forward to reading more on this subject in the weeks that follow.

“The Problem of Evil” is another topic that interests me, perhaps for a more diabolical reason. There can be no light without darkness, no up without down, and no good without evil. Does it not stand to reason that evil must be, at least at some time and to some degree, necessary? I sometimes find joy in doing “evil” so it would be nice to have the argument that what I am doing could actually help bring about some good. I mean really, who wants to be good all the time? It just gets boring after a while, doesn’t it?

Joe, I admire that you are willing to explore such a controversial subject as religion, and the existence of God, even though you were raised in a religious home. I'll be very curious to read your blog as the weeks pass by. I encourage you to invite friends and family members to read and comment on your blog, too, it would be interesting to see what they have to say about these topics. :) Karla
I totally feel the same way, kinda. After being raised catholic for most of my life, the more I went to church the more I started to doubt.
