Chance to better theism
#20
RE: Chance to better theism
Along the lines of broadening their perspectives, perhaps they should be made aware of subjectivist philosophical positions (Ie: nihilism and existentialism. Of course, this is assuming that are either not aware of such, or that that don't understand the positions in the first place)?

If the class is mostly for young adults, I would think illustrating subjectivity quite informative (from my experience of having introduced myself once to a college class as an existential nihilist, and seeing collective cluelessness regarding such). Failure to understand that their views are not necessarily the views of others is a great part of what makes many religious people difficult to talk to.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
