The God decision
For Monday, read chapter 5 in the dialogue book on suffering. We will discuss this chapter and related issues and readings midterm week, including these readings: "A Tale of Twelve Officers" and "African-American Philosophy of Religion and the Many Problems of Evil"
Midterm writing essay, due Friday 3/7.
Short assignment: pick a different argument that what you discussed earlier and write a paper clearly stating and explaining the argument, some of the main objections to it, and whether the argument sound or not. Thus, a different version of this assignment, done in an even better way than before:
Your assignment is to clearly and accurately explain one of the arguments for God's existence discussed in these chapters, in a manner so that someone who was not familiar with these arguments would understand. You must also explain at least two objections and whether you think the argument is sound or not.
Your writing must have these section in the paper; these sections must explicitly be in the paper
A Title (Give your paper an informative title)
