10 VYou Shorts on Topics in Religion
38This is the seventh video composed of 10 short (2 minute or under) clips which I recorded as a user of the now defunct VYou -- an innovative social network which allowed users to record short video responses to questions and comments. This video addresses a number of different questions put to me about matters of religion -- many of them fairly general ones. All of the clips are responses recorded in various places and at different times, where I address another VYouser's questions or comments.
The video quality is not particularly good on some of these clips -- they were recorded using older webcam technology.
1:08 Question 1: Which aspects of religion or faith interest you the most in general?
3:17 Question 2: Are God and logic incompatible?
5:29 Question 3: In what way can faith be the handmaiden to reason and not its antithesis, as it strikes me sometimes?
7:37 Question 4: Did you stop believing in God when you left the church, as I did? Do you find now that you must choose to believe in a God?
9:47 Question 5: How can you believe in God when there is so much evidence against Him?
11:59 Question 6: In the Bible it says Pi is 3, which it isn't. Do you just ignore flaws like that?
13:31 Question 7: Have you come across any religions in which there is a god who is nothing more than an observer?
15:40 Question 8: Do you think that children should be taught about religion in school? As well as about evolution?
17:50 Question 9: Why do you think Christianity is the right religion when so many others are similar?
19:58 Question 10: I find it interesting how open-ended the Christian Bible's God's goal for mankind seems to be...
