Discussion:WORLD RELIGIONS
Question: Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad
Imagine Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad bump into each other in a café about a half hour before sunset during the month of Ramadan and end up talking for a couple hours. What would they each order?
What would they disagree about?
What would they agree about?
What do you think they'd talk about, apart from agreements and disagreements?
Questions: The Goal of Life
Every religion we covered had a different goal for human life. Discuss:
1. What were those goals, for each of the religions we covered (Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam)?
2. Imagine for a second five people, each of whom are practicing their religion really well. Which of the five do you think has the best shot at reaching their goal - which religion's goal seems most achievable? Which seems least likely to reach their goal - which religion's goal seems the hardest to reach? Why?
