#2 - Risky Religion with Haywood Glover

Why would anyone take a leap of faith? What is proper worship? Haywood Glover discusses why one should always question their beliefs and not fall blindly into following a particular religion or person. We talk about the flaws in religious zealotry that comes forth from a lack of intellectual scrutiny. We also discussed the racial and political divisiveness in Christianity and the self-righteous blind spots it can foster. Why would a logical naturally skeptical, risk-averse person choose faith?

"The five lifestyles or values that Ecclesiastes tries are precisely the five tried in all ages and cultures, from ancient Hinduism's 'Four Wants of Man' through Augustine's Confessions to modern existentialist novels like Sartre's La Nausee and Hesse's Siddhartha." - "You Can Understand the Bible" by Peter Kreeft

"In a Pit with Lion on a Snowy Day" by Mark Batterson

Why fear God? German theologian and philosopher Rudolf Otto describes it as the "Mysterium Tremendum et Tascinans" - a mystery before which humanity both trembles and is fascinated is both repelled and attracted.
