Arnie Benn

Religion vs Spirituality (audio)

​

​

​

The 5 theological questions:

​
 

1. What happened at Mount Sinai?

​

2. What happens after we die?

​

3. How does God act in the world?

​

4. What is the meaning of prayer and mitzvot (observances)?

​

5. Why do bad things happen to good people?

​

 

Also addressedm the concepts of:

• survival instinct, emotion & group-think

• free will, and the definition of the kind of free will we humans actually have.

​

This talk was to a group of Jewish high school freshmen and seniors. I was one in a 5-speaker series, addressing these questions from a variety of religious perspectives, after which the students write their own personal theology.
