Week 4: Beyond Belief (post 9)

In the conference beyond belief session six they address religions and moralitys without religion or with religion or what one does instead or addition to. It goes onto talking about different cultures and what they may feel is missing. There is so much to do with the questions of religion these days and they addressed the many facts and different ways of looking at it from different peoples perspectives. Some people aren't afraid of speaking there minds about there religions and what they feel is the right way. She went onto talk about the question, can we do alright without God? and then she read one statement which was a biblical statement that she felt would upset some of the spectators.

It seemed to me that many people in the audience were merely keeping themselves amused by doing something other than giving her all their attention once she was reading the biblical statement that dealt with God not destroying some cities because there may be some innocent people among them and they shouldnt suffer Abraham was asking if there not be any punnishment for those who did no harm. Abraham was concerned for innocense everywhere and why should all those suffer who have no reason to be tourmented upon. Abraham was scared as well by speaking out what he needed to say, but he did it anyway. He risked Gods wrath to argue for the lives of all these innocent people, he had strong faith.
