Essentially Questioning God: Troubling Questions For Today’s Believers and Non-Believers

Essentially Questioning God is an outreach to people of various levels of belief and faith to try to come to a cohesive understanding of the complexities of life. It takes a look at essential theological questions from the different aspects of belief and non-belief. The great questions of "Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?" (Artemus Ward) are brought to mind. The questions discussed here have troubled believers and non-believers for generations. Questions like "if there were a God how could He have let this happen?" and "what is really out there?" are immensely addressed from deism, theism, agnosticism, atheism to pantheism perspectives. .
