Religion will NOT provide you with any answers.
Science WILL provide you with answers.
Philosophy may not provide concrete answers, but it will teach valuable lessons.

Question by hello: Have you taken a Philosophy Of Religion class?
I need to fulfill my gen-ed requirements, and this class looked interesting. The professor got good ratings on ratemyprofessor… and I’m hoping it’s kind of an easy class. Has anyone taken a similar class? was it hard?

Best answer:

Answer by Coolhand
I’ve taken it during my college years, it wasn’t that hard for me, but then I was an atheist studying at a Jesuit University so maybe that had something to do with it. Just be prepared to get into heated arguments during class discussions though, especially if you have classmates who either harbor religious zealotry tendencies or stubborn intellectual skepticism. One thing’s for sure, with all the fireworks going off during class discussions, you won’t have to worry about about falling asleep during class compared to other Philosophy classes.

Question by Master ß ƒƒƒƒ: Is religion just philosophy without freedom of thought?
My partner and I were discussing the differences between religion and philosophy.

Whereas philosophy is everchanging and malleable based upon a person’s own individual interpretation of life based on their experiences, religion is set in stone from the beginning.

She likened religion to a fly, it comes into life fully grown; you can’t ask a fly to grow new limbs or change its color, similar to the way you can’t change religious doctrine, it’s there when you emerge from the womb as-is.

Is religion just a kind of philosophy which, unlike philosophy, can’t be challenged in the here and now, but simply accepted as it has been for generations?

Best answer:

Answer by CAustin
No, religion is malleable as well (modern popular Protestant theology, for instance, is nothing like its Renaissance predecessor). It’s a curious question – the two are actually kind of difficult to distinguish.

I was going to say that in religion, there is generally a gathering place and an organized authority, but this is sometimes the case in philosophy as well (think professors), and it’s not really always the case in religion (I can think of plenty of religious people who don’t attend a church, mosque, or other such gathering).

I was also tempted to say that you sort of have to pick a religion and believe everything they tell you to be true, whereas in philosophy you construct a worldview from bits and pieces you see as good ideas, but this also isn’t always true: many people combine schools of religious thinking, and many philosophers call themselves followers of specific philosophies (e.g. Kantian ethicists, Socratic scientists, et cetera).

It’s a good question – I don’t think there’s really a good distinction between religion and philosophy, with the exception that there are certain schools of thought that we recognize as ‘religious’ (e.g. Islam) and others that we recognize as ‘philosophical’ (e.g. Platonic Republicanism).

Question by Kelly: Buddhism? Philosophy or Religion?
i was asking a question on What your personal views are on Buddhism. Some of the answers were inadequate so i have to ask again. What are your personal views on Buddhism? Have you heard of Buddhism?
Is it a religion or just a philosophy? What do YOU think?

I am a Theravada Buddhist and No you don’t need to be vegetarian to be Buddhist.

I’m a Buddhist too. To me it is much more than a philosophy because it has such powerful influence on a great number of people when philosophers influences on the people is more limited. I think thats the difference between Religion and Philosophy. Religions can bring powerful influence on people.

what are your views. Thank you for sharing.

Question by Ryan G: Should sections like Politics, Philosophy and Religion & Spirituality be exempt from the Community Guidelines?
Except for obvious things like threatening violence, spam, fraud etc.etc.

Shouldn’t these section be more free wheeling and no-holds bar? I just think the Community Guidelines don’t work in these section. They stifle debate. They enable reasonable questions to be removed for purely technical violations. What are your thoughts?

Question by bkbombshell2005: in your opinion, someone tell me how philosophy and religion correlate?
because books and articles seem to put them together as if i there the same or relate to each other…i don’t see the connection.

Best answer:

Answer by Love<3
i don’t think there is a correlation. philosophy just questions religion and other faiths, whereas religion tries to set a clear path for believers of a book. often times, philosophers are athiest…from what I’ve heard.

Answer by Zaphod_Beeblebrox
Philosophy is a subject that covers virtually everything, including the deeper questions of why we’re here, the meaning of life, or the existence of God. You can just as easily present a philosophy of why chocolate is good for your soul (or not) or even how to best play and win a game. Philosophies do not need to be profound, they just need to be based on logic, reason, and as good an understanding of the subject as you can achieve. Pick any subject that interests you, that isn’t too hard to research, that holds personal meaning for you, and of course has a meaning for Jewish people as a whole. How about the meaning and importance of ritual in an increasingly secular age, particularly in America where ritual is no longer woven into daily life as it was in more traditional times. What is your philosophy of why ritual is still important? Does it pay the bills, put food on the table or provide for the education of your children? If not, what is the practical value? Is there a practical value or is it a comforting waste of time? I say it is more valuable and meaningful, but I could be wrong.

Question by Kobe: What’s the point in majoring in philosophy?
Anyone can develop their own philosophy of life based on their own experiences. What makes learning of classics better than one’s own? It’s not like you can apply classical philosophy. Furthermore, the premises that classical philosophy is based on is not what most intellectuals would come up with today from scratch, observing how the modern world works. In order to discuss philosophical perspectives, the philosopher must find similar peers to discuss philosophical point of views, thereby demonstrating how non-universal it is.

And I don’t like how philosophers think they’re smarter than the rest of us. There are other majors that teach us to use logic and our heads, AND can be applied for practical purposes. Every philosopher in the past has been replaced with a newer one with a modified point of view. I don’t need them to tell me what’s prudent or not.

If you have to ask, obviously you don’t get it!

Years from now, once you finish your major, you’ll realize how funny that was.
