Religion and Philosophy

 

 

Welcome to the Religion & Philosophy Department

She kept asking if the stories were true. I kept asking if it mattered.
We finally gave up.
She was looking for a place to stand and I wanted a place to fly.

- Brian Andreas - 'Mostly True'

We Deal with the big issues:

Why is there a universe?
What happens to us when we die? Does God Exist?
What is the best way to live our lives?
Has science removed the need for religious belief?
What are the implications of asserting that one religion, philosophy or ethical system is true and superior to all others?

Our Aims:

To help our students understand the central place that philosophical questions, religious beliefs and ethical ideas
Learn to understand the nature of human existence
Encourage our students to pursue wisdom
Help our students inform and understand their own beliefs. theistic or otherwise.
