Step
we are on: Step Two
Chapter:
"We Agnostics"
Subject:
Faith, Intellect, Worship, Logic, Reason
Good morning. We are seeing how the co-authors of the Big Book compared our human reasoning with spiritual faith.
- What proved to be more powerful than our power of reasoning? Two sentences
How much did these feelings, these loves, these worships, have to do with pure reason? Little or nothing, we saw at last.
(Note: When you found yourself in trouble based of decisions you made, were those
decisions based on good judgment or
emotions?)
- On what were our lives constructed?
Were not these things the tissue out of which our lives were constructed?
- Did acting on our feelings really shape our existence?
Did not these feelings, after all, determine the course of our existence?
- After reviewing the truth, what could we not say?
It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or worship.
- On what have we and do we live by?
In one form or another we had been living by faith and little else.
Tomorrow
- What would life be without faith? (Two sentences)
- Do we believe in life?
- Can we prove life in a purely scientific manner?
- Can we say the details of our universe mean nothing? (The rest of paragraph)
- So, is our reasoning the last word?
- How dependable is reasoning, the way we use it?
Peace and Love,
