DQ 2
“Some people claim that the universe looks as if it was designed by a good and benevolent designer only if one ignores much of reality. For example, consider this description of a horrific event from Elspeth Huxley’s autobiographical account of growing up in Africa early in the 20th century:
[Baby chicks] had hatched the day before, in the night a column of siafu, those black, purposeful, implacable, and horribly sinister warrior ants, had marched through the nest. In the morning the yellow chicks were limp, bedraggled, soiled little corpses with their insides eaten out, lying in the nest. The hen was alive, and that was the worst part of it, for the ants had swarmed over her and eaten half her flesh away and her eyes, and she lay there twitching now and then, as if to demonstrate that unreasoning persistence of life that is the very core of cruelty.
Such events are commonplace in nature.
How would you reconcile such events with the view that the universe was created by a wise, good, and benevolent creator?”
1)complete the following video assignment, which explains what contractarianism is:
“Contractarianism” Video: https://youtu.be/2Co6pNvd9mc (Links to an external site.)
These questions must be answered in your own words, and pasting answers from the video or elsewhere will result in zero credit.
1.What is contractarianism? Give your own example of contractarianism in everyday life.
2.What is the Prisoner’s Dilemma, and how does it illustrate some possible problems with contractarianism?
3.In many ways, contractarianism is the opposite of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism says that it’s okay for a small number of people to be harmed, if this helps to bring happiness to a much greater majority. Using what you learned in the video, would contractarianism agree with this? Why or why not?
2)In order to answer these questions, you must read slides 22-30 on the Carruthers PowerPoint
4.Carruthers argues that since non-human animals are not rational, they cannot participate in the creation of systems of rules and rights (a social contract), and so they cannot have rights. This obviously raises some serious concerns about human beings who are not rational, e.g. persons with severe cognitive disabilities. How does Carruthers resolve these problems? In other words, why should we grant all humans (even non-rational ones) rights, but not animals?
5.Although Carruthers believes that only humans have moral status and rights, he still thinks we shouldn’t be cruel toward animals. What reason does he give for this view? In other words, why should we care about reducing animal suffering, even if we don’t think they have rights?
DQ 1
This Chapter provides the background for “the note from Papa” requesting the meeting at The Shack. In some cases tragedy brings people closer together or closer to the divine, while on other occasions it isolates people. What happened with Mack? Why? If you would like, you can share a personal experience or one that you may have witnessed when people were either drawn closer or separated by tragedy. Do not share personal details, simply outline the circumstances and the result.
DQ 2
How is God portrayed? Why is it significant? Are you surprised? Why or why not? Any ideas about how Christianity refers to this doctrine of three individuals existing in a single entity?
Discussion Question 1
This chapter is key to the story, but hidden in the middle is a conversation about Mack’s perspective on God and Nan’s perspective on God. Talk abut how / why personal relationships can impact a person’s view of the Divine.
Discussion Question 2
