Critical thinking ETA 5 & 6th day
Over the last two days, our Lifeclass sessions took us on a deep and reflective journey about religion, faith, and belief. It wasn’t a lecture it was more like a safe space where everyone could express what they think, question what they’ve learned, and listen to others without judgment.
We began with simple yet powerful questions What do you believe in today? What did you use to believe? What still confuses you? These questions helped us pause and truly think about how our ideas about God and religion have changed over time. For many of us, it was comforting to realize that feeling doubtful or uncertain about faith is normal. The open conversations showed that questioning doesn’t weaken belief it often makes it more personal and real.
One thing that stood out for me was how we tried to find common ground even when our views were different. Some participants believed deeply in God, others leaned toward spirituality, and a few were still searching for meaning. Yet, almost everyone agreed that values like kindness, empathy, respect, and honesty matter more than religious labels. It showed that humanity connects us before religion does.
The discussions also made me think about how the new generation approaches faith. Unlike before, we don’t always accept beliefs just because they’re traditional we want to understand why they exist. Many of us are trying to balance faith with logic, religion with personal freedom, and belief with curiosity.
By the end of the session, I realized that religion isn’t only about rituals or rules it’s about the values and reflections that shape how we live and treat others. Whether someone identifies as religious, spiritual, or even unsure, what truly matters is the willingness to listen, to think, and to grow.
Overall, these Lifeclass sessions were more than discussions about God they were conversations about being human. They reminded me that faith doesn’t need to be certain to be meaningful, and that respect for different beliefs can lead to deeper understanding.
