Year 10: FOSSIP/the problem for believers in God
The Homework involves two activities*:
1. Remember the FOSSIP thing?
- faith: it builds your faith (or trust) in God
- others: can be helped by you if you have experienced suffering.
- success: cannot happen without it. No pain, no gain is what they say...
- strength: lots of people who face suffering find that it makes them strong in unusual ways
- isn't pointless: there is a reason for you to go through it.
Rate these responses in order of importance, saying why.
Include if you think any aren't worth bothering with.
Have you ever seen them happening?
2. The problem of being a believer in God when suffering and evil affect you.
Explain (in your own words) the problem that was outlined for you in class and the 'solution' that Rama provided. Don't forget to say what you think.
*of course - they might have been partially covered in class, so just go along with it.
