Analytical Blog Post #1 is due by 4:59 pm May 22 . You can start your blog by following the directions

Your first blog post is worth 20 points. It should address the question: what type of explanation (spiritual or scientific) do you think best explains the crime profiled here: https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/05/01/dc-savopoulos-mansion-murders-why-hasnt-anyone-else-been-arrested/ (Links to an external site.)? Why? In your answer, you should make sure to define both spiritual explanations and scientific explanations, citing your textbook.

You should then address the question: based on this juror’s description here: https://www.washingtonian.com/2018/10/28/its-not-a-question-of-is-this-going-to-be-unsettling-its-a-question-of-how-unsettling-is-this-going-to-be/ (Links to an external site.), what type of explanation did the jury in the case look for? What do you think is most interesting about the juror’s comments?

Your answers will be assessed on how well they address the questions posed, their inclusion of citations, and the clarity of their writing. This post is worth 20 points; late posts will receive zeros

Objectives for Quiz 7

You should be able to answer the following essay questions:

• Explain (briefly) the Bible story of Abraham. Why did Kierkegaard find it so striking?
• Religious people often say something like, “you better believe in God, or you might not get into heaven and you might go to hell!” Which philosopher presents this basic argument? (albeit, a more sophisticated version). And what are some criticisms against this argument? (as described in the reading).
• Explain why Kierkegaard’s view of faith could justify terrorist acts.
• Both James and Pascal offer pragmatic arguments for belief in God. What ideas do they have in common, and how do they differ?
• Let’s say two medieval theologians are arguing about how many angels can fit inside a thimble. One says 52 can and the other says 53 can. What would William James’ say about this issue, given his pragmatic theory of meaning?
• What is James’ argument (premises and conclusion) for religious belief? Who was James’ opponent in this debate? And what were his arguments?
• Does religious experience of God prove God exists? Give at least one argument why or why not.
• How does William James’ argument for belief resemble Pascal’s Wager? How does James’ argument differ from Pascal’s?
