Ep. 64 The Question of God: Human Belief

<p><strong>In the fifth installment of our season on the question of God, Ryan examines the holistic nature of human belief, demonstrating that belief is not simply a matter of the mind, but a matter of the heart, the will, and personal experience.<br></strong><br></p>"<em>...the cognitive dimension is not everything; faith and doubt, affirmation of God and rejection of God, are not always based on intellectual issues. Personality, background, and how a person is wired all play a huge role in both theistic and atheistic belief. Belief involves the whole person—not just the mind, but one’s experience, one’s heart, and one’s will."</em><p><br><strong>About Ryan, Host of </strong><strong><em>Thinker Sensitive</em></strong><strong>:<br></strong><br>Ryan Ragozine is the host of <em>Thinker Sensitive</em>.
