Question1).What about Leibniz (407)? Did he believe in God or not? Was his belief (whether God exists) based on reason or faith? Explain.

Question2.)Thanks for this reasoned view of reasoned religious beliefs. It sounds a lot like Pascal's wager (p. 426), rather that real faith. According to the wager, we have nothing to lose by believing. If we believe and there is no God, no harm done. But of we don't believe and there is a God... uh oh. Pascal's wager is belief as hedging your bets rather than true acceptance of God. What do you think?

Question3.) My question to you is what do you think about Hume's claim on page 413 of chapter 13 (A verbal dispute?) that theists and atheists are not really that different? I did not really understand this particular claim, but would love to hear your views about what it means to be an atheist.

Question4.) Is God male or female (or neither)? How do you know? What difference does it make?

Question5.)The question I have for you and the class is this: Did Mary Daly really ban male students from her class, or were the male students just not interested in being taught by a feminist who thought less of male gender?
