I feel like that religions generally ask the biggest questions. They may not always have the best answers, but they're the zone of human activity that regularly asks the biggest questions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The beauty of Judaism is that it demands we ask questions, especially of ourselves.
When people feel a certain religion claims to have all the answers, that's what turns them off.
Religion gives you a sense of certainty. It makes you feel that you have the right answers to really big questions and that you've grasped the truth.
I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.
And what is religion, you might ask. It's a technology of living.
I like the big questions.
With the Jews, the questions are always open; we're always questioning. I love that questioning tradition.
I would argue that religion comes from a desire to get to the questions of, 'Where do we come from?' and 'How shall we live?' And I would say I don't need religion to answer those questions.
Religion survives because it answers three questions that every reflective person must ask. Who am I? Why am I here? How then shall I live?
Religion deals in certainties and philosophy deals more in un-answered questions.
