God isn't real!?

Reflection

C.S. Lewis famously moved from atheism to faith partly through the realisation that his very objection to God, that the world is unjust, assumed an objective standard of justice that atheism could not provide. The argument 'God isn't real because the world is broken' quietly borrows from a moral framework only God can ground. It is worth sitting with that paradox before dismissing belief.

Questions to sit with

• Where do you think your sense of right and wrong actually comes from?
• Can a purely material universe produce real moral obligations?
• Is the existence of evil an argument against God, or actually a clue that something has gone wrong with a world that was meant to be good?
