Lets Start with some light jokes!
The 1960s show Beyond the Fringe included a sketch satirizing philosophy. In it, Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett play two Oxbridge philosophers discussing the role of philosophy in everyday life. It concludes like this:
Jon: "¦ the burden is fair and square on your shoulders to explain to me the exact relevance philosophy does have to everyday life.
Alan: Yes, I can do this quite easily. This morning I went into a shop, and a shop assistant was having an argument with a customer. The shop assistant said 'yes' – 'yes', you see – and the customer said 'What do you mean, "yes"?' – and the shop assistant said, 'I mean "yes".'
Jon: This is very exciting.
Alan: Here is a splendid example in everyday life where two very ordinary people are asking each other what are in essence philosophical questions – 'What do you mean, "yes"?' – 'I mean "yes"' – and where I, as a philosopher, could help them.
Jon: And did you?
Alan: Well no – they were in rather a hurry"¦
(Bennett et al., 1987, pp. 51–2)
Like above example,it is like talking of about "Yes" that is ''God'' and then Arguing "Hey what do you mean by GOD?"( Equate ''Yes'' with ''God"
)
So,When we Talk about Religion we Talk of many 'attributes' mostly common with every Religion.
Common grounds are
1. the examination of religious experience (
Experiences later become -->
Philosophy -->Existence of GOD [Either/or-maybe kind of Situation] and then that comes into-->
Scriptures and then become -->
Tradition and then it becomes-->
Culture)
2. God is Benevolent then Why do Evil exists --> Here arises the question or Problem of Evil )
so .. Basically Religion has a common tenants! It starts with some
"Experiance"----
So, Natural Question is ------>
What is this
Experience ?
Who is Experiencing it?
What is the
means of Experiences?
etc ....
