The difficulty to be faithful to our Faith Commitments
What is wrong with you? Have you lost the entire point of this?
Our panelists talk about the difficulty of being faithful to our ethical commitments. Do we judge others more harshly than we judge ourselves? Dr. Hibbard points out that part of why Nietche rejected Christianity was that he found that Christianity was too difficult to live up to for him. A commitment to the Divine commandments cannot necessarily be easy, while at the same time we must also keep in mind our personal human needs. Dr. Hibbard says that Christians are in tension with the most challenging demands of the Christian ethic and at the same time we need to keep in mind what human flourishing requires. Ethical ideals are always somewhat unattainable. Rabbi Klein responds to that tension by pointing out that If your faith commitment only makes you feel good about yourself, then what good is that to anybody else? Raman Singh helps the panel look at the selfless serving of the langar meal by Sikhs and they consider what this can teach all of us?
