Presentation transcript:

How we see God… We are learning to ….. Consider why there are many different understandings of what God is like.

So that I can… Outline different ideas that people have about God (B1). Explain clearly why people have different beliefs about God. (B2) Enquire how different religious groups show their belief in God. (B3)

What we think God is like Working in groups of 4 share your ideas of what God is like. Create a presentation of your ideas and share them with the class. B1

What do you see? Look at the picture on the sheet. What do you see? What do you think this might suggest about different religions?

The Blind Men and the Elephant Once upon a time, five blind men came upon an elephant. "What is this?!" asked the first one, who had run headlong into its side. "It's an Elephant." said the elephant's keeper, who was sitting on a stool, cleaning the elephant's harness. "Wow! So this is an Elephant I've always wondered what Elephants are like!" said the man, running his hands as far as he could reach up and down the elephant's side. "Why, it's just like a wall! A large, warm wall!“ "What do you mean, a wall?" said the second man, wrapping his arms around the elephant's leg. "This is nothing like a wall. You can't reach around a wall! This is more like a pillar. Yeah, that's it! An Elephant is exactly like a pillar!“ "A pillar? Strange kind of pillar!“ said the third man, stroking the elephant's trunk. "It's too thin, for one thing, and it's too flexible for another. If you think this is a pillar, I don't want to go to your house! This is more like a snake. See, it's wrapping around my arm! An Elephant is just like a snake!”

The Blind Men and the Elephant "Snakes don't have hair!" said the fourth man in disgust, pulling the elephant's tail. "You are closer than the others, but I'm surprised that you missed the hair. This isn't a snake, it's a rope. Elephants are exactly like ropes.“ "I don't know what you guys are on!" the fifth man cried, waving the elephant's ear back and forth. "It's as large as a wall, all right, but thin as a leaf, and no more flexible than any piece of cloth this size should be. I don't know what's wrong with all of you, but no one except a complete idiot could mistake an Elephant for anything except a sail!” And as the elephant stepped aside, they tramped off down the road, arguing more loudly and violently as they went, each sure that he, and he alone, was right; and all the others were wrong.

I think people have different ideas about what God is like because… B2
