no that's great.
Atheistic arguments are so broad so if you focused on specific arguments (as I did with dawkins and new atheism) that is fine as is looking at atheistic arguments more generally e.g the problem of evil and suffering which is an argument held by atheists to prove God's non existence.
This seemed like a less popular question but I revised atheism so just chose this.

Oh good haha I've been panicking because I forgot to mention problem of evil at all, did anyone else do psychological arguments against religious belief? One of my paragraphs was completed dedicated to Jung and Freud's arguments for religious belief being a psychological condition and not truth but I haven't really heard others talking about it

How likely is free will and determinism to come up in the first section because I really don’t understand any of free will it all just sounds like Augustine’s theodicy to me

That is also valid :smile:

I didn't mention that though.

I actually think it will be theme 3 this year (fingers crossed). If you have time now, just go over Pelagius as they haven't done him yet :smile:

Surely, describing the challenges (or conversely, strengths) are simple enough? There's no memorisation needed, just analyse it critically. Or do you mean that there are scholar-specific challenges we need to know?

No, the general challenges are sufficient :smile:
Mentioning scholars is more of an A02 question imo

Guys I’ve only revised theme 1 of ethical egoism and naturalism, theme 2 of natural law aquinas and the applications and I’ve done theme 3 of utilitarianism and situation ethics and haven’t touched theme 4 but good luck I am soo finished

Reply 455

Hoping my effort in the Philosophy paper and most of the Christianity paper carry me, honestly.

Reply 456

I really hope theme 4 doesn't come up, I'd say I can write at least smth for the other themes but theme 4 I would have no idea what to put haha

I'm in the exact same position, I think revising Pelagius quickly would be safe as he hasn't come up before but thats all I'm gonna do. If it is section A I'm cooked but people don't think it will come up so we should be good!
