Religion and science in conflict? Finding your own stance
What you were taught and what you read today seem to contradict each other? Questions to reflect on and who can help you find a stance that respects both.
What you were taught and what you read or experience today seem to contradict each other. You are looking for a stance that takes both seriously.
How it can show up
- What you were taught and what you read today seem to contradict each other.
- Discussions about it quickly end in arguments.
- You are afraid that doubting will cost you something important.
- You are looking for a stance that takes both seriously.
Questions for you
There are no right answers. Take the question that stays with you.
- Which question occupies you most here?
- Who could give you knowledgeable and respectful answers about it?
- Which books or discussion spaces take both sides seriously?
- What do you want to keep in any case?
What coaching can do
Coaching does not answer these questions.
When other help fits better
Conversations with scholars, teachers or religious advisers you trust, good books and open discussion groups can help you develop your own stance.
If it is too much right now
Coaching is not psychotherapy and not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact the emergency services where you are right away, or a crisis service near you.
