Abstract

From God to Allah to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, we humans have consistantly demonstrated how much we want and need to believe. But what is the source of that desire? How does believing in something change our lives, or lives in the past? Why do we band together, in order to do our believing in groups? How do we differentiate between religious faith and rational choice? Do we choose to believe, or does belief choose us? These and other questions will be addressed by our speakers, through objects, film and personal journeys.
