Questions for Reflection

• Do you remember a time when you realized the world was not as it should be?
• What are the two broad categories that describe the ways in which our relationships with God and each other are disrupted or distorted? What are some ways these forms of idolatry manifest in our culture? In our personal lives?
• What do you think of the idea that awareness of the difference between good and evil grows over time? Do we have a responsibility to actively engage with growing and maturing in our awareness?
