Each question will be addressed with a short talk over a FREE lunch followed by a chance to ask questions on what was said. It will be finished in time for afternoon lectures. A great chance to hear what the Bible has to say on the questions that you have asked.
Please read What Is It? to understand how we got the title for each talk.

| Big Question talks given in the past... | |
| 31st October 2008 | Where was God in Auschwitz?
Durham students asked... How does an all loving God allow suffering? How am I meant to believe in God when all these bad things happen? Why does God allow millions of people to be killed in natural disasters he obviously makes them. Why would God create and allow a world with 'sin'? |
| 21st November 2008 | Is hell real and is it fair?
Durham students asked... Isn't God's 'Judgement' often little more than genocide and totally unfair? Doesn't the idea of hell seem medieval? Doesn't it just promote fear and control? What is hell? Why should it concern me? |
| 12th December 2008 | Is God homophobic?
Durham students asked... Isn't the bible homophobic? How dare you say that homosexuality is wrong? How can you believe such a dangerous text? I've recently found myself sexually attracted to a friend (like me, male). Does God hate me? |
| 23rd January 2009 | What would Jesus say to Catholics?
Durham students asked... Why Doesn't DICCU believe in Catholics? Why won't DICCU welcome Catholics? What would Jesus think of the Pope? I'm a catholic if I died tonight would I get into heaven? How can one man really be God's representative on earth, surely the pope is only human? |
| 6th February 2009 | Why won't DICCU leave me alone?
Durham students asked... Why does DICCU care so much? Why do you insist on me changing the way I live? Why must DICCU impose its views on others all the time? Why can't you just quit bothering us? Where does it say in the bible that Christians should be as open and, at times, imposing as the diccu is? |
| 13th March 2009 | Can God forgive a Hitler?
Durham students asked... If Harold Shipman had 'believed on Jesus' you lot think he would be in heaven, yet (who didn't) Gandhi won't. How is that fair? If a serial paedophile and rapist repents on his deathbed, does he go to heaven? |
