This is not a youth group resource for use with young people, although some parts of it might be useful, but more of one for youth group leaders in their own personal reflection.

The Gods Aren’t Angry is taken from a series of talks that Rob Bell (from the Nooma DVDs) delivered in 2008. He tackles the huge question of where did religion come from. Their publicity states:

Where did the first caveman or cavewoman get the idea that somebody, somewhere existed who needed to be worshipped, appeased, and followed?

And how did the idea evolve that if you didn’t say, do, or offer the right things, this being would be upset, agitated, or even angry with you?

Where did religion come from?
