Belief, Faith, and Hope with Liz Jackson

Your brother has been missing for months and there is mounting evidence that he is dead. Is it rational to hope that he is alive and keep searching for him?   Is it rational to have faith in the existence of God because, if he turns out to exist, your faith may let you into heaven while a lack of faith could condemn you to hell?   Liz Jackson's public interviews: http://liz-jackson.com/public-philosophy/  Her paper on Belief, Faith and Hope: https://philpapers.org/archive/JACBFA.pdf   Thumbnail image by Jeff Lemire from Issue #1 of Royal City
