In Non-Neutrality: A Personal Testimony, join Hiram R. Diaz III as he details his conversion from atheism, apostasy, and intellectual insanity to faith in the Logic of God, Jesus Christ the crucified, resurrected, and exalted Savior of

    Letter To Corn's Unbeliefs

    Most Christians have at times experienced a “crisis of faith” due to new contrasting ideals that may provoke questions (Carroll, 409). Entering college for the first time is a vulnerable time for anyone who has been brought up all their life to think and believe as they are told. College freshman, Alfred Corn, was experiencing this unfortunate crisis. (Carroll, 409) The knowledge we individually obtain throughout our livelihood constantly evolves and adapts to new information and experiences, unfortunately learning too much at times makes us question our current standing beliefs.…

    Pascal's Wager To The Existence Of God Analysis

    In this essay I first outline Pascal’s wager to the existence of God and then evaluate his argument. Pascal argues that one ought to wager “that God is” because “[i]f you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing,” and that given this, one can bring oneself to believe in God. I argue that one cannot truly bring themselves to believe in God. Pascal’s argument is set up in three parts. The first part accepts that God is infinitely incomprehensible.…

    Analysis Of William James 'The Ethics Of Belief'

    In William James', “The Will to Believe, James provides a defensive response to religious faith regarding W. T. Clifford's position in his essay, "The Ethics of Belief" (James, 2001). Within his stance, James suggests that his views have a somewhat broader scope that Clifford’s (Princeton University, n.d.). Moreover, that in certain cases, it is not only permissible but inevitable that a person’s passional, non-rational nature will determine that person’s belief (Princeton University, n.d.). In summary, James presents that anything that is proposed for our belief is a hypothesis and that any question about which of the two hypotheses to accept is a person’s option (Princeton University, n.d.).…

    Process Philosophy Of Marriage And Family

    "Furthermore, these ideas have and will continue to taint the way in which people think as it is this pervasive thinking that dominates the West and the world today” (Martin, 2006). Therefore, it is evident that the changes that we have seen are only the beginning and these influences will only continue to propel further change. The idea that God is non-existent has become more common and the desire to remove God from every area in society is becoming more and more accepted. However, our God has given us free will and therefore, the choice is there to make.…

    The Meaning Of Jesus Christ: Summary

    In today’s world, religion is often a subject where one is encouraged to tread lightly, where constructive criticism has seemingly lost its place to passionate claims of heresy. Thus, it is only fitting that a book co-written by a self-proclaimed modernist, in Marcus Borg, and an undeniable traditionalist, in N.T. Wright, takes the form that we see in The Meaning of Jesus Christ: Two Visions. Each section of the book is broken down into two separate chapters; one written through the viewpoint of Marcus Borg and one as seen by N.T. Wright. What results is a seemingly flawless representation of what the discussions about Christianity should look like when taken from the various independent sects of the larger religion. This book showed its readers…

    Clifford Rationalism

    The philosophical evaluation of faith and reason seems to suggest a marrying of both sources which provides justification for his or her religious beliefs. Instead faith and reason many times results in strife and division as if these sources meant to bring about an understanding and knowledge regarding religious beliefs are incompatible. No different are the philosophy’s of William Clifford and William James regarding their stance toward the basis of religious beliefs and the means by which justification of beliefs are supported. Although Clifford maintains a strict adherence to a dogma stance of sufficient proof in relation to religious beliefs or no belief at all, and conversely James maintains there is a will and a right to believe when…

    The Role Of Fear In Religion

    Fear specifically is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Throughout the history of man, fear has remarkably had a prominent effect on the actions of many: used by dictators as a tactic to control, used in politics and religion to manipulate people’s positions. Fear materializes to the world in many forms; basic fears akin to those of spiders or heights, to more complex fears that are deep-rooted, like the fear of rejection or disappointment. Fear is an extensive part of life that has held a grip on people for many centuries in the past, and will for the many centuries to go. Identical to politics, entertainment platforms have manipulated fear to captivate…

    Being A Preacher's Kid Essay

    “What is the hardest part about being a Preacher’s kid?” If I had a penny for every time I got asked this question I would probably be a millionaire, if not a billionaire. As soon as I would tell people that I was a preacher’s kid their first reaction was to look at me up and down, confirming that what I was wearing was “preacher’s kids appropriate clothes”. Others would simply smile in shock or not so happy about my comment. The reactions from each individual were completely different, but I began to somehow embrace these awkward situations and started bragging about what was once an embarrassing fact about myself.…

    Meme Concept Of Dawkins

    The Oxford English Dictionary defines the meme as an element of a Culture (taken here in the sense of civilization) can be regarded as transmitted by nongenetic means, especially through imitation. The term meme was first proposed by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene and comes from an association between gene and mimesis. Dawkins also points to a close kinship with the French word same. Memes were presented by Dawkins as replicators, comparable in this respect to genes, but responsible for the evolution of certain animal behaviors and cultures. Dawkins's definition is a unit of information in a brain, exchangeable within a society.…

    Bertrand Russell's "Why I Am Not A Christian" was originally a talk he gave that was published as a pamphlet later that same year. The lecture was given at Battersea Town Hall to the South London Branch of the National Secular Society on March 6, 1927. Russell gave this lecture after his secular views cost him a job.
