God Vs Religion

Improved Essays
It is true that there exist many different religions and each has its own God or gods. Now, if good and right depended on what gods or God say, how will we know which God is right. And even if we look from a monotheistic point of view, even if there is only one God and different religions how would we know which of the religions is right about God's commands. The first thing came to mind when I first read this discussion question is that it is objective. However, later I was able to understand that it is relative. And I completely agree with you, in order to this dilemma be resolvable every person in the world should have the same mindset and the same understanding (that is impossible).

    The name Kemetic comes from ancient Egypt’s name for itself- Kemet, which is often translated as “Black Land” or “Black Hills”. It’s commonly believed that this refers to the black life giving silt that the Nile would deposit every year into Egypt’s fields. Kemeticism is, more or less, a movement to revive the religions of ancient Egypt- with the gods of ancient Egypt being the main focus. There are various flavors of Kemeticism- some which rely solely upon ancient practices, and others that use virtually nothing from the past.…

    1. The writer states, “ we shouldn’t be worshipping nature as God, he said, but nature is the way that God communicates to us most forcefully.” I agree with that people should not worship nature as God, but rather embrace the natural beauty as a form of its supernatural presence encamp around Mother Nature. Nonetheless, can a non-religious person experience the supernatural peace and joy in the woods the same way as a religious person?…

    Monotheism is a belief that there is one Supreme Being, rather than many. As with every religion, it had implications for the human who fall into the arms of God, both in sacred, and secular ways. Not only the monotheist religions were able to convince people, but also abled those people to form closely knitted communities according to their likeness. Such communities, gathered on the basis of faith, would make efforts to live up to the God’s laws, and attempt to convince others to follow the God or the God’s way, as it is a duty for some religion to spread the God’s message (Christians with the duty to spread the Gospel serves as a prime example). In their mission to live congruent to the God’s messages and laws, those communities or individual…

    Creation may be perceived as a “problem” or a “challenging doctrine” because humans cannot fully comprehend why the world is orchestrated in the way it is, “....many non-Christians and even some Christians, consider divine creation an absurdly and anti-intellectual concept.” If we cannot fully comprehend Creation, it is not a problem nor an anti-intellectual concept. Creation is not meant to be fully comprehended by humans; our job is to have faith and believe. The dilemma with viewing Creation as a problem correlates into saying faith is a problem. Evolution also needs faith too, and it can also be seen as a challenging doctrine.…

    Reason Vs Religion

    • 1195 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Faith and reason often go hand in hand simply because of the fact that one could argue that one does not exist without the other. The major arguments for them going hand in hand is that someone can be faithful or unfaithful to a voice of reason or have reason to be faithful or unfaithful. One could also argue that faith and reason could be divided into two separate categories, or that they’re considered to be two separate things. In this case Elizabeth A. Johnson and Charles Darwin would exemplify reason because of the way they prioritize science over God, while John Henry Newman argues that religion gives people a “sense of security” and that having faith in God makes you knowledgeable which makes you smarter. Although they have conflicting…

    Science and religion are two words that are assumed to oppose each other due to the factual, logical basis of science and the faith in the unknown presented in religion. Yet these two disciplines share many commonalities and interactions that lead to the development of a field of study. Alfred White Northhead, a Protestant theologian, exceptionally expressed that God and nature work as one, indicating any change in the science nature, should lead to an alteration with how society comprehends God. (Olsen, 2) Throughout this paper it will be clear that science and religion are a field due to the commonalities the disciplines share, the overlap of knowledge seen in both topics and importantly the dispersion of the work among academics.…
