In India one of the most common religions practiced is the Jain religion. The Jain religion fall upon the belief of a cause and effect religion where every action or movement a human makes can be detrimental to other beings that exist in the universe. Therefore, the Jains practice their religions in such ways that do little to affect the worlds such as fasting.

Gordon College seeks to maintain a religious policy which bars sexually intercourse outside of marriage, and consequently dating among LGBT students. The NEASC, who provides Gordon College it’s accreditation, has demanded the college reverse its policy and move towards more tolerant practices or risk losing accreditation as a higher education institution. Historically, society has continually strived towards equality and, in doing so, our understanding…

    A current, but certainly not new, public policy issue is the debate that follows when a clash occurs between government and religion. In Obama’s Reformation, Adam J. White examines in detail many of the current debates ongoing in America today; from the current administration’s assault on Christian values, to what it means to the average citizen, and what we are likely to see in the near future. Socrates gave the philosophy of a democratic form of government to us, via Plato’s Republic. Aristotle, in the Rhetoric, taught us “the preservation of the city lies within its laws”.…

    In the “Historical Context” video, Dr. Rena Lindevaldsen attempts to explain the role of religion in America. When you consider the middle group who acknowledges that America’s foundation was based on biblical principles originally, but because it is so religiously and culturally diverse today, America should no longer adhere to those basic religious princiles and decisions that are made in the government, one is forced to answer key foundational biblical questions. First of all, were we founded on biblical principles, then if we are what should be we do today since we ae religiously and culturally diverse. Dr. Lindevaldsen also challenged the listerners with two key questions which should cause one to connect their present educational…

    Ronald J. Sider writes a compelling and thought-provoking book about affluent and wealthy Christians in a world that is getting increasing needy. One of his chapters covers the topic of economic relationships among God’s chosen people. After reading the chapter, I was surprised to see several differences among the Jerusalem church and the twenty-first-century church. I discovered that the early church was much more generous with their money and resources and this challenged me to think critically about my own personal wealth and how the community of wealthy believers are using their money. Sharing of money and wealth can be seen as early in the law but it wasn’t until Jesus’s time that the sharing really began and was lived out.…

    pursuits. It still generates a question whether a faith- based service is able to remain impartial towards the LGBT homeless youth, and provide necessary help despite professing a disparate ideology? In a scenario when an organization shares a convincement that any kind of behavior directed toward a person of one’s own sex should not be publicly approved, this establishment might not wish to recognize the needs of the LGBT youth, and in consequence treat them with a dose of disdain. This fallacy may also result into imposing conversion therapies on LGBT young people.…

    Hindus live by the caste system, and it is of profound significance to the Hindu faith. Contrastively, the Jains view the caste system as more of a social institution rather than a religious one. Unlike their Hindu counterparts, Jain castes receive equal treatment, and one level is not more socially prestigious than the other.

Buddhists reject the system altogether based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha who openly spoke against the caste system and social supremacy of the…
