Judaism and Christianity have the same thing in like manner for instance, they both put stock in a preeminent being called GOD and the fundamentally have the same instructing of him and his child JESUS. Also, they practice prayer. The two share a common origin, monotheism, which was sculpted into a home in Palestine three thousand years ago. In Christianity, it is said that there is a Holy Trinity, whereas Judaism speaks highly that there is one God. Jesus is believed to not have been resurrected on the cross unlike in Christianity where that is affirmed. When it comes down to their views on other religion, Christians strictly believe that Christianity is the TRUE RELIGION. Judaism is the chosen faith but others are good too.

    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.…

    Reason Vs Religion

    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.
