In Philosophical Dilemmas, an augment state that the believers attitude has terrible consequences. And a person should have some good reason to back up anything he or she believes in. The person that believe in this argument is a questioner. And questioner believe that there has to be hard evidence to believe in it, so like facts because you know that it exist and you can see it yourself. So a questioner doesn’t believe in faith. But in many religions faith is held up as an important standard of right. People that believe in questioner go after people that are religious. They argue that, “how do you know that god exist.” Children are told by their parents what religion to follow when they were toddler, but as children got older they never ask the question why we follow this religion. One of the argument of questioner is parents tell their children what to …show more content…
Paul specifically list faith, hope, and charity as the Christian virtues. But one religion that faith is more central to is Islam. The word Islam come for Arabic language and it means submission. The people who follow this religion are from the Middle East. The religion of Islam acknowledge that there is only one God. But the other religions that people follow is place more or less emphasis on faith as well. So that Islam religion is base of faith and to belief and trust in and loyalty to God.
Questioner think that beliefs should be based on evidence and not comfort to make you feel better about yourself. Our beliefs are supported to be about the world as it really is and how you should see it. That is what beliefs are and should be. So we must make every effort to find out exactly what the world would be like. We should do that by observing, analyzing, experimenting, and collecting information. And not by obeying authorities, massaging our own egos, or letting our fantasies run wild. Basing any of the beliefs on faith would be terrible for your own personal

    In the end, Wente's editorial made for an enlightening read for some discussion and debate but missed her mark here in being able to convince the reader through any persuasive effort she may have had by imploring poor use of authority and enabling an irrational way of thinking. Wente's lack in understanding of what it means being a parent herself made her argument baseless and claims ever-more dubious. Discussions like this calls for a voice to reasoning, a voice in objection, and clarity, and, preferably, a voice of unparalleled firsthand account. Unfortunately for Wente she is not that voice.…

    Singer’s premises are so judiciously phrased that it invites non-consequentialist acceptance. Moreover Singer applies the principle to a simple experiment which offers clarity in comparing the moral significance: “If I am walking past a shallow pond and see a child drowning in it, I ought to wade in and pull the child out. This will mean getting my clothes muddy but this is insignificant, while the death of the child would presumably be a very bad thing." (Singer, 1972). It can be assumed that one’s ethical views are of little to no import, when wet and muddy clothes are entirely insignificant compared to death of a child.…

    Stanton claims that women should have the same rights as men. This is evident in lines 2-5 when she states that when people want to “assume… a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature, and of nature’s God entitle them,” it is their right to do so. Men and women are entitled to the same rights, and therefore, the government should acknowledge this. She assures that she will support her claim later in the document when she explains that she will “declare the causes that impel [women] to such a course” (line 6).…

John O’Sullivan’s argument for the Annexation of Texas is superior compared to Thomas Corwin’s argument. O’Sullivan utilizes facts, the spirit of America, the antithesis, and the history of other foreign countries in America make a strong argument. O’Sullivan begins by declaring that Texas belongs to America. Texas is no longer a mere plot of land; it is American (O’Sullivan 1).…

    come to the same conclusion that the founding fathers were commoners in almost cult-like Americanistic view, which echoes the mythic sense of the founding that Nash describes in his quote. It is historically proven to argue Nash’s point further that the framers were almost all very materially and societally elite, they knew that if they did not guard against rebellion, their country could be taken by the same violent mob that toppled the British elite. The elite framers needed a way to pay for the war for a country that did not exist yet. America was the first country to divide itself from its mother country that formed itself into an entirely new state.…

    Writing in November 1971, Peter Singer condemns developed nations for not making the necessary decisions to save East Bengalis from evitable starvation, violence, and disease. Even the most prominent aid contributors such as Britain and Australia spend much more on domestic luxury projects than on reducing fellow human suffering. Using Bengal as an example, Singer asserts that people have a moral obligation to give significant amounts of money to aid organizations. In disagreement, I will argue that we also have a right to keep our earnings because we have entitlements in terms of autonomy. While giving significant amounts of money to charity may be a morally positive act, it is not a moral obligation.…

    Philo begins his argument from the existence of evil by introducing a few examples on why God has either not willed humanity’s happiness or that He does not believe that happiness is an essential component to the human condition. In his first argument, he asserts first that God is a moral being who values traits such a justice, kindness, and mercy. He then states that God’s scope is infinite, and he can perform whatever deeds he so wishes. Finally, he says that humanity is unhappy. This leads to the conclusion that God must not wish for the contentment of mankind.…

    Stunz's Argument Analysis

    Another site of legal violence is within mass incarceration. William Stunz addresses the violence of the system as focusing on the process over the outcome. He focuses on how the law was put into place to create the desired outcomes, rather than looking at the results to create the law. This focus on the process means there is no inquiry to whether material outcomes of the process are actually just and as such it appears that the system does not want to fix the problem, but rather just emphasize an existing problem. This is a systemic violence because the way the way the law is interpreted causes the focus on procedure rather than the outcomes (Gopnik 2012).…

    If people do not believe, there would not be any religion. Also there must have been a story told, and this doesn’t mean experience (experience doesn’t make a religion). In other words, someone needs to tell and people to believe it. In a religion, there could be hundreds or even thousands of different sects and they all have this idea in common which is they are the true religion. There needs to have a story for a religion to be made, the story may or may not be true but if people believe it, they will probably have a sense of control; and maybe then they will agree upon what is true and what is not.…

    Who are we to decide what exactly killing is, or even which type of killing is morally permissible or not? Don Marquis Argues “Killing a fetus deprives it of a valuable future/ “future like ours”. Therefore, abortion is not morally permissible.” Although, his argument does have some sense to it, it still raises questions to many specific cases where abortion would be an option. For this reason, I will argue as to why I believe Marquis’ argument has many arguments against it rather than for it because no one knows the future of any fetus.…
