evidence will be shared, making the problem obsolete. He then seems to modify the conditions to require that the evidence must be shared to the extent that is possible. He includes a scenario in which there is an argument between an atheist and a theist. Faith as a way of knowing is often deeply personal, meaning the likelihood of successfully sharing evidence regarding religion is highly improbable. This reveals a clear point of contention in which evidence cannot realistically be fully shared.…
A good man is indeed hard to find. Flannery O’Connor is a strong believer in faith, and in this short story, she makes speculations about society and human nature. Using the character the grandmother in the tale, she exhibits her as a representation of all her observations about the inherent characteristics in people. A Good Man is Hard to Find questions the true qualities of human nature and sends readers messages that are most likely ignored and almost never uttered out loud. From this cynical…
As a society we depend on the belief and faith in God to keep us going. Many forms of religion pray on this and the idea that God is a higher being able to point humanity in the right direction because no ordinary human can set the authority over ourselves. We have to have someone who knows all right from wrong and is able to do such mighty things without his rules having to be questioned or argued against. We have depended so much on this idea that it has become nearly impossible, in the eyes…

person there are many ways to tackle, deal with and answer, questions of our faith. One major question within our religion is what is our relationship with God. This question has many ways to go about answering it. In my personal belief our relationship with god can be ever changing. I believe that as we grow in knowledge we seek more and more and always are asking questions trying to further our understanding of our faith and relationship with god. This question to be answered first we as…
The relation between faith and work: the dilemma goes like this. One the one hand if we take works as vital in defining the faith, then it runs the danger of making almost all Muslims non-Muslim and all faithful unfaithful. Because usually people are ordinary people and their real behaviors do not confront/conform to the ideal standard of the proper act prescribed by religion. It is exactly what happened by Kharejites, because they define faith in terms of acts and the outcome was…
it never actually in the film Tree of Life. When listening to the music in the film all I could think about when I go to church and how peaceful the music is when you go to church. The title of the film which, is The Tree is Life plays a religious faith role because in the book of Genesis 2:9, The Tree of Life is first described as being planted with the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The title of the film comes directly from the Bible. I think this movie does have a religious meaning…
between religion as the individual activity/ritual and the religious faith? Since the matter of fact will remain that whether it was that the Israelites or the Aryans and Dravidians of the subcontinent, worshipped and feared gods they had never seen, yet their trust and faith lay in those gods that they shaped with their own hands, the carved images of gods, their faith in these gods, like the golden calf, had been far deep than the faith the Israelites had in the God of Moses, the God who said…
his one and only son and who believes in him will not die but rise in heaven, and also ask them to pray for one month straight for a minute every hour and then ask them to come back and tell you what has changed in their lives. 2) The way I know my faith is right is that I know that I am so blessed with good education and with an amazing family,…
