    Throughout my short time in love class I have truly enjoyed every moment of the class. I have been able to learn many interesting things about love that I had never thought about prior to this class.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be…

    do you think we can still get out of this cave? Alive?” He asked. I just stayed quiet and that gives me the thought. “At least we must do not lose hope.” “I believe that we face challenges even if it is hard but we still need to hope for the best” Agape said.” After what he said we just both turned our attention to Polyphemus.

    absolutes that Kant values so highly, such as the 10 commandments. Instead Fletcher tells us that if the situations demands us to, we must set them aside in the pursuit of agape love. Therefore when considering this principle in relation to embryo research as long as the decision made in regards to embryo research is the one chosen out of agape love, then it can be argued that Bentham would see no problem in this.…

The first century church “fenced the table” strictly, only allowing the regenerate believers to partake in the Supper. They called this a love feast, or “agape feast,” and the service spilled over into the meal. This meal became a part of the worship service, and after they ate the meal, the believers praised God and ate and drank of the bread and wine in remembrance of Christ. This love feast became…

Throughout The Road, our protagonists struggle to survive in their post apocalyptic world. The man consistently feels the need to ensure his son’s survival. Hoyle states “The Road is a literary portent- the cave is akin to the Underworld and the spider-eyed creature is as forbidding a Guardian at the Gates of Hell as Cerberus, or Milton’s hideous death; meanwhile…

    In Part II, I wrote about the purpose and part which human suffering plays (or should be playing) in the world. Instead, if we are able, we shut our eyes and remove ourselves far from human suffering or we revel in it vicariously. We take the pastoral or prurient path, whenever we can. The first is a form of fantasy infantilism, whete we pretend the Problem doesn't exist. No need to take any action other than insulating ourselves from that “non-existent” threat. The other is a bloodlust…
