Bahá'í Faith

The reason I “agree” with Feuerbach is because we have not seen God, therefore like he stated, we create our own image. One source that makes me support that statement is through the movie/book: Heaven is for real. This movie/book at the end gave an image of what God could really look like, all because of a kid that went to heaven and came back to Earth and shared his visions. After watching this movie, I realized that we are used to the stereotypical image of God; which is an individual with…

to science, exist a conflict between that and faith. Additionally, Dr. McGrath says, just like in religion, scientists use faith to draw their conclusions from the experiments that they perform. On the other hand, religion is highly associated with faith, because they easily coexist for individuals to believe in the divine being whom they have never seen. In another way, it is due to lack of faith that scientists have a conflict with religion. Faith is described as the ability to believe in…

Christ’s resurrection in the Bible (Cianfarani, 4.2) Also in the same sacred respect that Buddhist give Jataka Tales, so are the Christians to the Sermon on the Mount in book of Mathews. In addition, the Sermon on Mount has been a core of Christian faith and considered to be sacred because it was taught by Jesus to his disciples (Labatt, 4.11). Nonetheless, the Jataka…

As the four guys travel through a faith based journey whether or not to answer the call to become a Catholic priest, they are recorded left and right through school and among family and friends. They are all different people and interpret their faith differently as well too. When they make decisions you don't know if it will affect their life positively or negatively. The show was very interesting because as I watched the four students undergo faith based missions to test ingenuity and find…

want know is how and in what ways. I know and fully believe religion is a very toxic thing, but the reasoning behind would definitely shed some light into how corrupt and demeaning it can be. Religion in itself is definite when it comes to having faith, but this does not always seem to be the case with religious people. Religion is entirely to interpretative and interchangeable to live an entire life by. I do understand that people need change and change is a good thing, but the rules only…

Panagiotidou (2015a;2015b), in her study of the Asclepius cult, has shown how cognitive approaches to ancient evidence provide to the historians the opportunity to release themselves from their own common sense understanding of the world in order to deeper understand the processes of appropriation and internalization of seemingly paradoxical or even inconceivable religious ideas by people of the past. In particular, the healing inscriptions found at the asclepieia record narratives of treatments…

I found the homework assigned to us for the tutorials last week to be very meaningful, as it made me truly question the meaning behind religion, and what it encompasses. It was mentioned in Nye's book, as well as discussed during class that sometimes, simple things like games can be considered religious if the actions of the people dedicated to these games are observed. For example, sports like football and baseball are often "religiously" discussed among the sports enthusiasts, ritual actions…

In today's society, fundamental Christians are facing increasing adversity for living up to their convictions and voicing or -- practicing their beliefs regarding marriage and homosexuality. Many Christians are fearful of the consequences they might face for expressing their personal opinions that are based on their religious beliefs. This evidences the direction society is rapidly heading in -- the prophetic persecution of Christians. Our society has been long envied by other societies around…

From the eyes of the outside world, Beacon Hills has always been the typical, generic, California suburb, but from the inside eyes of such families as the McCalls, Argents, Stilinskis, Hales, Martins, and more, the town is an enigma. The city is a hub for mysteriously unexplainable spooky incidents, at least in the eyes of the perpetually clueless adults. The teens in town know. They know that three local high schoolers, Scott McCall, Allison Argent, and Stiles Stilinski have brought a force so…

In this episode of NOW with Bill Moyers: Karen Armstrong on religious Fundamentalism, Karen Armstrong is interviewed on her life of being religious and where she stands with religion at the time of the interview. She was a former roman catholic nun and after years of not being happy with the way the practices of that religion she had left her convent.
