Some reasons of this are superiority, publicity, and opinionated suggestions. But one reason for this may be tradition, and here is why. The reason to why superiority can cause corruption is because of the position they are in the…

Vulnerable One definition of vulnerable is capable or susceptible to being wounded or hurt, as by a weapon another definition is being open to moral attack or temptation. I declared in the paper that being alone away from the church, family and friends once more for the reason that the church has decided to ignore the truth that one has a higher chance to fall into sin. Without fellowship, encouragement and support from the church one can be more tempted to make decisions that are fatal. That…

For many, religion is less a source of moral and ethical principles than a pursuit of the truth. The modern world touts a plethora of religions which all claim to have the answers to our questions of existential validation or of natural phenomena occurring throughout the universe. Out of this plethora of conflicting truths, the conundrum of religion surfaces: faced with so many theories and teachings that demarcate the boundaries of one religion from the next, how are we to discern the genuine…

Thus, iconoclasm is the destruction of icons and sometimes it is believed that it is done because of the difference between…

From the late 100 B.C all the way until now, the majority of people have served throughout their religion. It wasn’t until the late 100 B.C that religion began towards people moving into their families and also their lives, making some become too religious. The people were over going their lives with the religion they honored. The people did more for their religion gods than they are doing for their own self.

Being born and raised my first ten years of my life in Japan, I acquired many “religious” practices that the majority of the Japanese population perform, and became a cultural practice rather than a religious practice. However, I never quite understood what, where, or who God was, and assumed it was similar to like Santa Claus; someone who is everywhere and nowhere at the same time; someone who one thinks exists,…

Faith. Though not all admit to it, it lies in everyone. It speaks and guides people through the day, from one hour to the next. It makes one feel safe and complete, for they are comfortably nestled in a sea of warmth. Faith gives one something to confide in, be it a time of wellbeing or when all hope is lost. However, when stagnant, it can be catastrophically malignant towards others, in addition, it precludes cultural modernization, the key component responsible for the imperative process of…
