side of the issue have a difficult time accepting this case. Often times people want to paint issues as either black or white with no middle ground, especially those topics concerning religion, politics, or other sensitive subjects. I don’t think belief works that way. While I’m not particularly religious, I believe religion is good for those who choose to follow a certain faith, however I don’t think there’s one religion that is better than another. One of the best ways I’ve heard that point…

For these readings I think I can classify them into two different categories as far as themes go. The first section from page 169-176 talked a lot about religion and how people viewed religion. In this selection William Blake explained though his poem There Is No Natural Religion (parts a and b) what he considers religion and how he feels religion must have come to be. He also explains in this poem how he feels there must be a divine entity to give humans complex thoughts because he argues that…

in your own words the concept of “a single story”. Is that when you have only one story that you know and believe it is most likely bias. It could be because someone has told you only one part of the subject in order to have power over you or your belief in that subject matter. Most importantly is the fact that if you don’t know the whole story, and your preconceived idea of that subject may be totally wrong. 3.…

Doubt in Faith To my knowledge we all have something we believe in, whether our faith is in God, Buddha or some other religion, the choice is ours. It is also up to us to have complete trust in the idol, hence not having any doubt towards that idol. Shusaku Endo covers the topic about faith and betrayal in Silence. In the novel the Japanese officials test the faith of priests and want them to apostatize since they feel that Christianity is not suited for Japan. One priest in particular,…

Religion can be defined as a set of beliefs concerning the purpose or reason of the universe. It can be described as a group of people who obtain the same distinct set of practices, traditions, or beliefs. It is something that one believes in and is devoted to. Religion is something that will always be relevant. I do not think that Religion will ever cease to exist or not be relevant. It is relevant in many different ways and aspects.

The quote, and the belief system it founds, are not only ludicrous, but asinine to the point of insufferability. The notion that information and wisdom about the world is detrimental, is absolute rubbish. The want to be secluded and ignorant makes one blind to the true…

What motivated that woman to stop what was happening? And this is what I wonder the most: what was God’s reason for sending an angel to save me? The truth that I come up with for these questions will be different from someone else with a different belief system. The reasons for my own actions will be different than someone else making the same decision. Before we judge someone based on one action they take, or one phrase that drips off their tongue, we must realize there is a reason behind it.…
