Faith and rationality

The person that I respect the most out of anyone is my mother, that is why I chose her as my interviewee. Cristina Booza went to Cabrini High School 9th-10th grade and transferred to Melvindale for 11th-12th grade, then she went on to go to HFCC for college. She had coached cheer for a few years at a high school but then came the kids, so she took a little break to take care of me and my siblings. Her daughter (my sister) starting cheering when she was old enough, and then Cristina coached…

The first video was confusing and rough to sam the least! The speaker at the beginning I felt was going around in circles and would not stay on topic of Hinduism to give a clear arugment about the culture of Hinduidm. The arugment that really stood out that finally started making sense to me was when the speaker started talking about the Gods mainly the three Gods Branha ,Shivba,Vishnu. The speaker explained that these three Gods work together in a cycle , for example Branha is the creater God…

Religion as a whole in the book can connect to Paulo Coelho’s pilgrimage that he embarked on but the faith of which stands out most. The pilgrimage serves as a journey of self realization and as a connection to God; this is why it is so prevalent in the book. The struggles of Elijah with his “destiny” and the conflicts he has with God can be related back…

Grant’s Faith Journey Kile Jones, founder of the Claremont Journal of Religion, states "It is apparent that religion can be seen as a theological, philosophical, anthropological, sociological, and psychological phenomenon of human kind. To limit religion to only one of these categories is to miss its multifaceted nature and lose out on the complete definition." Religion is a very broad concept, which causes it to have many different definitions and meanings for different people. In A Lesson…

into a dynamic Catholic family. They were always involve in many ministries such as Knights of Columbus and choir.

more than just what is taught in schools. A person’s worth cannot be judged from their education, but rather from who they are as a person. This reflects the difference in ideologies between Grant, a man of education, and Reverend Ambrose, a man of faith. A more direct educational divide occurs between the young deputy Paul and sheriff Guidry. Gaines describes Paul as “better educated than the chief deputy or the sheriff” (125), which attributes his respect towards the black community. The…

However, in modern times this has changed. With increasing immigration, one of my friends may be Hindu, my boss could be Muslim, and the person in front of me at a Wonderland line could be Sikh. In such a diverse world, we must understand each others faiths so…

true answers are derived from faith. Although these two topics are greatly different, they both prove to be best when they work with each other. For instance, as Ellie and Palmer are at the ball, Ellie tells him she could not believe in something without evidence. In reply, Palmer asks if she loved her father. When she says “yes” he asks her to prove it. By Palmer asking this question, it shows Ellie that science and faith cannot work alone. To elaborate, without faith, new discoveries and…

similarity between the ideas and views of Kierkegaard and Bono, U2's lead singer. Both of them had unconventional ways to look upon human life. Both of them denied following the traditional rules of Christianity, but they both individually had invested faith in God. When Bono visited Africa to help the people suffering from the destruction of famine and AIDS, he realized that whole world is his neighbor irrespective of any geographical distance. Kierkegaard also reflects this view as he thinks…

Holy Clues: The Gospel According to Sherlock Holmes Sherlock Holmes is a series of amazing books that keep the readers on the edge of their seats from the start to the very end. However, Sherlock Holmes and the Gospel are two different genres that cannot be intertwined. Nevertheless, Kendrick's book, “Holy clues: The gospel according to Sherlock Holmes,” manages to establish a link between the two genres in a rather clever way. While Holmes was not a preacher of any sorts, Kendrick shows that…
