The standard definition given to God is a being that is supreme, omniscient and omnibenevolent. To give understanding on whether a being of this nature exists or does not exist requires investigation of what reasons or proof is there for tolerating the presence of God as genuine or false and whether the conditions expressed are conceivable. When regular contentions for the presence of God are assessed, the point will be to demonstrate the presence of God is unprovable and that it is sensible to…

Since I have born, I have seen everybody is talking about this Supreme Being, many call him creator of everything, some call him the most powerful and perfect being but everyone calls him god. Does he exists? Or no? God knows. This is a fact of our existence that he the God must exists and in order to satisfy myself, that I exists it is imperative to first prove the existence of my own creator. And being an atheist is as you are doubting your own existence. Than who is right? Everybody carries…

There have been many arguments formed throughout the history of philosophy in support of the existence of God. Among these arguments is a unique claim known as Pascal’s Wager. Pascal’s Wager was formulated by the seventeenth century French philosopher Blaise Pascal. Pascal’s Wager is different than other philosophical arguments in the sense that it is not an evidence based argument. Pascal’s Wager is based solely on reason whereas other arguments, such as the teleological argument, are based on…

In this essay I will be analyzing Blaise Pascal’s argument that one should bring themselves to believe in God because it is logical to wager or bet “that God is”. I will first outline his three premises of the wager and then I will have a criticism that is held against him. Specifically, the criticism is towards his second premise which states, “you must wager. It is not optional”. Lastly, I will be responding to that criticism, since I am agreeing with Pascal’s premise. Pascal’s wager consists…

Along with Christian beliefs, Beowulf and The Grapes of Wrath seem to incorporate Christ figures or representations of God. First, in Beowulf, Robert Stevick has a different viewpoint with Beowulf following along with Christianity. In his article, “Christian Elements and the Genesis of ‘Beowulf,’” Stevick said “Beowulf does have some Christian virtues and fights against monsters that could double as Christian symbols of evil, but he hardly seems to be a Christ-figure, a pre-Christian thane of…

Have you ever wondered about a perfect society and if it is even possible to create. The song “ Rainbow connection” by Kermit the Frog was about a thought that one day we will find a perfect society and the TED Talk Opinion Editorial by Brian Gonsalves was about how even though we know a perfect society is impossible we still try to find it or create it. Both of the text are about a perfect society, is impossible and we still look for it or try to create it. Both sources write about the…

To Forgive or Not Forgive, That is the Question Throughout the New Testament of the Bible, Christians are constantly reminded of the importance of forgiveness. Mathew 6:15 states: “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (KJV). In other words, a person cannot expect to be forgiven by God if that person does not forgive others. When it comes to forgiving those that I love, I do not have a difficult time forgiving them, and this is probably…

In Of Truth, his practicality is also crystal clear when he compares truth to pearl and not diamond. He has strong approval of sacrificing truth to falsehood for the survival on earth which surely goes against morality. He announces: “A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.” (1691, p.2) Religion offers spiritual as well as temporal succes. It has ordained nothing which goes against the very nature of human being. Its tenets and injunctions are formed for man’s progress in…

The Causal Argument strategy is an argument from Aquinas that utilizes the Causal Principle. Aquinas’s argument starts from some known effect, as in relation to cause and effect, and then argues that this particular effect must have been caused by God. Aquinas starts off his argument by asserting the existencce of something. He then states the Causal Principle. Later, Aquinas makes a claim about what must be the sufficient cause of the thing he asserts exists in the first claim. Finally,…
