God of Carnage

Comparison in which J.R.R Tolkien and Jules Verne have explored different perspectives on the idea of faith and doubt in their respective texts The Hobbit and Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Both texts convey the idea of faith and doubt. The idea that doubt will always affect your journey, but faith may have enough strength to overcome the doubt in anything. Verne looks at both Protagonist one symbolising faithful and the other symbolising doubt. This is metaphorically showing how faith…

people die and where they go in the afterlife. Another conflicting belief would be how the turtle story portrays rituals being used to spin a tiny amount of dirt into a great expanse, and the story containing Sa revolves more around creation through a god or higher power. This shows how different the values between the two cultures are; Iroquois focusing on creation through balance and godly praising, whereas the Kono myth is fixated on creation by deceiving, stealing, and…

In “Reasonable Religious Disagreements,” Richard Feldman posits that two reasonable peers cannot come to a reasonable disagreement. The premise of a “reasonable disagreement” has various conditions, in short being that the peers must be epistemic, and they must have shared all of their evidence pertaining to the argument. By this criteria, it is not plausible for two epistemic peers with access to the same body of evidence to ever reach reasonably different conclusions. However, a problem arises…

The three types of belief systems are extremely different when it comes to their principles, affirming religious beliefs and the amount of evidence needed to affirm said beliefs. Critical rationalism, fideism, and strong rationalism are the three positions and they all have been discussed by different philosophers and people throughout the years. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses and ways of rationally affirming their beliefs. Strong Rationalism believes that it is rational to…

3 of 2 Corinthians. Throughout the chapter Paul’s use the first person plural ‘we,’ but is not clear if the ‘we’ refers to Paul and his companions or to all the readers. By using ‘we’ ambiguously Paul serves as a model of a direct encounter with God and this encounter is available to all. However the reader is unaware if Paul is referring to himself and close companions, or to all the church. Whomever Paul is referring to Paul invites the church to reconcile with him. Another rhetorical…

Sagoyewatha, known as Red Jacket, a native American that was a critical mediator and a defender of the native religion. A Boston missionary society in 1805 wanting to convert the natives to Christianity but Red Jacket disagree and defended the native religion. Although the Boston missionary society wanted to convert the Native Americans to Christianity and ditch their own religion, Red Jacket didn’t agree with the white people to Christianize the native American, therefore we shall not…

Anticipation. Longing. Disappointment. Gary Sinise falls short on his attempt to bring an amazing classic novel to life. In the movie everything is not clear and it rushes through scenes. On the other hand in the book you understand not only who they are but what they are feeling and this causes you to feel emotion. The first scene in the movie Of Mice and Men is a semi action packed scene in which Lennie and George are being chased by people on horseback with guns. The scene is only semi…

we only focus on asking questions about the meaning of our lives. Therefore, we don’t think of other people that are really suffering and even though they are suffering they are finding a meaning of life. I believe this is because they have faith in God almighty. In the pass I lived in a contemplative life where I achieved happiness only be ends of something else and not for an end. As a…

The idea that a person could think for themselves and diverge from the rest of society was harshly suppressed. Puritans instead had a resolute belief in simplicity, conformity, and enforcing deadly punishment for anyone who strayed from the path of God. An unwavering loyalty to this way of life and a fear of individualism caused those who opposed or dishonored the community to face a deadly fate, either physically or socially. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, however, Hester Prynne…

help and prove the facts of his original testimony, in order to lead them to see their wickedness and repent. Lastly, the Book of Malachi is an oracle. The word of the Lord to Israel through Malachi (1:1) This was gods warning that was used through Malachi to tell the people to look to God. As the final book of the Old Testament concludes, the statement of God’s justice and the promise of his return through the coming Messiah is clear in the ears of the Israelites. Four hundred years of silence…
