Stories are well suited for discussing moral values because stories help readers learn where our moral beliefs and foundations came and continue to come from. Each story has a lesson to be learned or something that can be taken away from it. Stories teach us lessons about life and everything in between. Stories that are told at a young age started developing our morals and views and as people get older they pass those stories on to their children and it becomes a trend. All stories have meaning.…

two years. Single premium was down but in line with projections that was set for the year. The renewal premium was up 3% and continues to see good growth. He continued by stating that we did see a decrease on the Farm Bureau Insurance side of individual Life sales because we were focused on the Property & Casualty growth; however, we still had a good year. Mr. Bower highlighted the 2015 results of issued policies/face amount on slide 106, stating we issued just shy of 12,000 Life insurance…

of the flood in Genesis 6 leads to further discussion of good and evil. God saw that “the wickedness of man was great in the earth” and “every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5), thus we can assure that a moral standard absolutely existed at the time as the terms like “wickedness” and “evil” merely contain derogatory connotations. It remains obvious that one can not determine if something is good or evil without a moral standard. Also, God is…

groups are the right ones? The people that you spend a majority of your time with will rub off on you. The major changes that occur when people rub off on you are your attitude, your language, and your actions. Your friend group will impact your life in good ways and bad, so make sure you have positive people influencing you. Attitude is what makes your life go, and determines how you treat other people. If you have a bad attitude, your life might seem boring, or you will be…

As God is seen as the Almighty, all good Lord and ruler of all, any opposition to Him is clear to be justified through the means of evil and destruction. Satan was filled with such hate that he decided to set full vengeance towards God for his fall from the glorious Heaven to the fiery flames…

snakes are viewed as a great and good power such as a Rainbow and Rain God, the inventor of creation, and a protector from storms. “Man-made laws and social customs do not form the basis of Buddhist ethics” (Buddhists Ethics). This means they do not base their ethics based on what man thinks is right and wrong, but they based it on the “unchanging laws of nature” (Buddhists Ethics). They value happiness above all. In Buddhism and snakes “…symbolize both good and evil, hopes and fears”…

I have never heard of animism before, but upon reading your explanation I can see how the movie “Avatar” fits into its’ definition. Looking at this movie from a Biblical perspective evokes much you can find wrong with the animism view. This movie reminds me of what Charry describes in “Inquiring after God through Art” when she states, “Art for art’s sake overwhelmed the older notion that art appropriately leads people to God and righteousness. Art came to be focused on forms and techniques of…

8. Foster furthers this analysis of the so-called monster representing an unholy pact by comparing its creation to a Faustian bargain. Unlike the typical meeting of entity and man at a crossroads and the demonic pact, Frankenstein approaches the trope in a different light as it is not the source, but rather the creation, that goes against god. Through use of this trope, Shelley emphasizes upon monster’s deformity — the result of a man believing himself to be a god. No matter how much we suppress…

Introduction The logical problem of evil by J. L. Mackie seeked to show a logical contradiction between the existence of a good omnipotent God that traditional theists propose, and the existence of evil. In his Free Will Defense, (henceforth FWD) Alvin Plantinga responds by arguing that agents with significant freedom are more valuable than those without, but that God cannot determine that such agents cannot choose wrong. Hence, it is possible that God exists but creates agents with…

Poverty, injustice, and oppression is what she believed to have plagued her family for generations and did not see what it truly was. Dee would look a white man in the eye, having no fear because she did not stand for oppression but it was not always a good thing for her, reinforcing the idea of her willingness to stare down anyone including the white man in the sentence line 12, “She was determined to stare down any disaster in her efforts.” (Walker 3). This sense of rebellion helped cause Dee…
