Thank you Kami for allowing me to read your story. The story was so suspenseful. I could not even stop myself from reading your story. I really wanted to find out what happen to Bartholomew and how it ended up in his father’s prison. I like how you went back and forth from the past and the present, it really added dynamics to your story. You did a great job of setting up the scenery so we could understand the world that Bartholomew was living. Your story read very smoothly and with great fluency…
Pokemon. It has figured out how to sink into my head, ambiguously and through shear reiteration, that each Pokemon is connected with some normal component like grass or water. It is once in a while said that the Pokemon in this way rose up out of the "kami," or divine beings, of the Japanese Shinto religion. While that might be valid in some way or another (I've heard it was not), it is likewise genuine that there is just a solitary god for one thing in Shinto-downpour, for occasion, while the…
Christianity: Christianity originated in Jerusalem, which is in the present day country of Israel. The creator of Christianity was born in Bethlehem, just outside Jerusalem. Christianity was spread by hierarchical diffusion. This is because many kings of Empires were converted to christianity and thus forced their people to believe in the beliefs of christianity. Christianity could also have been spread by contagious diffusion. The religion was spread and taken in by neighboring countries and…
Religion and Social/Political Institutions In every tradition there exists a religion, a system of belief beyond the grasp of man. Human beings have a desire for a supreme being, something they acquire through religion. Religion serves the purpose of quenching man’s thirst to be good and peaceful thereby creating some order. It does not matter how or when the development of man began, his overwhelming urge to worship has formed and will continue to give rise to more kinds of religious behaviors.…
Biomes Survival Story We were flying in the government's new 737 million dollar B-2 Spirit jet. My sergeant gave me and my co-pilot orders to go to the coordinates 6.1° S 106.9° E, which is Jakarta, Indonesia. Our orders were to observe the areas that have military-like forces in the tropical rainforest. As we were making our last pass for reconnaissance over the tropical rainforest, there was a huge thunderstorm. A few minutes after the storm started the B-2 jet was struck by lightning,…
Miyamoto Musashi lived during the Edo period also known as the Tokugawa period which lasted for about 265 years, from AD 1603-1868. During this period, a samurai named Tokugawa Ieyasu was the shogun of Japan which was a political leader that was second in command after the emperor. About 3 years before this period on the 24th of October 1600 there was a great battle called the battle of Sekigahara which was a war between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (the pervious shogun who had passed…
Lastly, there are stage attendants called Koken. They dress in black and assist the performers in various ways, such as handing them props, but are not directly connected to the story. There are a variety of types of Noh plays. For instance, the kami (god) play involves a sacred story of a Shintō shrine, shura mono (fighting play) centers on warriors, katsura mono (wig play) has a female protagonist, and gendai mono (present day play) is a story considered contemporary and realistic rather than…
In the Shinto religion, sacred spirits called kami are worshipped. They can take the form of objects in nature, such as trees, rivers, mountains, rain, and wind. The site of the shrine is in the middle of a forest composed of Japanese cypress trees, considered to be sacred. One cypress tree was cut…
spent with a family that I have never gotten to see regularly. The Sanders family is heavily involved in Christian ministry. In 2005, my Aunt Karla, Uncle Tim, and their four children moved to India to be missionaries. Also, my Uncle Nolan and Aunt Kami lived…
In order to appropriately answer this question, we must first look at the prerequisites for being termed a Theravada Buddhist or a disciple of Shintoism. While identifying the various aspects of either religion, we can make head-to-head arguments for and against their exclusivity. When considering the argument for the practice of both these religions at the same time, it must be understood that in order to fully devote one’s self to a religion that person cannot falter from the line of thought…
