their own land. If it was not for them who knows in what ways we would be living in now. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China were all different from each other, but at the same time they all shared certain characteristics. Religion was a very important aspect for each of these civilizations. Every society had different rituals, beliefs, and deities; but they also shared some common religious beliefs. Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China were all polytheistic societies, but their…

The issue of lying is something that can be quite debatable. Whether it can be justified in some instances depends solely on what the person believes to be morally correct. On one hand, you can have the idea that lying is permissible in order to save someone’s life and protect them. On the other hand, you have the idea that lying is not something that is morally correct because it is sinful and shouldn’t be done. What it really comes down to is a person’s motivation for lying. Is all lying…

Experience I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember. I have never thought of going to a different religion 's place of worship, especially like a temple. When I heard that we had to experience another religion, I was a tad bit skeptical. Later on, I thought this would be a great experience for me. Being happy has been a main concern for me this year. I have picked Buddhism since that religion focuses on happiness. My mom and I went to the Buddhist Temple named Wat Punyawanaram on…

When a person under the age of eighteen commits a crime, most of the time they will not be tried as adults. The young defendant might go into court and his sentence might be much more lenient than if he had been an adult. Adults who commit these crimes know exactly what it is they are doing and they know exactly how wrong it is, yet they continue to do it. Minors, however, are still young and ignorant. They are in their childhood, despite what one might argue, and they will make mistakes. Young…

their real behaviors do not confront/conform to the ideal standard of the proper act prescribed by religion. It is exactly what happened by Kharejites, because they define faith in terms of acts and the outcome was that they consider all Muslim but themselves as non-Muslim. On the other hand if we take acts to be irrelevant to faith, then it makes a very important if not the important aspect of the religion either/ideal or less important. So, the theological significant is to come off/up with a…

was made to respect the fundamental rights that are the rights to freedom of conscience and religion. Creationism, as described by the Quebec Skeptics Society, is built on a belief in a higher power that created humankind, as well as everything that lives on earth, and considers Genesis as a factual and historical reference of that creation. Even if it is not specific to Catholicism or any other religion, this theory relies on religious convictions that are not shared by every individual.…

is so easy to separate things but not bring them together as a centralized idea. In this instance, we have found so many ways to separate religion from the rest of our daily lives, as well as we have found ways to separate our education from parts of people’s lives as well. In this, I believe that religion and education go hand-in-hand, and in belief religion has huge impacts on educational standards. Throughout my life, I have had many teachers, and instructors who were very faith oriented and…

HATRED: A GATEWAY TO VIOLENCE “Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.” (Martin Luther King). Hatred is an inner feeling or emotion that takes birth when a person develops an extreme dislike for someone. This hatred, if not directed correctly, can transform into vengeance which would further lead to viciousness/violence. As the above quote explains, a person should not pull another so low that the other person develops a spark of hatred in his/her heart. This hatred causes humanity to…

The first essay in Fulghum’s collection All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, which he titles “Credo”, plainly lays out his philosophy on life: people can live satisfying and meaningful lives if they only remember those basic lessons learned by all children. His proposed issue with humanity is that we often forget these simple lessons. Basic tenants of childhood like sharing, being nice, and cleaning up after one’s self are often neglected by adults. Fulghum believes that by…
