It is my opinion that posting the Ten Commandments in public places is in the least, inconsiderate to those who are not Christian and does in fact violate the First Amendment. The First Amendment explicitly allows for the freedom of speech, but also for ones religious beliefs to not be impeded. It is my belief that confusion lies in the fact that one has the ability to believe and follow and religion they choose, but by forcing another person to abide by your religious beliefs, you are…

“Evil comes from the abuse of free will”- CS Lewis. Lord of the Flies is a tale with undeniable themes of savagery and good vs. evil. William Golding’s belief was that all men contain evil within, and his portrayal of Lord of the Flies painted that picture for his audience. He created an underlying theme that symbolized a “Jesus vs. Satan” theme, which also ties directly with good vs. evil; however, he took a unique approach. He emphasized that without rules, there is no reason or foundation…

the young man’s question and taught him a lesson. Jesus simply said to the young man, “You call Me good, but only God is good. If I am good, then I am God. So, why don’t you acknowledge me as God, who is good?” Then the Lord told him to keep the Ten Commandments. The young man told the Lord that he had been keeping those commandments all of his life. And, he was telling the truth, because the Lord did not question his claim. Jesus had already looked down into that man’s heart and He knew…

state should be separated due to our country being able to express their choice in religion and overpowering one part of the government or another. I see the most effect way of adding any christian belief into the system would to at the least keep the ten commandments, which in others eyes are natural ways of living everyone should live by. Colson desires for more christians in politics since the christian majority has died down. He wants christians to bring in God’s righteousness and justice…

Animal Farm is set in 1945 on a small farm in England. The events that take place on the farm mimic that of the Russian revolution. The farm is ruled by a cruel man named Mr Jones. The animals get fed up with his cruelty and rebel. They then run the farm with Snowball and Napoleon (the farm pigs) as the leaders. Napoleon is an allegory for Stalin and Snowball is an allegory for Leon Trotsky. The actions of both characters reflect those of the Russian rulers. This essay will focus on the two…

In George Orwell’s allegory, Animal Farm, a society that represents Russia is under the control of a power hungry dictator who gains power over all the citizen’s and every aspect of their lives. The dictator, a pig who represents Joseph Stalin, takes control of the farm after a successful rebellion has taken place and the owner has fled. To maintain his power over the farm, the dictator rules by fear and manipulates the citizen’s to follow his commands and decisions. Through the development of…

Since the ancient days up until the present day, writing has taken place. Writing was and is a way for people to express certain emotions and give others the opportunity to live moments that have occurred. Writing also serves as a record. Without it, many issues and ways of living of past cultures would not be as apparent as they are today. Two major pieces of writing that serve as great tools to examine and reflect upon two particular cultures are The Epic of Gilgamesh and the book of Exodus.…

The content and interpretations of the Deuteronomic Code, on the other hand, stray much father away from uniformity than the Decalogue, arguably narrating a broader set of moral and legal obligations of the Israelites. Its reassertion of the Commandments further enforces the aforementioned covenant relationship between God and the Israelites, which introducing a concrete set of civil laws; of which, are a standard for governing society. The similarities are striking, and in many cases,…

Mosaic law code and the Hammurabi law are two sets of laws that are significantly different. Hammurabi main focus is making a stable, and structured life. Mosaic law code, god wants his people to reflect his holiness. Both law codes have a different idea of what a responsible and faithful citizen should be. Both law codes try to enforce on what is right, wrong, and how the citizens should live. Mosaic law code plays a major role in the relationship the citizens have with god. They are able to…

In my perspective Robin Hood is not a true follower of Jesus Christ. I see Robin Hood as a great person, that does good. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” (BibleGateWay, Ephesians) Robin Hood does not follow this verse. Robin Hood can do as many good works as he wants. He can give to the poor, help people in need ,but if he does not have a true relationship with…
