Omnipotence

The End of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Slavery had become an extremely controversial issue among not only the religious group the Quakers, but also among political forces toward the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Before the American Revolution, slavery was widely used and accepted throughout the developed world, but afterward, people began to acknowledge the negative side of slavery.

GOD’S ATTRIBUTES OF JUSTICE This paper will attempt to demonstrate God’s attributes of justice through His never failing love. Many people associate justice with punishment and leave no room for love. One example of God’s attributes is how He reveals His love to the unjust with mercy. God has shown this from Genesis to Revelations. However, for this paper the focus will be on one example of God’s mercy from the Old and New testament. Believers and non-believers alike seem to have fallen away…

He also seems to doubt the ability of God, questioning his omnipotence as well as his intentions. It makes me wonder about Blake’s faith and how strong it is. He claimed to have many visions of angels and God, so one would assume his faith to be pretty solid. However, he watched his brother suffer and die of tuberculosis…

Deceit, an action so common and malicious—yet human’s fail to recognize deceit until the damage is already done. Exemplary illustrations of this behavior are prevalent in a book that is dated in the 17th century, featuring the stringent ways of the Puritanical culture called, The Scarlet Letter as well as a book that was set in the late 1990’s called Speak. The two main characters, Hester Prynne and Melinda Sordino, are both victims of deceit, and are ultimately victims of rabid and passionate…

Christian ideology (in other words, popular ideology) bases itself in the belief of Adam and Eve’s fall acting as man’s first sin and initial disobedience to God, Milton contorts this famous myth to justify God’s allowance of the fall despite his omnipotence and “eye [which] views all things at one view” regardless of place, time, or subject (Paradise Lost 2.189-190). Conveniently, Milton’s exploration of knowledge and free will in the form of allegory in Paradise Lost closely parallels and is…

Psychodynamic therapy originated as a divergence from psychoanalytic therapy and theory when Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung disagreed on multiple elements of theory and how therapy should be conducted. Jung did not agree with Freud’s belief that sexuality was the main motivational principle for human beings. Jung also felt Freud was mistaken regarding a lack of importance based on spiritual and transpersonal elements of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory (Safran & Kriss, 2014, p. 28). These…

Harvey Cox’s work The Market as G-d is an analysis of “The Market” and religion—exploring their shared natures and functions as forces within the lived human experience. Cox (in all but name) dissects the structure of a neoliberal economy to discover that the notion of “Free Market” moves and speaks much like that of religion. As Cox explores the relationship between “The Market” and religion within the paradigm of neoliberalism, one witnesses how a neoliberal economy elevates and enthrones the…

Although Frankenstein sets out to create a human being, throughout the novel he refers to his unnamed creation as “devil,” “creature,” “monster,” and “fiend.” These names imply that Frankenstein does not consider his creature to be a true human being. The question though is: why not? How does the novel distinguish the human from the nonhuman? Since the creature can reason, use language, and feel emotion, why shouldn’t he be considered human? How and why is the category of “monster” applied to…

A question arises whether the media is biased against liberals. The answer is yes. Another question comes around whether the media has biased news over conservatives. The answer will be yes. Many people would think that these questions and answers aren't interesting at all, due to its probability of searching evidence-anecdotal or they have to provide evidence of media bias as one stripe or another. The interesting and instructive part of studying media biases is inherent or structural biases…
