We all have reasons we were given them. Some we prefer than others. I will give a little bit about my names, Christian Leon McCoy. As well as tell about their meanings, origin, and where they came from. Looking at my first name, Christian, you will find that it comes from a Medieval Latin name Christianus, meaning “a Christian”.

A name is something that “labels” who a person is. There are some common labels, and some uncommon labels. My parents contemplated between various names such as Mohammad, Ali, and Yusuf. My dad however wanted to give me an uncommon name to stand out towards others.

I found Feuerbach’s ideas about religion very strange to me, because I am a very religious person and I believe that God created all of us, not the other way around. As Feuerbach explains it he believes that, us humans, created the image of God in our minds. I agree with him to a certain extent when he talks about how we are divided into two selves.
