Such examples come mainly from chapter VI in Moses, Cyrus, Romulus, and Theseus (VI. 27). Each of these examples used God as their means in achieving their own agenda. On the other side, other princes have been known to be cruel, but not pious, such as Agathocles of Syracuse who was “without religion,”…

Animals Have Souls Do animals have souls? Do people have souls? There are many differing definitions for the soul, and how can you begin to answer any of these questions without a chosen definition? Clarence Darrow’s “The Myth Of the Soul” and my secondary sources will conclude that yes, animals do have souls, and in fact, to think that they do not is much harder to believe.

attributes, John Paul struck me as a humorous and whimsical person. When we met each other for the first time, I expected quite a few jokes to be cracked and numerous humorous moments to come my way. In a very few moments we had had previously, he sounded funny and acted funny as well! So, the best I could do was consider him funny.
