the motto for our country is "In God We Trust", so maybe all those that are believers in God should stay and just do as they were instructed by Jesus to love and serve others as He showed them by His example and His love, but always keeping their hearts and minds on God and things above. The bible is pretty clear about Christians seeking the kingdom of God first, and to walk by faith not by sight.

our brains. And today, even on this late date of 2014, religion is still a huge factor when it comes to our minds and our culture. Western culture is what currently dominates an ever globalizing world, and two of the Abrahamic faiths, Judaism and Christianity, are the basis for Western thought.

The experience of war is different for all involved. Victims feel pain. They are isolated and forgotten, thinking no one remembers their plight. Especially those who are physically removed from their communities and homes, locked in prisons and concentration camps, unsure of what each moment will hold.

The Effect of Religion in the Early United States Religion has been a part of America from the start. Years before the country was even born people used the land in North America to escape strict religious laws and regulations in England. Religion had much to do with the shaping of the United States, and not always in the best way. Puritans were a religious group that sought to purify the Church of England (Foner Give me liberty!: an American history A-94). The Puritans themselves did not…

Throughout the history of church there have always been questions about the reliability of the canon (books of the Bible.) Some people believe there should be more books added to the canon (apocrypha) while others believe that certain books be stripped away from the canon. I have prepared myself to have a personal conversation about the authority that establishes the canon.

his plans and needs (knowledge he needs humans to have, if he wants his plans carried out by them.) Revelatory experiences are the backbone of mysticism in the western tradition. The starting point for all three major world religions--Judaism, Christianity, and Islam--was Abraham’s first revelation and covenant with God.
