Singular God

According to Swinburne, it is reasonable to assume that the world is the way it is experienced and unless we have reason to doubt a religious experience then one should accept such an experience as truthful and prima facie proof for the existence of God. However, Brain Davies (1993) points out the most troublesome consequence of accepting Swinburne’s…

A common household name which remains to this day is Albert Einstein, an individual not only known for his scientific discoveries but also for sharing his contemplated thoughts on the universe. These thoughts consisted of intense religious as well as scientific beliefs, in fact a very famous Einstein quote is “Science without religion is lame, and Religion without Science is blind” and it is no surprise as Einstein himself was a Jew and having this strong religious background still…

on moral matters. Euthyphro defines piety as being that which the gods love. Socrates argues that this definition brings about a dilemma (named the Euthyphro dilemma) that Socrates believes has only two options, both of which challenge the common role that god and religion play in relation to morality. I will argue that perhaps these two options do not require that one completely reject the possibility that morality comes from god. One has the possibility of accepting his first option, although…

holiness, whether or not I believe holiness can be attained in this life, and how I think we can attain holiness. As I stated in many of my papers, I grew up Baptist and I believe we use a biblical definition of holiness. That is that God is the Holy of holies, since God is holy we too should be holy. We are called to be holy in Leviticus 11:44, I believe that means to be distinctly different than the world, we should try our absolute best be as spiritually pure as we can. To be holy means to…

My parents were never really religious. They instead fit nicely into the group of people who like to refer to themselves as “Cultural Catholics”, those who don’t really care for the the God aspect of the faith and instead only follow through with the traditions. As a result, I got Baptized And had a First Communion but never really went to Mass and therefore had a weak foundation from the beginning. Around the time that I was nine years old, my mom called me into family room and told me…

existence of a God has always been accepted by almost every people in history until the past couple hundred of years. Every civilization has developed their own religion over time. It is human nature to want to be a part of something bigger than him/herself. Some of these religions are very extreme, and others are simply a statement of belief. From the ancient Greek mythology in which there are hundreds of gods and goddesses that control different parts of life to the single all powerful…

worldview is centered with God. He is the beginning and end to our faith that develops a person’s worldview. He has given to us the bible, his word, to which we use as guidelines to live by and obey. We do this in reverence and respect for our father who in heaven. Not mention because we love him so very much.
