ELIMINTATING WORLD HUNGER Brad Go Religion 30S October 20, 2014 “Let us pray that the Lord gives us the grace to envisage a world in which no one must ever again die of hunger. And asking for this grace, I give you my blessing.” The Church does not like to see that the world has to suffer or die because they deprived or can’t afford food. They are making an effort to prevent that from ever happening. The Church does not support world hunger and are helping organizations such as…

In addition, Fifty years ago there were a time when prayer was forced in schools. Many people brought up the debate of prayer being a way of being unfair and unjustifiable. Multiple people felt as if prayer was being forced on those that who may have no training or those who did not want to be associated with prayer. You will have to educate students on all religions you can not just teach them christian prayer, that’s how it will end with being unfair to other religions. If you are going to…

The complexity of Hamlet in Shakespeare’s Hamlet lies in the reasoning behind his procrastination: his religious perspective. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of being religious is “believing in a god or a group of gods and following the rules of a religion” (“Religious”). However, this definition does not apply to Hamlet, therefore indicating that he is not truly religious. Hamlet is not morally pulled in his religious beliefs; rather, his fear for what comes after…

Many philosophers and theologians have tried to defend, or substantiate, religious experiences as an argument from religious experience. Two examples are Swinburne’s Principle of Credulity, and Alston’s concept of doxastic practice. Richard Swinburne holds that if it seems to a subject something to be x on the basis of the subject’s experience it is probably the case that x is (Swinburne, 2004). According to Swinburne, it is reasonable to assume that the world is the way it is experienced and…

Last, this autobiography of Margery Kempe tells a lot to the reader concerning her personality. One can notice that she was a very engaged and passionate person. Her family background denotes the environment in which she grew up and the figures she kept as role model. She was proud of father, which she did not miss to mention many times in her book. Comparatively to her father, she did say anything about her mother. This could be explained by the fact that women at that period of time were not…

The fundamental nature of the Christian worldview is heavily reliant on the validity of the Incarnation. To blatantly assume that there is no empirical proof to provide validity for the occurrence of the Incarnation entails a foundational logical fallacy. For historical proof will be interpreted within the context of an individual’s philosophical beliefs, and can by affect be perceived inaccurately. Thus, a philosophical analysis to confirm the foundational truth of the Incarnation must precede…

awesome because then I can really have a more personal relationship with a group of students that I can talk to about God and help them through problems that they’re dealing with. The spiritual needs I believe are and were being met throughout the internship with each and every moment, when dealing with the message, life groups, and other spiritual building areas within the youth ministry. I really enjoy the way that the youth ministry that I was interning for ran each and every service. I…

The Pir states that the heart is the seat of loving devotion. The implied meaning here is that the heart of one smitten by prem pīḍā (pangs of love) and lāy (intense desire) eventually becomes the repository of prem bhakti or loving devotion for the Lord. The intensity of prem bhakti engulfs the a(n)tar (inner self), leading to a fixation and passion for the Beloved. In this state of loving devotion, the Pir advises his followers to remember the Beloved at all times. The word bhagtī, used in…

Angels of Peace Through the life we live, many of us have suffered many trials and temptations. I will save you the details of what was going on in our life at this time, but I will say that this was a very powerful moment in our life. For you see, when you are going through somethings, you feel as though you are all alone. And if you do not reach out to friends and family, you are alone. Many times in our life we do not reach out to others to help us because the issues that we are dealing with…
