very much from the beginning of the semester except maybe for the fact that I would say that a basic knowledge of philosophy is necessary to every Christian who wants to be an effective witness in today’s postmodern society.

It is the story of creation by God who gave Adam and Eve a single rule-- don’t eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, they do anyway. This cataclysmic event triggered the end of life as they knew and would change the future for all of us. Sin was released upon the earth like ink spilled over a white paper. This unleashment is called…

theory that the natural character of curiosity is evil, Actaeon is undoubtedly to blame for Diana’s punishment for him. In accordance with Xunzi’s theories, man is at fault for allowing his desires to control him, which Actaeon does.

Mosaic Reflection Guide I’ve never been that good at Art but I love doing art (at least I hope what I make is good enough to be considered art). I just try to produce something with the best of my ability and hope for the best. In AP Art, we were given a project about mosaics.
