- 451: Eutahania And Suicide In America
- ... terrible of all things, for it is the end.\\" Those that have had a healthy and good life, with a good education, and a high income but little faith in religion is more likely to favor euthanasia as a solution to their problems. They may not be able to cope with negative situations like a terminal illness and so they apply ... the issue, which makes them support it more than those that have not had an easy life, such as those with less education, a lower income, and more faith in religion can better cope with life’s problems and are therefore less likely to favor euthanasia. Clearly, people of great religious faith are often able to face dying with composure: They ... and dying are most strongly related to mental health in this participant sample. Also mental health factors may determine the distress associated with the prospect of death and dying, while religion may dictate the actions considered proper when dying.

- 452: The Case For The Existence of God
- ... is incurably religious--and has the idea of God in his mind--and if we assume that the world is rational, it is impossible that a phenomenon so universal as religion could be founded upon illusion. The question is highly appropriate therefore: what is the source of this religious tendency within man? Alexander Campbell, in his celebrated debate April 13-23 ... observe in rebuttal to such a claim that man, under the enchantment of a deceptive philosophy, can deny the most obvious of things. Those deluded, for example, by "Christian Science" religion deny the existence of matter and death. Some today deny that the earth is spherical or that man has ever been to the moon. But a denial of facts does ... forces'.... Do not be afraid of being free thinkers! `If you think strongly enough you will be forced by science to the belief in God', which is the foundation all religion. `You will find science not antagonistic but helpful to religion.'" . One cannot help but wonder what has caused many of the most prominent and brilliant minds of both days ...
- 453: Who Was Jesus?
- ... and 'Scotty' had actually quoted the same, exact parable at the end of the show! Funny that the writers of Star Trek predict the future to still hold the same religion as now, and 2000 years ago. Both Matthew and Mark write about the part of Pilate in His crucifixion. It seems to me that Pilate was a "good-guy", and ... to save only Jews, or the people in all the world (like Rome, the Sumarites, etc.)? That kind of makes me feel unsure of why Christianity has become the primary religion of Non-Jewish people. My God, the expansion of the Church was incredible from the time of Jesus! After reading Matthew and Mark during the time of Jesus on earth ... then reading Acts, I was shocked at the change! A few things that happen in Acts are strangely different than what I had expected after reading about Jesus and His religion. As I said before, I felt good about what Jesus had said in the previous books. But, it seems that things that happen in Acts are like a contradiction ...
- 454: Essay on the Intrinsic Flaws Inherent in Christianity
- Essay on the Intrinsic Flaws Inherent in Christianity Christianity is a religion in which events are claimed to have occured but which can never be proved. Those who practice it live by different morals than are preached by the most holy texts. It is an institution in which the most holy scripture is contradictory, and wherein the supreme being, by the very definition, cannot exist. Christianity is, therefore, a fundamentally flawed religion. According to the Bible, events have occured which are even more miraculous than the resurection of Jesus Christ. Events such as the stopping of the sun by Joshua (Joshua 10 ... shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master." (Genesis 3:16). This tells us that, according to the Christian religion, women shall naturally be dominated by men. This kind of behavior is not conducive to a being who believes in inherent equality. Women are repeadtedly treated as objects and ...
- 455: Anne Bradstreet: The Heretical Poet
- ... the foundation of the scriptures. Aside from a literal belief in the Bible, Puritans wholly accepted the doctrines of John Calvin and his stern legalistic theology. The Puritans held that religion should permeate every phase of living. The purpose of life was to do God's will; everything else was subordinate to this basic doctrine. The Colony set up by the English Puritans was essentially an experiment in Christian living. Religion and earning a living were the two priorities of the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In contrast to the Pilgrims, they were well-off and well-educated men, many ... read at all, read poetry, and many attempted to write it. Poetry in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, like other manifestations of intellectual life in the 17th Century, was dominated by religion. Early New England verse was religious both in motive and expression, and for the most part was didactic(Morison 216-217). Anne Bradstreet was one of the two poets ...
- 456: Shelley's "Ode To the West Wind": Analysis
- ... in the human and natural world. Shelley views winter not just as last phase of vegetation but as the last phase of life in the individual, the imagination, civilization and religion. Being set in Autumn, Shelley observes the changing of the weather and its effects on the internal and external environment. By examining this poem, the reader will see that Shelley ... on the meaning of a great leap and even a spring. Shelley uses the phrase "congregated might" not just to mean a collaborative effort, but to represent all types of religion. Shelley seems to use obtuse phrasing to frighten the reader and to show the long breath of the wind. Shelley wants the reader to visualize the "dome" as having a ... Is Shelley perhaps making a comment that at the root of people's faith is fear of vengeful god? Maybe, but the main focus of this poem is not just religion, but what religion stands for which is death and rebirth. Could line 34, also be a comment on Shelley himself? In the final stanzas, Shelley has the wind transforming ...
- 457: The Influence of Personal Experiences In Emily Dickinson's Poetry
- ... can learn a great deal about this remarkable woman. The poetry of Emily Dickinson delves deep into her mind, exposing her personal experiences and their influence on her thoughts about religion, love, and death. By examining her life some, and reading her poetry in a certain light, one can see an obvious autobiographical connection. All the beliefs and emotions Emily Dickinson wrote about were based, in one way or another, on the same aspect of her upbringing, which was religion. During her childhood, life in Amherst was based strongly upon religion and Puritan values. The distinctive Puritan virtues of simplicity, austerity, hard work, and denial of flesh, were ever-present disciplines in Emily's life (Sewall 22). Despite her stubborn ...

- ... the way it ought to be in a democracy; that’s us’) but, of course, class distinction are as clearly observed...” Out in Garden City the people are separated by religion; church affiliation influences class status. The Baptists, Methodist, and Roman Catholics are the Democrats who make up 80% of the population. Presbyterians and Episcopalians are the upper-class Republicans. Mr. Clutter’s views on religion was brought out because Bobby Rupp, a Roman Catholic is going out with Nancy, a Methodist. Religion plays a great part in the Clutters lives. Mr. Clutter was serious about religion. He headed the building committee for the newly completed First Methodist church, an eight hundred ...

- 460: Is The Idea Of Doctrinal Devel
- ... existing body of belief.’ (Essay, 353-4) Lindbeck’s book suggested that there are three current trends in theories of doctrine. The first, cognitive-propositionalist, stresses the cognitive aspects of religion, emphasising the manner in which doctrines function as truth claims or informative propositions. In the experiential-expressive theory, doctrines are interpreted as non-cognitive symbols of inner human feelings or ... propositionalist theory, which treats doctrines as ‘informative propositions or truth claims about objective realities,’ is dismissed by Lindbeck as ‘voluntarist, intellectualist and literalist’, saying that those who ‘perceive or experience religion in cognitivist fashion’ are those who ‘combine unusual insecurity with naďveté’. The problem with his dismissal of these theories is that he appears, according to McGrath, not to treat these ... demonstrate that the latter two are articulations of or responses to the former. Lindbeck’s own personal favourite view is that of the cultural-linguistic model. He says that ‘a religion can be viewed as a kind of cultural and/or linguistic framework or medium that shapes the entirety of life and thought.... It is not primarily an array of ...
