To us, it seems terrible that God could ask Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. But this story is supposed to be a sign of Abraham’s complete believe in God. Ultimately, God prevented the sacrifice due to the fact God wanted no longer Isaac’s death but Abraham’s religion. Because of his willingness to reply to God’s demand, Abraham is diagnosed as the father of our religion. We agree with in God must be as overall as Abraham’s belief was. We...

There are so many questions people have when it comes to faith. Questions that even lead people to give up on their faith. One of the most asked questions throughout history is “Why does God allow evil and suffering.” This is a question that stops people from even following God. There is so much evil and suffering throughout the world today, so if God is so powerful and so mighty, why does he not just stop it? How can God...

The common concern for an Atheist is the overlaying question umbrellaed over all religious traditions, the question of God’s existence, respectively, God’s allowance in evil and suffering. Cancer, mental health disorder, evil in the form of murder or spite, sickness… If there is a God, an all loving God, then why are these a part of someone’s reality? Theology relies on Faith. Religion isn’t always backed up with evidence, faith is the grounds of religion. Faith alone means “strong belief...

Jupiter was the ruler of the divine beings and was viewed as the lord of light, thunder, and sky. He was the defender of the Roman armed forces during fights. An impressive sanctuary was built in Rome to respect Jupiter and remains can still be seen today. He was otherwise called the divine force of equity, he was named ruler of the divine beings in the uncommon gathering which pursued the fall of the god Saturn and the Titans. In...

As I reflect upon my life, there is one personal truth that I have adopted in my mind; this truth is that I believe that God is nonexistent. My personal truth has dramatically changed from when I was a child to my formative adolescent years. As a child who strongly believed in the existence of God, I now identify as an atheist. The belief in God may provide hope and reassurance to some people, however, I find it to be...

Under liberal and rational thinking, many thoughts in the universe explain the concept and the idea of God. People determine the idea of God as an imaginary cosmic that is initiated to enhance personal and emotional protection. The aspect of this belief is based on the creation of a human-like image. It acts as a way to offer comfort as well as a perfect phantom designed as a psychological projection. The approach seeks to confound to the notion that religion...

Uncomfortable. When talking about religion things can get pretty awkward. Although most of us believe in God, we all see him differently. For example, my Mom’s boss is Jewish. She has to be careful when sending holiday cards for the company not to use Christmas trees or Christmas colors to respect her boss’s traditions. Christianity and Judaism are just two of the three monotheistic religions. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are the worlds leading prominent religions with over 19.7 billion followers...

The idea that God is Fashioner, Moulder, Architect, who gives form to formless matter,means in effect that in African thought creation is not by divine fiat. It is not Creatio ex nihilo (i.e. Creation out of nothing) as in Christian and Muslim belief. Creation is the outcome of the work of God’s hand, giving form as it were, to formless matter.[ Quarcoopome. T.N.O, West African Traditional Religion, African University Press, Ibadan 1987, Pp. 56 -57.] In African Traditional Religion the...

The existence of God has been questioned, debated, argued, pondered, philosophized by the ancients, by the sages throughout history and even by the social media commentators of today; and yet a definitive answer continues to elude mankind. This paper will provide reasoning to suggest that God does exist by presenting findings from Anselm’s Proslogion where he surmised that because a person has the ability to conceive a perfect entity, namely God, then God must exist; and from Descartes’ Meditations where...

Topic 2: The Meditations don’t just prove the existence of God once, but twice. What are these arguments and what is the relationship between them? In what sense is God foundational for the metaphysics Descartes elaborates in his great work? What are some objections to his view? Are they compelling? Your goal in this essay is to assess Descartes’ argument(s) for the existence of God and to arrive at your own conclusions regarding its persuasiveness. At a minimum, your essay...

In this paper, I explore the controversy of why human beings suffer; is it because of the gods or is it a consequence of human action? The former is something that I believe in; however, this seems untrue in the Iliad and the Odyssey. As a practicing Hindu, I believe in polytheism; for me, the gods are all knowing and are responsible for maintaining the moral order. Those who do bad deeds are punished and those who do good deeds...

Homer’s epic poem, The Iliad, depicts the prominent conflict between the Achaeans and the Trojans. The Iliad and The Odyssey have become staples in universal literature and the foundation of Greek culture to many. In both works, Homer implicitly celebrates the role he plays as a performer and conduit from the Gods “who have their homes on Olympos” (75,18), giving rise to a question I repeatedly asked myself: “Why does Homer invoke the assistance of Gods and Muses in The...

King Laius of Thebes received a shocking oracle from the God of Truth, Apollo, that his son would slay the father and marry the mother. Immediately after his son was born, Laius left it on an isolated mountain. Several years later, the King was killed during an encounter with robbers. At that time, Thebes was troubled by a Sphinx that nobody investigated the particular murderer. This Sphinx had the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the...

God. In the beginning, was the word and the word was with God, and the Word was God. Everything starts with God, but why do some people not believe in God even though there is proof? Is it because they don’t want to submit themselves to someone in authority? Or is it because they think it’s absurd that a supreme being created this earth? We, humans, are foolish people as we think we’re the highest out of all the species...
