Persuasive Essay On God

1. The Cosmological Argument for the existence of God is based on the principle of cause and effect. What this basically means is that the universe was the effect of a cause, which was God. One of the oldest and most well known advocates of the Cosmological Argument was Thomas Aquinas who outlines his argument for the existence of God in his article entitled The Five Ways. The first way in his argument is deals with motion. Aquinas says that in order for something to be in motion something had to move it because it is impossible for something to move without the presence of some sort of outside force upon it. Therefore the world around us, nature, and our very existence could not have been put into motion without the influence of the

All moral arguments for the existence of God work on the principle that we all have a shared sense of morality. Despite cultural differences, broadly speaking, humans worldwide have a vague idea of what is right and what is wrong; a moral argument for the existence of God would say that this mutual understanding is proof of God's existence.

Religion was the third value that was a key to the success of Louie. Louie went through many things. A couple of things he went through were: many attacks by the Japanese when he was in the Air corps, being stranded in the ocean for forty seven days, and being a prisoner of war at Ofuna, Omori, and Naoetsu for two years. When he was a prisoner of war he was always tortured by the Japanese guards and especially by Mutsuhiro Watanabe, the bird, who was the commander. They injected Louie with the dengue fever several times to see how much his body could take and he slept with maggots. The bird beat him all the time and he ended up leaving him death in one ear. When American planes got closer the bird made the guards punch each prisoner 200 times

Many philosophers and theologians have provided varying arguments for the existence of God. These arguments are either a priori, understood independent of worldly experience and observation (Ontological Argument), or a posteriori, dependent on experience and based on observations of how the world is (Cosmological and Teleological Arguments). This paper will focus on the Cosmological Argument, and show that its underlying principle, the Principle of Sufficient Reason, fails to establish it as a sound argument for the existence of God. To accomplish this, I will, first, define the Cosmological Argument and the Principle of Sufficient Reason; then explain the argument, and how it is based on

We go throughout our myriad days, the good days and the bad days, but we rarely care about history. It’s unbelievable how earth is set up, but it’s also appears very scientifically planned. You may not believe in anything, but somebody had to do all of this. God’s not dead. We will all have to face him someday and I can’t tell you how to live your life, but I can substantiate he created all of this in an assertive way. God is alive, for scientific and emotional reasons.

The Argument for the Existence of God It is an undisputed fact that some people claim to have experienced God. It is these religious experiences that have been used by philosophers to argue for the existence of God. The main way of expressing the argument from religious experience is as follows: P1 Someone experiences an entity C1

Science and myth have been known to have conflicting ideas often. However, also not uncommon for science to disagree with itself. This can be seen by the two creation theories that were the most widely supported, the Big Bang and the Steady State theories. The Steady State Theory was the Big Bang’s primary competitor. It proposed that the universe “…was steady or unchanging, except for its size and the amount of matter it contains” (Jones, 1992, p.116). This idea of creation was based upon the notion that matter was constantly being created in the universe with “…no beginning or end in time, and from any point within it the view on the grand scale…is the same” (Encyclopædia Britannica, 2016, n.p.). This creation was extremely slow, at a rate of one atom per 1,000 cubic miles of space every century. Matter that is created appears to be relatively the same as matter seen previously. In other words, it appears in the same forms observed in the universe, such as stars, galaxies, and planets.

The pledge saying Under God is a good reason to why students shouldn’t be forced to recite the pledge. The addition of “Under God” in the pledge forces whoever is reciting to swear allegiance to “monotheism”, Goodwin wrote. This suggests believing in a specific religion that the person reciting may not be apart of. Also, the addition of “Under God” was urged by religionists. Including the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men’s club. All of which are suggesting a religion (Freedom from Religion).

I have always considered myself to be someone who is bright, talented, and a poor judge of my own qualities. According to my father, a man who I admire greatly, I am mistaken about at least two of the above-mentioned attributes. In reality, I frequently push my best efforts for the night before an assignment’s final due date, and I always make sure to have a few razor-sharp excuses hidden up my sleeves at any given moment. I am opening this essay like this intending to have my esteemed reader(s) know that I am not someone who wants to sell a façade to you. Despite those struggles that I admittedly possess, in all legitimacy, God has been helping me work through my propensity for procrastination and a general attitude of academic coasting.

At the start of every school day, students in the United states pledge their allegiance to their country. But is it only their country their pledging allegiance to? It is clear that the government is blatantly trying to coerce children into believing in god, therefore I believe they should remove the phrase “under god” from the pledge.

We go throughout our days, the good days and the bad days, but we rarely care about history. It’s unbelievable how earth is set up, but it’s also appears very scientifically planned. You may not believe in anything, but somebody had to do all of this. God’s not dead. We will all have to face him someday and I can’t tell you how to live your life, but I can give you proof he made all of this. God is alive, for scientific and emotional reasons.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.

The religion that I am proposing to you, and encouraging you to join is Gaheism. Gaheism is a religion in which anyone can join, even you. Gaheism was founded 2300-1500 BC, by Lauren Miller. It is the 2nd largest religion in the world, after Christianity. The goal of Gaheism is to attain veruna, which is living your life right in order to have a second life after death. It is highly recommended to join this religion because it places an importance on family values, God, becoming a better you, and finding inner peace. Gaheism encourages you to better your life by making yourself a better being, and also the people around you. Although the world is not a so great place, this religion explains and shows that even though everything may not be all great, you can still find happiness and peace within yourself. This religion focuses on non-harming any living being to hopefully make society a better place. It also places emphasize on caring for the environment, community, and taking care of it for our sake.

Life is full of many difficult decisions and debatable topics. A widely debatable topic today, also known as the creation of all human life, is the views related to child birth and abortions. While doing some extensive research, I came across an article discussing the “Army of God”. This anti-abortion extremist group is known for their “use of violence to support the criminalization of abortion in the United States”(Bowman). As many other extremist groups, the group uses different tactics to lure others to believe as they do. Through their use of graphic images that are free to anyone that’ll like to use them to protest or as flyers, “they shock those who may be pro-choice supporters or particularly those who are ‘on the fence’ in relation to this issue; they have a high propaganda value” (Bowman). With them being anti-abortion, these individuals are against abortion and any provider or supporter of abortion. Not only have they verbally expressed their views, but they’ve gone as far as participating in many violent acts. Examples of these acts include murders of doctors and attacks at facilities that offer abortion services (Bowman). In satisfaction of their actions and beliefs the group has provided links to so called “heroes” and “activist involved and incarcerated or killed for the anti-abortion movement” (Bowman). This simple act of praise demonstrates their strong sense of faith that what they believe and stand for is moral. To finalize their strong views they have

I can't even render a guess on how many Internet videos I've watched over the years showing atheists and people of faith debating God's existence. Each side always offers some compelling and some not so compelling evidence; but no matter which way the conversation goes, both sides steadfastly stand their ground without managing to influence the other one iota. I'm especially amused by those videos that claim, just in their title alone, to have articulated one particular argument that unequivocally crushes the other side with a powerful use of words or incontrovertible facts. Only after watching do I learn it's just another chimera.
