People should make decisions every day, some of those decisions are easy to make, while others are quite difficult to implement.

In moving west for gold and exploration, growth in the literal Battle of the Sexes, or the building of a nation. Unity has brought power to the weak and made them great.

But those who have authority resting in the palms of their hands, it does not make them perfect.

Authority is defined as the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. Coincidentally, authority is found virtually everywhere, including in religious establishments. An issue has arose in many different circumstances, and continues to create religious debates all over the world. The issue is the amount of authority a community of faith should have over its members. Although many argue that this authority is needed in religious establishments, I disagree completely. I believe that a community of faith should possess no authority over its members. There are many of reasons why I think this, and I will soon discuss them. There are several advantages of a community of faith attaining great authority, while there is also an array of disadvantages.

However, I believe that numerous benefits can occur when a community of faith attains a lack of authority over its members.
