The Belief Of Religion And Religion

God is defined as a spirit or being that has great power, strength, knowledge, that can affect nature and the lives of people. Many individuals around the world believe in the existence of a higher being known as God. The dilemma of God existing has troubled and people for thousands of years. Labeling “God” for most people is not an easy task because everyone has their own concept of who and what God means to them. In this paper, I would like to show that there is a God and he is not dead. The two arguments in favor of the existence of God are reason and experience. The Teleological and Ontological are two moral arguments that effect reasoning in connection to experience. Reason is an ontological argument by St. Anselm of Canterbury in the

Religion was involved with many things in a person’s life. It affects things like social status, relationships, the economy, culture, and politics. The complex ideas of religion and politics have shaped societies. The Puritans have set their goal to make their society and way of living connected to God in every way, shape, and form. In the seventeenth century this standard to keep God by your side has deeply affected politics and lawmaking, and has even caused some people to be continuously persecuted. From the strength of their religious beliefs stemmed these radical ideas, which deeply affected lives in the 17th century. Though these ideas were a way of life at one point in time, if these ideas were applied to our government today the

One burning and enduring problem in philosophy to which we have given considerable examination is the question of the existence of God--the superlative being that philosophers have defined and dealt with for centuries. After reading the classic arguments of St. Anselm and St. Thomas Aquinas, the contentious assertions of Ernest Nagel, and the compelling eyewitness accounts of Julian of Norwich, I have been introduced to some of the most revered and referenced arguments for and against God's existence that have been put into text. All of them are well-thought and well-articulated arguments, but they have their holes. The question of God's true existence, therefore, is still not definitively answered and put to rest; the intensity of this

Religion is constructed on faith and belief of an individual even though it is the individual choice to follow it or not. It has stirred a lot of debates for years; those who are trying to prove that God exists throughout history and follow to modern day. While, those who are atheist are trying to prove their point of God does not exist. There are still more and more theories and debate over the subject of religious view. It is a matter of theism versus atheism; new and old philosophers have joined the debate and all with different sides to another philosopher’s theory or view on the matter. In this paper, I will attempt to illustrate the reasons given by Louis Pojman of why religion is good or bad, as well as evaluating Bertrand Russell argument about religion. This can define the meaning of life and the creation of life as we know it. It can change views or switch sides for there is always another explanation to exactly what religion is all about and having a superior ruler that created all.

God is referred to as one supernatural creature equipped with magical powers and special features. One of the feature of god is the ability to know everything that happens. This means nothing bad or good happens anywhere in the world without him knowing; thus god is all-knowing. God is also said to be all-good. This means everything that happens from god can only be good and consequently nothing bad can be done by god. Another feature of god is his ability of doing everything.

The question of God’s existence has lingered in the mind of man since the dawn of religion. The simple fact that billions of people consider themselves to have some allegiance to a deity means that this question deserves to be seriously considered. In this paper I will argue for the sake that God does exist and the reasons why. I will include many of the arguments found in our philosophy book and those covered in class as well as other subjects such as human suffering and the reasons God chose to make the world as it is today, also including examples from life and the movies we watched in class.

What could possibly be regarded the most controversial and most debated topic ever - Religion[1]. For a long time, it's been debated - mostly by theists and atheists, if it is truly beneficial to our society or if is mostly detrimental[2]. How could just looking up to a god be so detrimental for the welfare our world? While the existence of religion itself isn't controversial, when you start digging into the fundamentals of it things start to become more contentious[3]. In our world, we have an abundance of religions - ranging from Christianity, Catholicism, Mormonism, and the Islamic religion[4]. While they all vary in detail, they all share the same fundamental idea of the existence of a deity[4].

The belief in Gods has always existed throughout human’s recored history. Whether it be the Greek Gods: Apollo, and Zeus, or the Judeo-Christian God, believed by Christians in modern day society. The belief of God has always existed among humans, however, assuming God does not exist, what explains the cultural evolution of such a false belief, namely religion? I shall argue that the reason this false belief is successful is because it manipulates human nature better than any other belief by these three points: an avoidance of death (the soul), a sense of worth (knowledge), and a sense, or need of belief (faith).

In today’s world, most people have had at least one encounter with religion throughout their lives. For some people, religion is a belief that they must live by and follow the rules that it imposes. Some just view it as a practice that is optional. However, some just view it as an illogical myth. One of the bases of its belief is the believe of an all might perfect spirit that created the world called god. Many people around the world believe this belief, however there is still a great rising number of people who are bothered by it. Many scientist and even philosophers would argue that it is an idea that has just grown over the years yet has no evidence to be proven. Although there are many scientific theories that propose the creation of the earth, majority of Americans still believe in god. The numbers are declining but there is still a very high amount of the population that believes in god. There are arguments that say god exists, others say that he does not exists, but I believe in the existence of god.

Apart from the mystery of the origin of life itself, there has been nothing more mysterious, more confusing, and more shocking than religion. The world is composed of people from various backgrounds and cultures, practicing different religious beliefs. Each culture has got its religious belief system and hence it’s own Supreme Being, to whom they place their absolute trust and faith in the Supreme Being. The only bottom-line similarity among all these religious beliefs is the concept of salvation. Everyone related salvation to something that they are eventually given a good deed that one does throughout his or her life on earth. The central question that usually arises out of religion and the existence of God is why evil still conquers if there is a Supreme Being that indeed cares for his creation. This is what in turn brings theodicy.

Religion is the shared collections of transcendental beliefs that have been passed on from believers to converts, that are held by adherents to be actively meaningful and serious and either based on: formally documents doctrine, or established cultural practises [1]. Religion in philosophy presents many quandaries and theories surrounding the existence of the “supreme being” God with arguments concerning the universe’s existence, and humans’ ability to understand the nature, intentions and involvement of God. The main argument focused on throughout this essay is the ontological argument, claiming that once humans understand the concept and idea of God, humans should therefore see that God must exists. Ontology focuses on a Priori; knowledge that is independent of all experiences. The ontological

As a human being, the body is a vital part of our existence. In many religions, the body serves as a tool to become one with God. Religion over the years has shaped the understanding of the body through cultural, social and political systems. These ideas behind the body have provided great opportunities to connect with other participants with the Religion and the higher being that one is devoted to. Religion has provided a platform for maintaining a healthy body that contributes to the wealth of the mind and soul of an individual. Practices such as yoga and meditation have shown great benefits for the body. Although there are great aspects of the relationship between religion and body, there are some concepts of the body that also presents

This chapter explanations are rather intriguing beginning with Who is a God? A God is, “counterintuitive intentional agents, that a group of people reflectively believes exists, that have a type of existence or action (past, present, future) that can, in principle, be detected by the people, and whose existence motivates some difference in human behavior as a consequence” (Barrett, 2011, p. 97). This right here creates the images or beliefs that people hold dear to their heart throughout their lives. Next, people often ask why Gods? According to Barrett, we humans

When discussing religion, many people have different perspectives about religion beliefs and how to approach it. Religion is grouped in different sections such as, religion and spirituality, religion and philosophy, and religion and politics. Religion has many different views from different cultures because everyone approaches it differently with different beliefs also. To make something religion, is to have some type of belief in God, but everyone’s belief is different depending on the culture someone is located in. In society back then and today, religion has no set essence of a definition because of the different aspects people group religion in. This paper will explain the different aspects of what people believe constitutes different types of religion.

All over the world there is some kind of conspiracy. One is the Organized Church Conspiracy or the Organized Religion Conspiracy. Many people think that Organized Religion is a source of evil, however it can be a source of wars, genocide and dogmatism but, “An Organized Religion is a faith system with an over-arching structure worship practices, and administrate the organization” (What Is Organized Religion and Does the Bible Support It?). The Organized Religion Conspiracy or Faith System is evidently proven by telling us how religion is a form of mind control, how organized religion is affecting human population, and how religions are in the world around us.
