Religion, in some form or another, is the oldest fundamental belief every culture has in common. For a lot of people, it defines a way to live our lives. Religion accentuates the meaning of being good and righteous. It also sentences those of us who are immoral and do wrong.

Each person has their own perspectives on how to live morally, virtuously and within the rules of their belief system of a God. The film The Shack is based on the to selling 2007 novel., by William P

In a culturally diverse world, it is difficult for individuals and communities to express thoughts and opinions to one another well. It is especially difficult when it comes to disagreements and differences regarding religion. To overcome this struggle, it is important to be open-minded, accepting, understanding, and respectful of everyone – whether they have the same or different beliefs. Each religion has its own set of traditions, practices, and beliefs. Because of this, individuals of different

thing that comes to your mind? Maybe hope? Morals? Faith? Or maybe it's just another regular word? If you were to search up the word religion you’d probably get it’s definition, a system of faith and worship. But is that the real meaning? No. Hinduism and Buddhism are two major world religions.

Why is North Korea in the totalitarian state they are in now? These hypothetical questions can not be answered 100% correctly, however people from different religions have different explanations as to why god/god’s let bad things happen. This begs the question, is religion a worthwhile and beneficial practice for humans? The

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
