    years, merits such treatment.             However, when we couple Dante’s intense reverence for Virgil with his plea for his help, our understanding of the strength of his faith is enhanced. The Pilgrim invokes Virgil thusly: “O famous sage, [help me] to stand against [that beast], / for she has made my blood and pulses shudder” (I.89-90). Perhaps one can account for this behavior by noting that Dante, being heavily disoriented, upon seeing Virgil, whom he initially perceives as being a mere apparition

    My point of this rather circular letter wasn’t to preach at you- and if that’s what it’s sounded like I’m sorry, sinners shouldn’t pretend to be saints. All I’m trying to say is that our lives- the grand appeal of the ‘more than we are’, the sleepless nights of aimless philosophical questions that won’t even make sense the next morning, will be endless. Inevitable. All I’m saying is make memories. That’s all we’ll really have- the final truth. You’ve all heard the cliche ‘make the most of your time

    Confidant, Daughter, Fiancé, and Child I am all of these things to the people around me, but God wants me to be this to everyone. Love is an action word. I am constantly telling people that I love them. I do not just tell them with my words; I also show them with my actions. Love is giving. I always tell people that if I have it then they have it. I will give my last to someone in need. That is what God expects of me. How can I say that I love Jesus and I have never seen His face, but I see men/women

    Abraham, who was call by God to renounce the worship of the gods. Other religions did not believe in the afterlife. That we have another life once we die, either to go to heaven if we obey God or to hell if we did not. Reading the world’s religions make me realize that I have no idea of what Judaism is because even in our school in my country they do not say a lot about it, instead, they give you more information about Islam, and Islam only.

    A quote by George Carlin suggests: “Religion is like a pair of shoes...Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.” Jonathan Edwards, creator of a very distinguished sermon in history, just doesn`t seem to satisfy me. How was he expecting the crowd, which he termed “sinners”, to follow God´s path, in such a commanding, yet VIOLENT manner? Freedom of religion or the RIGHT to practice the religion you choose is definitely something he did not know of. As a Christian, I believe God
