The Battle for God

Lincoln’s Battle with God by Stephen Mansfield depicts Abraham Lincoln’s lifelong relationship with religion.

Mansfield begins the book by talking about Lincoln’s childhood and relationships with his mother and father,

The Battle Between God and Science When children are little they ask simple questions like “Why is the sky blue?”, but as they grow older they ask tougher questions like “Does God exist?” and if so “Why have I never seen him?” Parents easily brush these questions off with “You don’t have to see him to know he exists”, but that only makes the child more frustrated. That’s where parents are wrong though in order to believe then God must be seen; it’s the only logical way that people understand things

The existence of God and the battle between good and evil has been a topic of much discussion for centuries. Through the philosophical scope, there is a “Problem of Evil” that challenges the existence an all-powerful God if there is evil in the world. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, was a German philosopher who argued about the topic of the problem of evil. Leibniz argued that (1) evil is not necessary; (2) that there is evil in the world because as humans we are restricted in our knowledge since we are

accomplished through the reproductive process and a species’ ability to adapt to nature’s unforgiving vicissitudes. Mankind’s rationality and throbbing self-interests are what make Him the winner of the global battle between all species. In the contents of this essay I hope to elucidate upon free will, God, the nature of truth, a new ethical theory, its implications, and the deterministic factors which justify its existence.

Grendel who is the first monster Beowulf battles snatched up 30 men and it is to be said that beowulf has the strength of 30 men. Beowulf is an epic poem translated by Burton Raffel. In Beowulf there is three battles with three different monsters, Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. The three battles have a symbolic meaning throughout the whole book.

Thesis: The standpoint of Christianity proves that Belief in God and Beowulf believes that God will always help him through everything that stands in his way. In each battle, his faith lowers while the use of human objects gets bigger. In the end, Beowulf loses sight of God, therefore, he loses his battle and dies.

On the seventh day they marched around the wall seven times. The seventh time they marched they shouted out, the priest blew their trumpets and the walls came down.
