Hinduism And Buddhism
.... Vedas and the Upanishads. The Vedas contains eternal thruths that
were reveiled to the wise men. The Upanishads helped to explain the ideas
that occured in the Vedas. This is somewhat similar to Buddhism being that
the Buddah taught others what he learned as he sat under the tree. He
called those ideas the four noble truths. The first truth was that
suffering was universal. The second was that suffering is caused by desire.
The third is that the only way to stop suffering is to crush desire. The
fourth i .....

Brave," (as quoted from the National Anthem) and under that freedom does
it not give us the right to self-expression, to be brave and stand out as
an individual?
If Congress can not limit our freedom of religion, and our schools
are financially supported by that same Congress, why then should the
schools have the right to limit our free rights of religion and self-
-expression?

Judaism And Christianity
.... history and
the destiny of all nations.
I'm not going to delve any further into the history of Judaism. At
this point in time I will simply state that there are many differences in
between Christianity and Judaism The Jews believe in "anointed prophets,"
or someone who speaks for God. The majority of Jews rejected Jesus Christ
because Jesus claimed to be God. The Jews believe that Jesus was just a
prophet and he is not God. The Jews understand God as being set apart from
everything else. God .....

self. (Pardue, page 228)
Background
Near the town of Kapilavastivu, today known as Nepal, lived King
Suddhodhana and Queen Maya of the indigenous tribe known as the Shakyas.
(Encyclopedia Americana, page 687) Queen Maya soon became pregnant and had a
dream shortly before she gave birth. In this dream a beautiful, white elephant
with six tusks entered her room and touched her side. This dream was soon
interpreted by the wisest Brahmin, or Priest of Brahmanism, tha .....

Three Important Qualities Of Christ's Life
.... think that God is that of a human.
There is no possible way that this could be, because in John 4:24 Jesus
speaks "God is spirit, and those who worship him just worship in spirit and
truth.". Even though Jesus had flesh was of the Spirit he still did have
matter. He had flesh which is matter. In this flesh was very important
qualities. God still possesses all of these qualities even though He does
not have flesh. These characteristics would fit for either God the Father,
God the Son, or God the Holy .....

Existentialism

On of the major playwrights during this period was Jean-Paul Sartre.
Sartre had been imprisoned in Germany in 1940 but managed to escape, and
become one of the leaders of the Existential movement. Other popular
playwrights were Albert Camus, and Jean Anouilh. Just like Anouilh, Camus
accidentally became the spokesman for the French Underground when he wrote
his famous essay, "Le Mythe de Sisyphe" or "The Myth of Sisyphus". Sisyphus
was the man condemned by the gods to roll a rock t .....

standards. Some of today's lawyers bend the truth. People, who deserve a
life in prison walk free today because of people who twist the facts.
Their is a definite similarity between those who have power but do
not have moral standards today and Aaron's sons thousands of years ago. In
all these years people have not changed. Now people have technology that
allows them to break laws even easier than thousands of years ago. Without
pressure on law and morals, p .....

George Berkeley: His View Of God
.... and David Hume upheld the belief that
sensible things were composed of material substance, the basic framework
for the materialist position. The main figure who believed that material
substance did not exist is George Berkeley. In truth, it is the
immaterialist position that seems the most logical when placed under close
scrutiny.
The initial groundwork for Berkeley's position is the truism that the
materialist is a skeptic. In the writing of his three dialogues, Berkeley
develops two characters: .....

End Of The World As Told In The New Testament
.... don't ever recall reading
in the Bible about any natural disasters, other than the Flood. That is
one point that really sticks out to me that really makes me believe this
view, especially in the increase lately in all of the natural disasters
happening.
When Jesus comes down in the second coming, I feel that all nations
will mourn, just like others have done when they learn of their wrongs. It
is then in which all Christians will go up Heaven and begin to reign up
there, at which at the same .....

healthy mind."
Some, however, contrary to their higher interests, have refused to have God
in their knowledge and thus have become vain in their reasonings and
foolish in their philosophy (Romans 1:21,22,28). They do not see the folly
(Psalm 14:1) of saying there is no God.
The Christian has not only the obligation to "give answer to every man
that asketh you a reason concerning the hope tha .....

law. The original law said that public school teachers in gr ades 1-6
"shall announce that a period of silence, not to exceed one minute, shall
be observed for meditation." This law did not work for long, because it
still allowed oral prayer in public high schools. Later in 1981, the
Alabama State Senator D onald G. Holmes successfully passed a bill that
included all grades calling it "the moment of silence" thi .....

The course of religion consists of 6 units, some of them concerning
what we believe in, why we believe in it, and what can be observed in the
future. The religion course encourages us to explore our heritage and our
beliefs, something we may never had fully understood. The course helps us
to fully understand why we go to a catholic school, for one thing.
The course gives an overview of the history of the religion, and
what has happened through centuries. It shows us what we .....

punishing the body is part of the path to salvation. Christianity is
nothing like this. Many Christians live in highİclass society.
Christianity is one of the most appealing in that any sins may easily be
corrected and that Christians may live comfortable, if not wealthy lives
without guilt.
Christianity, like other religions though, has many weaknesses.
Although as time goes on, Christianity is slowly evolving and tr .....

"all men aspire to the highest, and most of them spend their lives seeking
money and power only because they see nothing higher."7 Followers also
believed in a spiritual hunger, or the need to find themselves one with the
world. In addition, they believed in "an ascending hierarchy of spiritual
values rising to absolute good, truth, and beauty."8 Transcendentalists
