Heroic Influences
While naturalists have no alternatives, the ungodly thinking trilemma only affects thinkers who think as if they were ungodly. Of course, Christians are quite capable of ungodly thinking. We confess our fault. It’s just that we have a better option. In contradistinction to this better option, the ungodly trilemma claims that all thinkers are limited to three choices for thinking. It not only ignores divine revelation but also denies demonic influence.
Clearly, denying demonic Influence is failing to deal with reality, yet demons don’t help reasoning. While occult spirit guides give the illusion of help, they’re deceitful and dangerous. And while we don’t want to glorify the devil, we don’t want to deny what God has revealed about him either.

    A second way demon might distract us from God in a way to have us justify our distraction is fear of ridicule. Suppressing and in turn being ashamed of our religion may seem reasonable and harmless at first but it actually is highly destructive towards our faith. If we are ashamed of our faith we are essentially turning away from God while these demons are exploiting our insecurities and fears to look…

    The story of an archetypal hero has been told and written various times throughout history by unique and unrelated cultures. We have all heard the story about "Superman," "Indiana Jones," and other stories of an archetypal hero. What makes these stories alike?

    In this post, I will discuss the viewpoint of the critics who believe that the doctrine of the Trinity supports polytheism. According to McGrath, in the early part of the nineteenth century, Thomas Jefferson was one of the first leading critics to speak against the doctrine of the Trinity. Jefferson referred to the doctrine as “metaphysical insanities (McGrath, 299).” He argued that these metaphysical insanities “hindered the religious growth of humanity, in that they represented relapses into polytheism, differentiating from paganism only by being more unintelligible (299).”…

    Demons, on the other hand, seem to be a topic that many refuse to even mention. By refusing to talk about them, we can’t be educated about them. By ignoring them, we can’t recognize if we are dealing with them. If we never talk about them, we are saying that they don’t exist, or they are not relevant. In addition, if we do not address these spiritual bieing and only talk about Satan, then we might communicate a messge that Satan is far more powerful than he reallyis. They are usually depicted as very evil creatures sent to inhibit or harm humankind. It is very rare to see demons represented in any way shape or form as good or beneficial.…

    There was a hero, whose name is Empathy. He is from the world called Sylverna. Empathy has the power to control the feelings and emotions of others. Empathy has had the power to control others ever since he was born. At the age of six years old Empathy has had trouble controlling his powers, he is unaware of the gift that he has. One day while Empathy was playing basketball with his co-workers from footlocker, when a royal messenger from another world called Palooza comes running towards him like a maniac. The royal messenger tells Empathy that King Silver of Palooza needs to see him, to ask if he will go on a quest to save his daughter from the nasty, awful, and grim Cyclops. At first Empathy thought it was a joke, but then he saw the seriousness on the messenger’s face. Empathy agrees to the invitation. The royal messenger leads Empathy to the backroom of footlocker where the portal to Palooza is. As soon as Empathy is about to walk through the portal to Palooza, the royal messenger yells out, “there’s one catch, you will have to defeat the five headed monster. Using your powers to prove you are worthy to come into our world!” With the snap of a finger from the messenger a five headed dog appears it was the most hellish thing Empathy has ever seen it had bad breath, a slobbery mouth, and big yellow popping eyes. Empathy is about to face the five headed monster but all of a sudden he felt that the monster didn’t want to be savage but so many people saw him as a beast so instead of killing the five headed monster he decides to treat him nice and be friendly and uses his mind to control the monsters feelings. Once the monster has calmed down the royal messenger tells Empathy that he passed the test, and that he has learned the lesson to not judge someone or something by how they look or behave. The messenger tells Empathy that he can now pass through the portal to the world Palooza.…

    In many movies, a lot of people think the main character, which is usually the good person, is the hero in that movie. You can hear people saying, ¡§Oh, his is my hero.¡¨ But what is the actual meaning of hero? A good person? A person who is brave? Or a person who pursues honour through his action? Or is it something else? Well, ¡§The Heroic Outlook¡¨ and Walt Disney¡¦s ¡§Hercules¡¨ Apollo gives you some ideas of what is a hero. While the classical Greek heroic ideal and Disney¡¦s presentation of a hero share some similarities, in the end they are very different. In both ¡§The Heroic Outlook¡¨ and Walt Disney¡¦s ¡§Hercules¡¨ Apollo, hero is being defined as a man who has being endowed great abilities and is strong and brave. Although there are some similarities, there are still more differences between them. For example, hero in ¡§The Heroic Outlook¡¨ is a person who pursuits honour. On the other hand, the hero in Walt Disney¡¦s ¡§Hercules¡¨ Apollo is not like that; he uses his great abilities to help others, but not for his desire.…

    In the evil demon argument, Descartes is not denying the existence of God. The way the argument is presented, Descartes makes it seem as if the evil demon coexists with God. Therefore, when his mind is being deceived or being given false information it is not from God but from the evil demon. From this skeptical argument, one would come to doubt the…
