    Final Project Pl Muslim Mosques And Temples

    | I do not know much about the Agnostic faith except that they do not believe that the existence of God can or can not be proven. My own interpretation of this is Agnostics do believe in a God, they just prefer to take a more scientific approach to their faith. Muslims follow a faith of peace, mercy, and forgiveness and should not be confused with events that have taken place in the past. Whereas Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God, Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was a prophet like Muhammad, Abraham, and Moses.…

    comparison between the armory show and Hitler's degenerate art show

    Theists, atheist, and agnostics all believe in something. Whether it is the theists that believe in one supernatural being that has power over us. Or maybe it is the atheists that strongly believe there is no existing supernatural being that has control over the people. Or it might be someone like me that is Agnostic, which means I believe that the truth will never be known.…

    Atheism Vs Religion

    Can we be good without God? Atheism seems to be perfectly fine without God. How can we prove that we are or aren’t good with God? Science has showed the process with the discoveries that have proved to be a creator and a designed in everything – the cosmic, the big band, Cambrian explosion, galactic and stellar fine tuning, ect. And even the origin of life. With more than 30 years of experimenting on the origin of life in fields of chemical and molecular evolution they have a better look out how big the problem with the origin of life on Earth rather than to its solution. Atheists have one option, and it’s to build up on blind faith on the scientist’s progress they have made during the centuries of research. In a video Dawkins talks about…

    Why Do Religion Coincides With Philosophy?

    They call themselves as atheists, from atheism which means in Greek a “without” and theos “God”. They surmise that God is part of a realm that is pure speculation and illusion. This belief can also be asserted that believing in one religion is bad. In some point, these disbelief is caused by the fact that humans develop anxiety as they delve deeper on the explanation of different phenomena, which include sunrise, sunset, death and birth. If the vantage point is faith it could be religious in nature, but if the vantage point is rationality and philosophically then religion is just a psychological projection. Psychological projection is not a religious mindset at all. Unlike fundamentalism, mysticism and apologetics, psychological projection denies the existence of God as an objective, rational and existing being. God, according to this view, is just a human construct. This argument was supported by great thinkers like Karl Marx and Ludwig Feuerbach, which conclude that religion is just a result of the human psyche. Looking further on Karl Marx’s argument, he said that religion is just a fabrication of man to comfort pain anxiety and hardships of…
