Is there a God? The problem with this question is‚ there is no definition of God‚ the perception of God is different in everyone’s mind. This is the one question that every human being asks themselves. The ultimate question. A question with a million answers‚ therefore I cannot tell you the definition of God‚ as an Atheist I don’t have a definition of God because I don’t believe in any gods‚ every concept of God I’ve been presented with‚ I have rejected as baseless‚ if I make up my own definition

On the outside of Yusef Komunyakaa’s "Thanks" is a very hopeless type of story about a young man in the Vietnam War who recounts events in which could have been his last. He gives thanks to certain objects‚ as if they were the reason that he did not in fact get shot‚ or that he didn’t trip over a landmine. The thanks he is giving could be interrupted as thanks to God for these objects‚ or a downright statement of a lack of god in his life or this war. Komunyakaa is making a statement about the war

Elie has been a follower of God ever since he was brought into this world‚ and truthfully I cannot imagine him ever giving up hope in his God. I would have to say probably the only thing in the world that could have ever managed to make Elie even doubt his God one bit would be the holocaust. It would be understandable because throught the entire novel he is faced with many ’obsticles’ that would have easily made anyone turn their backs on God. Elie is a different case though‚ from a young age starting

Jose Vittorio D. Abriol TREDTRI V24 "Discovering God" To everyone‚ God is a question of concern. There are people who are very religious and cherish Him‚ and there are people who don’t believe in Him. Some people know God only as a character in a Bible. Many people around the world talk about feeling the presence of God. Many say "God is on my side." As a member of a Catholic family‚ I believe that there is really a God. He may be intangible but I can assure that there is His presence. I

DESCARTES’ GOD Do we need a watchmaker god or the Christian God and how is it related to living a good life? The subject of god has always fascinated me‚ and I love to read how others interpret their personal gods. It is also interesting to see how people prioritize their gods in their life and what importance they give their gods. I believe that the Christian God is the true God and exactly what we need to live a good life. We need to have a goal and an end‚ which is eternal happiness with God. Descartes’

will contrast the God of Epictetus‚ and the God of Augustine‚ and in the end‚ my stand will be clear. Epictetus and Augustine both identify God on basic level. Epictetus says‚ "Where the essence of God is‚ there too is the essence of good. What is the essence of God?......Right Reason? Certainly. Here then‚ without more ado‚ seek the essence of good." He says strive for goodness‚ live in conformity with it‚ and you will find God. God is the vital force

i thank You God by e.e.cummings In ‘i thank You God’ cummings expresses his spiritual rebirth with the renewal of how he sees the world‚ as if for the first time. The first instance of his playing with punctuation and grammar appears in the title and first line. He lowercases "i" and capitalises "You" to show the difference between the speaker’s view of himself and God‚ placing God above the speaker. The line draws from Cummings’ perception of God in his later years of life‚ when he believed that
