Celebrity Atheists
In today's society, people care more about celebrities than they do about the people in their own neighborhood. Even more disturbing people follow celebrities as if they are prophets. They even try to share the same beliefs Kabbalah has reached the height of its popularity with a-list celebrities like Demi Moore, Madonna, and Britney Spears. Tom Cruise has done the same for Scientology. Therefore, it would only make sense for George Clooney and Angelina Jolie‘s disbeliefs to have the same affect as other celebrities' belief. Keeping this in mind, there is only one conclusion I can come to that; celebrity atheists will make the death of God a reality. This may be because society idolizes celebrities, the media, and seeking truth through

    Jesus and Leslie Sickles

    Dear Friends, My name is Leslie Sickles, I am the Executive Secretary and Christian Education Coordinator for Elmwood Avenue Presbyterian Church in Erie PA. I am familiar working with our Presbytery as I was the Chairperson for Christian Education and currently serve on the Mission & Social Witness Committee for the Lake Erie Presbytery. I am hoping I could appeal to the churches in Pittsburgh for help. My daughter was flown by life-flight to Pittsburgh to give birth to my grandson. He was born May 12, 2008 at West Penn Hospital as a preemie weighing one pound, three ounces. With a many prayers and possibly a miracle, Trevor is still with us. He was in West Penn for five months and has been home for five months up until three weeks ago. He picked up one of those nasty viral infections and it went to his lungs. He was flown by life-flight to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He is still on the respirator and as of today a little better. My daughter Valerie and her husband Ryan Millimaci have been by his bedside as much as possible. What they are in need of is a short term apartment. They have been told that his recovery in the hospital is going to be months. We have been busy trying to find an affordable place ($800 or lower per month). The Ronald McDonald House is full most of the time. They have been staying at Rev. Ellie Johns apartment but the tenants below her do not want them there. We do not want Ellie to have to move because of us and her gracious generosity. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give or steer me in the direction that could help. Thank you! Have a wonderful day celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! God's Blessings, Leslie Sickles (814)864-4809 (church/work) (814)868-0519 (home) (814)504-0353…

    -1This is a response to H.J. McCloskey's Article, "On Being an Atheist". While I believe that Mr . McCloskey put a lot of thought into this article I think he made some assumptions about all theists that are not necessarily correct.…

    Christopher Hitchens is the perfect example of an Atheist, and the perfect orator for it as well. Hitchens is extremely radical with his arguments and he has no problem telling other philosophers that their theories are wrong. Comparing Hitchens to those who have been called, “the founders of modern atheism”, is no easy task. Feuerbach, Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche do not hold views that are as radical and morose as Hitchens appears. When referring to the radical style Hitchens encompasses, the founder who holds the most similarities is Nietzsche. At a glance, it would appear that that Hitchens is in no way like the founders of modern atheism, as he is the only one to declare himself an actual atheist. However, as one…

    I find the religion in the Popular Culture of the greatest interest to me. Popular culture according to one definition reaches a larger audience. When popular culture uses the images of religion to portray a message I see the message as more of a counterfeit intended to deceive the world and ultimately take the place of God. Subliminal messages our powerful and that is how I see religion when it is used in popular culture. I have much talk on-line about several famous celebrities being associated with the " Illuminati". The Illuminati enthusiasts seem to agree it is a modern-day secret society with ancient roots that is made of up powerful and elite individuals who conspire to control the world — politics, government, religion, entertainment…

    Anaxagoras was one of ancient Greece’s first atheistic philosophers whose claims about reality and the way it worked were very convincing, while also lacking adequate explanation to give them sufficient clout. When compared to traditional Greek religion, Anaxagoras’ position on the phenomena of human life was less anthropomorphic and considerably revolutionary. Additionally, Anaxagoras’ view on reality, specifically concerning nous, was a glimpse into the future of physics despite being grounded in a type of universal anthropogenesis.…

    Friendly Atheism Analysis

    • 1563 Words
    • 7 Pages

    William Rowe claims that an atheist can hold three different opinions about the rationality of theistic belief: unfriendly atheism, indifferent atheism, and friendly atheism (307). All three positions maintain their atheism by not believing in a supremely good, omnipotent, omniscient, eternal being (308). The first and most extreme of these varieties of atheism, unfriendly atheism, is the position that theistic belief is not rationally justified (312-13). The second variety of atheism, indifferent atheism, is the lack of an opinion concerning the rationality of theistic belief (313). The final variety of atheism, friendly atheism, is the position that theists are rationally justified in their theism (313).…

    Evangelicalism

    • 2149 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Evangelicalism did not evolve or operate in a space. It is essential to consider the ways in which members of this group participated in and changed their culture, and, conversely, to assess how its social context provided both the ideas which evangelicalism adopted or transformed and those which it actively rejected or resisted. As movements that came of age during the first half of the nineteenth century, Evangelical Protestantism can be understood most clearly in the political, economic, and religious contexts of post-revolutionary American society. Although the movement would come to effect profound changes in its society it was very much in a sense that the culture had grown ripe for its emergence. The tension between the evangelical movement and the past movements radicalism and centrism suggests that American society was still very much in transition from one era to another: the Revolution was not yet complete.…
