In what ways is the Holy Land an important site for all three monotheistic faiths? Holy land is an important site for all three monotheistic faiths because, for Christians it’s the city were Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead. For the Muslims it’s the place where Mohammad ascended to the heavens to meet God. Last but not least for the Jews, King David named it and was where Solomon had built the temple.…

Some say that Religion and Wisdom go hand in hand. That one is unable to thrive without the other. In this Explanatory Synthesis I will discuss Karen Armstrong and Robert Thurman beliefs and differences about the two subjects. I am going to be using the section “Homo Religiosus” written by Armstrong and the section “Wisdom” written by Thurman to compare the author’s views.…
Our worldview impacts all aspects of our lives because it is the foundation of how we think, make decisions, act, and perceive the world. Ultimately our critical thinking processes are colored by our beliefs and not necessarily grounded in reality.…
The past two weeks we have been introduced to systematic theology. Systematic theology is a collection of doctrines that cover every subject matter with all of scripture. It is not however, historical theology, which is concerned with the development of a belief. In order to fully understand systematic theology you have to know what a doctrine is and the difference between a major and minor doctrine. A doctrine is what all of scripture teaches us today on a specific topic. A major doctrine is one that has a significant impact on how we live our Christian life. An example of a major doctrine would be the deity of Christ. A minor doctrine is one that has very little impact on how we think about other doctrines and very little impact on how we live our Christian life. An example of a minor doctrine is baptism.…

Before reading this, I thought religious experiences only happened to biblical figures or really religious people such as priests and nuns. However, after reading this chapter I began to realize that they can happen to anyone. I realized I have had a religious experience recently.…
Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.[note 1] Many religions have narratives, symbols, and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and/or to explain the origin of life or the Universe. From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle. According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.[1]…
| The mantle or tilma on which the Sacred Image of the Blessed Virgin is imprinted is handwoven from the fibers of the Maguey cactus, a fabric which has a life span of little more than thirty years. It is six-and-a-half feet long by forty-two inches wide and has a seam running down the middle. Directly on this rough, burlap-like material is the exquisitely delicate figure of Our Lady, four feet, eight inches in height. This authentic portrait of the Virgin Mary has remained fresh and lovely for nearly five centuries and may be viewed today at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City where it occupies the place of honor above and behind the main altar. The Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of…
Religion has a negative impact on society. According to researchers, it decreases people's motivation to pursue goals. Researchers believe that religious people rely very much on God and are hence unable to effectively drive themselves towards their goals. Religion has also been faulted for the rise of extremist terrorist groups. It has contributed to the social, cultural and economic development of many societies. Religion has been used as a tool to maintain political dominance of the world order and is one of the biggest obstructions to scientific development and success. Medical science has faced some of the most disgusting attacks from religious fanatics hiding behind facades of morality and righteousness. Religion is now and has always been the cheapest and most effective way of controlling society.…
Religion is something which is common to all humans. Either they have been born to it or they have adopted it. Even those who do not believe in any particular god or religious teaching in fact falls in to a category as atheism. Therefore, writing a religion essay is a task relevant to all students. This is a common high school essay and students may be called on to write on religions which are other than their own. The aim of such essay writing assignments would be to increase awareness and empathy of other religions as much as to develop writing skills.…

As Victor Hugo once said, “I am religiously opposed to religion” and I agree with him completely. Religion has been a part of our world for centuries but not everyone has to believe in the same thing or even have a religion of any kind, it is all a choice and a right that we are granted. When I was younger my parents decided that I could believe in anything I wanted to when I grew up and that they weren’t going to push a specific religion on me with explicit beliefs and rules. The thought of being able to pick my own religion delighted me, I was extremely excited but I wanted to choose my religion carefully. We I found out that there were about 21 major religions in the world let alone minor religions and different branches of them in addition to that. I had a plan though; I was going to learn as much as I could about the major religions, find one I felt strongly about and then practice it. Sounds easy enough right? Well, I had no idea that I set my goals a little higher than I could reach. When I gained knowledge of these religions I found that they were all so similar with their belief systems and their rules, but I didn’t seem to be able to connect to any of them. Later, I established a theory that having a religion seemed to cause more harm than not having one at all. In my opinion the earth world would be better without religion, not just certain religions such as Judaism, Catholicism, or even Buddhism but religions as a whole. I am not insensitive to other people’s beliefs and religious views, nonetheless I feel having religion causes more harm in the world than it does good.…
