The early Hebrew religion and Zoroastrianism both shared similarities in their high ethical standards; however, Judaism only consisted of the Ten Commandments and a covenant with their god. Zoroastrians were also obligated to stand in the will of god, and unlike the early Hebrew religion, Zoroastrians had consequences in their afterlife for their actions in life, in which may have later influenced Judaism.…
When we look at religion in the sense of belief one finds that Christianity believes that God was the true creator, he made the heavens and the earth. Now if we were to look into the works of a Prussian philosopher Hegel which is also held by the Hindus one can see the view called pantheism which is in simpler terms the belief that everything is a part of God, if the universe did not exist then God did not exist either.…

Interestingly Christianity is a religion that came out of yet another ancient religion “Judaism” in the 1st century C.E. This religion revolves around the life, death, resurrection and also teachings of Jesus Christ who was said to be born through immaculate conception through Mary, grew up as a humble carpenter’s time and began his teachings as early as when he was twelve years old. This religion believes in trinity, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. According to Christianity, the Universe was created by God and this is described in Genesis - the first book of the Holy Bible. The opening lines of Genesis clearly explain cosmogony: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Jeynes, 2009).…
Of Woods and Fields The great Arcadian god Pan is probably one of the most well known gods in Greek history. Everyone has heard of Pan, and would more than likely recognize him if they saw him today. His unmistakable physique distinguished him from all other gods: “He had the feet of a goat, two horns on his forehead, loved noise and dancing, was hairy, dirty, lusty, ugly, and disheveled; yet, in his own way he was a charming creature” (Carpenter and Gula, 103). He was considered a lesser divinity of Earth, the god of woods and fields. Pan was very of the people, and was particularly fond of shepherds. He was considered their special protector; in a general sense he was a divinity of the country, of sheep, goats, and other grazing flocks, of forests, valleys, hills, and glens (Carpenter and Gula, 103). He was, on the whole, easy-going and lazy, loving nothing better than his afternoon nap, and revenged himself on those who disturbed him with a sudden loud shout from a grove, or grotto, which made the hair bristle on their heads, hence where the word panic is said to have been derived from (Graves,101). Pan was the son of Hermes, the Roman god Mercury…

Judaism is the oldest of the monotheistic religions, and its history is heavily connected to the history of the Jewish people themselves. Its story begins with the original agreement made between Abraham and God, circa 1900 BCE, when Abraham was called to leave his home in Ur and migrate to Cannan (later known as Palestine and Israel), a land God promised to give to his descendants. The second and chief agreement was made 450 years later when Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt (the exodus) back to the lands of Canaan. At Mt Horeb (Sinai), God gave the Jewish people the 10 Commandants and other rules to live by (contained in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible), marking the beginning of Judaism as a structured religion. Jewish civilisation after the mass migration thrived in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, initially headed by effective lords like Saul, David and Solomon, who built the first great temple in Jerusalem.…
