Concept of the Transcendent , the Human Person and Social Reponsibility
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, today I am going to be talking to you about Judaism and the agnostic. I will be comparing and delivering insights to the concept of the transcendent, the human person and the social responsibility.
Religion is a social conduct based on belief. Non-religious groups and thoughts are also social groups and conducts based on a belief. Rational thought, acceptance of scientific knowledge and a sense of right and wrong are common themes as to whether the individual or the society are based on religious or non-religious concepts.
The concept of the transcendent: Religious people have a belief in some divine or transcendent concept. Generally this can be called god but there are many people with religion or transcendent worldviews with a sense of the spiritual.
Jews belief god is a transcendent, immanent and creator. Jewish people firmly belive that god transcends human experience or form. God is to be treated with great deference and respect by the jews. Many jewish people consider the name of god to be too holy to mention except when addressing prayer.The word agnostic comes from the Greek a-gnostos and it means ‘without knowledge’ so an agnostic person does not have enough knowledge to accept weather god exists or not. Agnostics can be divided into two groups. One group is uninterested in god or religion. It does not play a huge role to their daily lives and while they acknowledge the place of religion in society the fundermental beliefs of that religion play have a huge influence on their lives. These people may describe their beliefs as “don’t know , don’t care”. The second group contains people who are actively searching for some meaning outside their own existence. Weather because of expectation of proof or religious experience which has not yet occurred to their satisfaction, these people place themselves in the unconvinced category.
The human person Jewish people acknowledge human importance as some part of god.
