Heroic Influences
While naturalists have no alternatives, the ungodly thinking trilemma only affects thinkers who think as if they were ungodly. Of course, Christians are quite capable of ungodly thinking. We confess our fault. It’s just that we have a better option. In contradistinction to this better option, the ungodly trilemma claims that all thinkers are limited to three choices for thinking. It not only ignores divine revelation but also denies demonic influence.
Clearly, denying demonic Influence is failing to deal with reality, yet demons don’t help reasoning. While occult spirit guides give the illusion of help, they’re deceitful and dangerous. And while we don’t want to glorify the devil, we don’t want to deny what God has revealed about him either.

    (indent)One of the most well known figures in Christianity history is that by the Roman Catholic Church, Saint Nicholas of Myra. His fame has grown throughout the centuries through stories and legends of his life and deeds.

    A second way demon might distract us from God in a way to have us justify our distraction is fear of ridicule. Suppressing and in turn being ashamed of our religion may seem reasonable and harmless at first but it actually is highly destructive towards our faith. If we are ashamed of our faith we are essentially turning away from God while these demons are exploiting our insecurities and fears to look…

    Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to gain electrons, while reducing agent is a chemical substance causes other substances to be reduced and itself oxidized. Procedure: For this lab was used metals and substances provided in the lab oxidation-reduction pack, and some extra materials. Using the well-plate and the correct amount of drops and the right metal on the right well, to see the reaction with each different substance. Observations: This experiment required some time and patience to analyze the results. For each well required a different substance and a different metal to be inserted in the well. Different metals react faster or slower depending the substance they are added. Na2SO3 with magnesium  bubbles appeared around the magnesium piece and we could predict a reaction. MgSO4 with zinc  No reaction observed Zn (NO3)2 with lead and aluminum  No reaction observed FeCl3 with lead and aluminum  reacts with foil, the piece dissolves in the solution and the lead piece seems to be oxidizing. CuSO4 with iron  the screw seems to be oxidized quickly; it changes the color of it to a pinkish tone.…

    In this post, I will discuss the viewpoint of the critics who believe that the doctrine of the Trinity supports polytheism. According to McGrath, in the early part of the nineteenth century, Thomas Jefferson was one of the first leading critics to speak against the doctrine of the Trinity. Jefferson referred to the doctrine as “metaphysical insanities (McGrath, 299).” He argued that these metaphysical insanities “hindered the religious growth of humanity, in that they represented relapses into polytheism, differentiating from paganism only by being more unintelligible (299).”…

Or is it something else? Well, ¡§The Heroic Outlook¡¨ and Walt Disney¡¦s ¡§Hercules¡¨ Apollo gives you some ideas of what is a hero. While the classical Greek heroic ideal and Disney¡¦s presentation of a hero share some similarities, in the end they are very different. In both ¡§The Heroic Outlook¡¨ and Walt Disney¡¦s ¡§Hercules¡¨ Apollo, hero is being defined as a man who has being endowed great abilities and is strong and brave. Although there are some similarities, there are still more differences between them. For example, hero in ¡§The Heroic Outlook¡¨ is a person who pursuits honour.

    There was a hero, whose name is Empathy. He is from the world called Sylverna. Empathy has the power to control the feelings and emotions of others. Empathy has had the power to control others ever since he was born. At the age of six years old Empathy has had trouble controlling his powers, he is unaware of the gift that he has. One day while Empathy was playing basketball with his co-workers from footlocker, when a royal messenger from another world called Palooza comes running towards him like a maniac. The royal messenger tells Empathy that King Silver of Palooza needs to see him, to ask if he will go on a quest to save his daughter from the nasty, awful, and grim Cyclops. At first Empathy thought it was a joke, but then he saw the seriousness on the messenger’s face. Empathy agrees to the invitation. The royal messenger leads Empathy to the backroom of footlocker where the portal to Palooza is. As soon as Empathy is about to walk through the portal to Palooza, the royal messenger yells out, “there’s one catch, you will have to defeat the five headed monster. Using your powers to prove you are worthy to come into our world!” With the snap of a finger from the messenger a five headed dog appears it was the most hellish thing Empathy has ever seen it had bad breath, a slobbery mouth, and big yellow popping eyes. Empathy is about to face the five headed monster but all of a sudden he felt that the monster didn’t want to be savage but so many people saw him as a beast so instead of killing the five headed monster he decides to treat him nice and be friendly and uses his mind to control the monsters feelings. Once the monster has calmed down the royal messenger tells Empathy that he passed the test, and that he has learned the lesson to not judge someone or something by how they look or behave. The messenger tells Empathy that he can now pass through the portal to the world Palooza.…

They settle to simply state that it is unknown whether evil exist or does not exist. The consequence with this mindset is that the agnostic faces a pessimistic,…

    In the evil demon argument, Descartes is not denying the existence of God. The way the argument is presented, Descartes makes it seem as if the evil demon coexists with God. Therefore, when his mind is being deceived or being given false information it is not from God but from the evil demon. From this skeptical argument, one would come to doubt the…
