In his chapter “World War Z And The End Of Religion As We Know It,” Gayle R Baldwin points out that the zombie attack on Earth started by a virus which was developed to control the population but turned catastrophic after its initial test. Later on the zombie virus may have been put under control but not completely, therefore, countries should be ready for another attack and when the time comes we humans need to unite with each other to defeat the enemy using violence. Violence is the key for survival while some might rely on religion for hope and for God to save them. However, Baldwin’s point about another deadly attack is unlikely to be deadly or to occur at all. The survival of the zombies in the prevalent weather is unlikely and more importantly the spread of the lab developed viruses is not true. Moreover, Baldwin’s lacks a central claim her evidence is based on others ideas as well as her structure it isweak but on the bright side the vocabulary is simple and…
All that was required of the human inhabitants was to listen, take care and continue to respect earthborn law handed down by the creation ancestors…
I think the French Wars of Religion was more about religious differences because ever since the French nobles became Calvinists, they would show independence from the central power. It created the conflict between Catholics and Calvinists where power was the main struggle making religion become a way bigger issue. The last of the wars would be the war of the Three Henry’s where it showed the overall religious differences between the Catholics and the Protestants. Which this was between Henry III and Henry of Guise versus Henry IV.…
Over the course of six years, more than 60 million people died in World War 2. No war was as devastating as this one. With as many losses as that, you must question the reasoning for it starting. Hitler took advantage of Germany feeling angry due to the Treaty of Versaille, and used historical anti-semitism to justify his horrific interpretation of Jews displayed in Mein Kampf, to create a lot of conflict that led to World War 2. Germany felt angered and wronged because of the Treaty of Versaille.…
Whether it be wars in the name of religion, a prayer before entering battle, or targeting Native Americans with the supposed goal of trying to enlighten them to Christianity, violence is perpetually linked to religious faith (Stout 275). This is particularly notable in America, a county which establishes itself as a super power due to economic power and the ability to triumph in a majority of it’s ever present wars (Stout 278). This topic is closely addressed in Harry S. Stout’s article, “Religion, War, and the Meaning of America,” in which Stout writes about the history of both war and Christian religion in America to show how these two entities intertwine with one another. He writes,…
Chung displays an arduous tone as he relays a new perspective of the Vietnam War. This ardor demonstrates the passion and love which had fueled the sacrifices of the Chung family and allowed them to stay alive and together throughout the devastating war. Their perseverance, motivated by love and respect of family, is the main component which drives Chung’s story with intensity and earnest. Not only is the family genuine in their love and respect for each other, but the passion and fervent desire to do anything for any relative truly encompass the memoir and bolster Chung’s theme of perseverance, family, and success amidst a time of war.…
Since the creation of religion, there has always been a debate to whether or not religion is the main cause of conflicts throughout history. In Karen Armstrong’s book “Fields of Blood”, she argues that people use religion as an excuse for the cause of wars and ignore all other aspects. Karen Armstrong is correct. Throughout history, there were many wars and conflicts that weren’t caused by religion yet many leaders used the blame of religion to their advantage to conceal their true intentions. Wars using religion as a cover up for power is shown in the expansion of the Islamic Empire and in ISIS, while motivation from religion opposes Armstrong’s idea.…
Religion is one of the complex issues in the world. The aspects of religion diversity elaborate on how the society is diverse, which should be embraced.

World War II was a terrible time for the Jews. Close to six million Jews died over the course of the War in Europe. This meant America had the largest Jewish population in the world. After the events of World War II, Jews didn’t know where to turn to; the once great sanctions of Judaism were in need of guidence with no one to lead them except for the dominant reform judaism in the United States and eventually Israel with the more conservative view on Judaism. While rebuilding Judaism in post-World War II America was widely accepted by most Northern Americans, the South however did not accept Jews because of their determination to end Jim Crow laws. The South grew more anti-semitic as the Jewish community fought for equal rights for all. In…
The term “religiosity” was used by social scientists in order to indicate the extent, commitment, devotion and faithfulness of a person’s participation and practice of his or her religion (Gay and Lynxwiler, 2013). According to Ayenibiowo and Ayeni (2013), religiosity, in its narrowest sense, deals more with how religious an individual is and less with how religious an individual in terms of ritual, symbols and doctrines. On the other hand, religiosity, in its broadest sense, is a multifaceted construct pertaining to various religious activities, devotions and beliefs.…

The religion that I would like to talk about and study more in depth is The Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a Christian-based religious movement. There denomination was founded in the USA towards the end of the 19th century, under the leadership of Charles Taze Russell, a Pennsylvania businessman (religionfacts.com). Russell's Adventist background and study of the Bible led him to conclude, among other things, that the second coming of Christ would occur in 1914. That Hellfire did not exist, and God was not a Trinity. Today, there are 6.4 million practicing Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide. Witnesses are very active in evangelism and missions, both in the group's original home of the United States and throughout the world.…
