The notion of a Christian humanist is based on spiritual and moral achievement required to earn merit as can be seen in the heaven that is described by Milton in his epic poem. Despite the fact that his main character was Satan‚ a fallen divine being‚ he still managed to express his humanist beliefs by creating a devil that reflects fundamental human problems. Paradise Lost only served to stress Milton’s humanist beliefs due to his Christian principles and not in spite of

Satan is pure evil like the Tyger; he is to be feared. “On what wings dare he aspire” is referring to Satan’s desire to be God himself. “When the stars threw down their spears” is a reference of the war between God and Satan‚ good and evil. “Did he who made the Lamb make thee?” questions the ability of God to create

To make it last I refrained from putting a strain on it; when the lifeboat nudged the island‚ I did not move‚ only continued to dream.” But Martel spends too long with the island for it to just be a delusion. Pi describes the island very precisely. It just doesn’t have the hazy feel of a delusion. One possibility is that the island represents some type of faith. When Pi first

Satan asked God to tempt Job‚ God allowed him but within limits‚ not to take Job’s life. All his livestock and children were gone but still his faith in God was unshaken. When God gives us happiness we do not question Him then why should we question Him when he takes away what was His only. Satan was tempting Job but Job’s faith in God was unshaken; it was intact and firm in all

There are many myths and misconceptions about Wicca or Witchcraft and Satanism that are often held by people of other faith based belief systems. If you go by some of the Evangelical Christians definition of a Satanist you are left with a very large percentage of the population being Satanist as only about 10% of the world’s population is Christian. They often think any religion that is not theirs has to be therefore a Satanist; hence Wicca or The Craft is thereby Satanic in nature. Wicca is a Nature

The Perception of Witchcraft Then and Now Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown was set in the seventeenth century when witchcraft was considered a wholly evil practice that would send the practitioner directly to hell. This sets the stage for the story as Young Goodman Brown meets with the devil in a dark forest and attends what is described as a meeting of the damned where fires blaze and people stand around talking and singing. One might wonder what would happen if Young Goodman Brown found himself

Milton equips his character Satan with the ability to skillfully articulate falsehoods and heretical notions which will be omitted by non-analytical readers‚ emphasizing and demanding the need to dissect the carefully constructed poetry’s function in the book’s defense and support of God.
