essay I decided to take on the second and third topics. I’ll first address and examine Anselm’s ontological argument for the existence of God while restating and critically examining Aquinas’s first argument for the existence of God. After I finish with that topic I will then take on Paley and his argument and whether or not it thoroughly proves the existence of God conceived as a supremely perfect being and why or why not this is. During this topic I will bring in Dawkins’ and Hume’s criticisms of

The Cost of a Christ Centered Life Towards the end of David’s life and reign as King of Israel‚ he did something that God didn’t like. He counted his men. People warned him not to count his men. But he did it anyway. So what. He counted his men. What’s the big deal? At this point in his life David had not only outlasted King Saul (when he spent years chasing David around the middle east trying to kill him)‚ and out fought the giant Goliath‚ but David and Israel under David’s leadership

City Of God The film that I chose to watch and analyze is the Brazilian film City of God. The movie takes place in one of Rio de Janeiro’s 500 favelas‚ a favela known as the City of God. The name of the city is disturbingly ironic‚ as most of the activities that take place in the slum are decidedly ungodly. The movie‚ spanning three decades‚ chronicles the lives of some of the residents‚ most adolescent‚ from their pre-pubescent years to their upbringing into the criminal underworld. This movie

In The Odyssey‚ although the gods are often much less grand or magnificent they still play an important role in the story. They function more as spiritual guides and supporters for their human subjects‚ sometimes assuming mortal disguises in order to do so. There are three gods that are more human friendly in the story; Zeus‚ Hermes‚ and Athena‚ and one who is not so friendly; Poseidon. Zeus is sympathetic to the mortals‚ he lets the other gods help the humans. An example of Zeus helping Odysseus

Back Gandhi’s Views On God God 1. My own experience has led me to the knowledge that the fullest life is impossible without an immovable belief in a Living Law in obedience to which the whole universe moves.

Paper “Burying the White Gods: New Perspectives on the Conquest of Mexico‚” by Camilla Townsend‚ hits the points of why the Native Americans were submissive to the Spaniards. The thesis‚ in short‚ says that the Native Americans were not exactly conquered by the conquistadors. Instead‚ they thought the Cortes was a god‚ Quetzalcoatl.
