It can be said that in God’s eyes‚ Christians are only dirty glasses which are stained inside and out with their own sin. These glasses were once clean‚ not plagued with stains. Now the glasses bear with them these ugly stains‚ the stains of sin and wrongdoing. The dirty glasses had to accept their punishment for becoming dirty‚ and the punishment was being destroyed by a hammer. The hammer is God’s instrument against sinners. As the hammer made its decent on the glass‚ a pan covered the glass and

1 Thoughts on Equality and society; Plato‚ Rousseau‚ and Nietzsche. Equality is the concept of everyone being equal in a certain state‚ with equality there would be little to no biased opinions‚ no fighting over wealth‚ and just a free world where everyone can live amongst one another and still obey the laws without worrying about social structure or who is better than someone else. Many different philosophers have spent years on trying to figure out where inequality first started and what

While there are some similarities between the plot of the film and the gospels‚ the persona of Jesus shown can be described as completely original. Instead of focusing on his divinity like in Luke or his miracles in Mark‚ this film explored the more human side of Jesus of Nazareth‚ who faced many of the same struggles every human does while on Earth. In modern Christianity‚ Jesus is often portrayed as someone who stands apart from and above humanity. “The Last Temptation of Christ” instead entrenches

type of government that St. Augustine describes in his work City of God‚ while at the same time contrasts the views of Aquinas in the ways a state should operate. The end goal of how each of these philosophers’ states purposes presents the greatest split between each of their philosophies. To understand how each of these philosophers’ states are similar and different from each other‚ a deeper analysis is necessary. The first and possibly most striking similarity between the states that both

say he’s a Christ-like figure. True‚ he was not perfect. A major flaw in him is that even though he believes in God‚ he doesn’t do what a Christian should do like going to church regularly and training his children in the way of the Lord. But in many aspects he was like Christ. By looking at how much effort he put into winning the Tom Robinson Case we can conclude that he is not racist at all‚ he is sympathetic and understanding‚ he is committed to justice‚ and he is wise. One similarity that really

In this essay I will summarize how the philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault have recorded how the meanings of certain concepts have changed through history‚ paying close attention to the texts of Nietzsche ’s "Good and Evil‚ Good and Bad" and Foucault ’s "The Insane". I will also suggest what I believe are the philosophical lessons that they think we can draw from recognizing these changes. In the chapter from his book Madness & Civilization‚"The Insane"‚ Michel Foucault charts

the life of Jesus Christ‚ is Giulio Cesare Procaccini’s The Scourging of Christ. In this piece‚ Procaccini’s masterful use of light and shadows in a technique called chiaroscuro dramatically portray the torturing of Christ‚ and it is this very application of chiaroscuro that immediately caught my eye. Through his masterful rendition of value‚ Procaccini successfully evoked within me a crushing sensation of agony. While I did not initially realize that the piece was one of Christ‚ research enabled
