armor was wearing him down. The wind wasn’t helping much ether. The sound of his footsteps on the hard snow made crunching sounds each time his heavy plated foot hit the ground. He was covered from head to toe in an ebony encasement. Not a single piece of flesh exposed except an opening in the face. Two ice cold eyes stared out of it. There was a long trail of a sanguine liquid ran into the snow‚ hard as a rock before it touched the ground. He kept trudging along… the wind did not cease. It was about

After several weeks of analyzing moral theory‚ the divine command theory prevails. Jehovah created us (page 7‚ Column 1) intrinsically valuable‚ in that we are each a temple‚ in and of ourselves. (Page 71 Column 1) Proven scientific knowledge includes the fact that in the 1769 King James Version (Isaiah 40:22)‚ undisputedly references the circle of the earth. This is tantamount to believing in a higher being‚ which is in perfect accordance with the divine command theory‚ in that‚ the date of the aforementioned

The Dichotomy of Divine and Human Law The Trial and Death of Socrates Many have puzzled over Socrates’ contradictory statements between Plato’s Apology and its sequel‚ the Crito. The stance on justice that Socrates articulates in the Apology seems to be immediately contradicted by the moral opinions he expresses in the Crito. While in a broad sense Socrates appears to offer opposing opinions in each work‚ when one looks more closely at the meaning behind Socrates’ words‚ he will find that his

Believers of “Divine Command Theory” are known to submit themselves to Divine Command and even thinking otherwise is to go against the Divine Command. The argument that homosexual behaviour is against God or God’s Law‚ i.e. the way of nature itself‚ is undermined if there is even one instance of homosexuality in nature. Sadly‚ for many believers of “Divine Command Theory” and “Natural law” followers‚ there are many instances. Black swans‚ Japanese macque‚ even Bonobos‚ a primate species closely related

Full Circle from Sin to Salvation Great works of literature have been written throughout history. However‚ The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost have the inept ability to stir the soul and cause a person to examine and re-examine their life. The brilliant descriptions‚ use of imagery‚ metaphor and simile give a person a vivid picture of the creation of man and the possibilities for life in the hereafter. This is done‚ as a person is able to see‚ full circle‚ from the beginning of time to the

their song “The Sound of Silence.” This idea rings true in “The Sound of Silence” and “Candle in the Wind” as both songs portray an idea of loneliness and isolation. “The Sound of Silence” was written by Paul Simon‚ performed by Simon and Garfunkel‚ and covered by Disturbed. Released in 1966‚ the song exposes man’s inability to connect with other humans. Similarly‚ Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind‚” written in 1973‚ is a tribute to Marilyn Monroe’s overdose in 1962 and her lonely life as a star. Furthermore

Gilgamesh’s being was 1/3 human and 2/3 divine. How can a person be 1/3 of anything is beyond my understanding. In the olden times‚ people believed in myths‚ legends‚ and there were gods and spiritual beings among us. They believed that Gilgamesh was created by the gods Shamash (sun god whom endowed Gilgamesh with beauty) and Adad (storm god whom endowed Gilgamesh with courage) and was brought into the world of man by Ninsun (Gilgamesh’s human mother)‚ hence being 2/3 divine and 1/3 human.
