someone to simply show you the evidence for God’s existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of‚ "You just have to believe." Well‚ here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists. But first consider this. If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God‚ then any evidence can be rationalized or explained away. It is like if someone refuses to believe that people have walked on the moon‚ then no amount of information is going to change their thinking

Let’s begin with his notorious declaration that “God is dead” (first in The Gay Science‚ 1872). Secular thinking is a commonplace today‚ but in Nietzsche’s time this declaration was strikingly prophetic. The point of the claim is not so much to assert atheism: although Nietzsche was certainly an atheist‚ he was far from being a pioneer of European atheism. Rather‚ his observation is sociological‚ in a way: he means that Western culture no longer places God at the center of things. In another way‚ the

That feeling of guilt‚ which was a result of thinking‚ would never leave me. In more words‚ when I felt more religious I felt guilty because I crossed the lines of the religion and I wasted time questioning Islam instead of worshipping God with accordance to

TITLE: ’’BELIEVE IN GOD IS NOT A FALLACY" Does an intelligent‚ powerful‚ and willful being exist who is the independent eternal uncaused cause of all the rest of existence? It is my thoughtful and rational conviction that such a being‚ commonly called God‚ does exist in reality and that all the rest of reality is dependent on this being for existence. I therefore would say I believe in God. Now having the conviction that God exists is clearly a controversial position. Even as having the

Not everyone are the children of God. Just cause you were born does not mean you are Gods child. There has to be a supernatural birth. I’ve heard many times that God loves all His children‚ referring to the world. And its true in one part ‚ that He loves the world ( ’..for God so loved the world...’) the problem with this thinking is that you assume everyone is a child of God. but not everyone Is! the world wants no part of Him‚ don’t want to be apart of Him. Only the ones who humble themselves

Comparing Gods and Goddesses Years ago‚ women did not have much power as they do now. Women sat back and took orders from their husbands. Whatever is asking of them to do the women would have to carry out the order with no feedback and nobody jesters. Women were more humble to men and they listened and believed whatever men told them. All women knew how to do was to be a homemaker. Women did not have a problem with staying home cooking‚ cleaning‚ ironing‚ and taking care of the children. Women

The Relationship of God and Humans God thinks within geniuses‚ dreams within poets‚ and sleeps within the rest of us~ ACU poet. God in general has a unique way of manipulating things especially when it comes to human beings. Throughout this paper my plan is to persuade you that the relationship between God and human beings in Genesis was a relationship of‚ trust‚ jealousy‚ and loyalty. Loyalty is a virtue with God because of the Adam and Eve story. “And the lord god commanded the man‚ you may

book Business for the Glory of God is a great resource on business and each chapter starts with a phrase. The book has many opportunities for glorifying God but also many temptations to sin and what it can do to you and your business. The writer Grudem concisely lays out his reasons why business is good and very briefly raising some of the dangers of greed‚ envy and materialism. The weakest arguments by far are his argument that inequality of possessions is the way God intended things to be‚ that

In my 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
