    Ultimately it seems that Christianity‚ at its core‚ seems to advocate for such ideals. Through the fostering of a truly Christian community‚ the cultivation of brotherhood for all of mankind seems to be something which is possible. The ethic of Christianity‚ while not perfect‚ can serve to better the individual and the world by the self-sacrificing of ones own selfish desires. Nietzsche would contend that it is the sacrificing of self which exactly leads to the entrapment of the mind. I however do

Catholic High’s cafeteria is far from the grotesque lunch rooms that appear in movies. It is not filled with stern lunch ladies in hairnets who slap down mystery meat onto student’s plates. It is filled with an expert staff who excel at their job and do it with a smile on their face.   Thanks to the staff of

    Christianity emphasises justice‚ while others emphasise compassion; this statement is fundamental in the belief of Christians. Justice means to have moral rightness that is based on ethics‚ civil laws‚ natural laws and religion. One of the Ten Commandments states‚ "Love thy neighbor as thy self". This Statement was repeated seven times in the Bible‚ once in the Old Testament and six times in the New Testament.  It is quite clear to me that our capacity to have this kind of love must be foremost in

    country we don’t have the concept of tradition and antiquity that exists in the Eastern cultures. We think 300 years is a long time when in Europe traditions can be traced back a couple thousand years and in India they can trace Hinduism and their way of life back 4‚000 years.

The reasoning for this is the attempted bridging of a region and audience which was not long separated from its Pagan heritage‚ but had recently adopted Christianity.
