There is no doubt that pleasure is good. Whether
the pleasure is emotional or physical; whether we
get this pleasure through taste, touch, sight,
scent, or hearing; it makes no difference.
Pleasure is always enjoyable. In fact the words
pleasure and good are often times interchangeable.
After seeing a movie I liked, I may tell someone
that the film was pleasurable or that it was good.
Both descriptions have a positive connotation. But
while pleasure is undoubtedly good, it is not the
highest goo...

Adam And Eve Knowledge Of Good And Evil
1,418 words
Can it be said that God deprived Adam and Eve from
their freedom by prohibiting them to eat form the
fruit of the tree of knowledge? After reading
Genesis, one of the lessons we obtain is that of
the two stories of creation. Even though the
stories seem to be extremely alike, a
contradiction is seen between both. Many
colloquial believes and concerns are derived from

... only Washington and Adams held days of public
prayer and thanksgiving. When Jefferson became
President he did away with those practices saying
that they were religious practices and, as such,

government should deal with actions, not opinions,
and that no one should be held accountable for his
faith. In his view religion was between the
individual and his God. Jefferson also believed
