Greater Can Be Conceived Idea Of God
1,457 wordsThroughout history there has been a concept of a greater being (s) that guided our lives. In the beginning the main idea was that of plurality and polytheism.

Since I was real young I was brought up believing in that God is great, and he is what we Roman Catholics live our lives by. In the novel Demian, the main character, has no religion a...
