Meaning Of Life God Created
891 words
My beliefs on the meaning of life in religion and
interpretation of such things. In approaching the
question of 'the meaning of life' we have to
examine the nature of meaning itself. Meaning, is
by definition the point, or the intended goal.
Consider the point of humans and the universe as
seen from monotheistic religion. If life and the
universe is some sort of toy or form of
entertainment for some greater being, his point,
his own entertainment, would then be the meaning
of humans and the univ...

social and civic responsibility. In a sense it

Nation Of Islam Places Of Worship

This is the biggest misconception in Islam, no
doubt resulting from the constant stereotyping and
bashing the media gives Islam. When a gunman
attacks a mosque in the name of Judaism, or a
Catholic IRA guerrilla sets off a bomb in an urban
area, or Serbian Orthodox militiamen rape and kill
innocent Muslim civilians, these acts are not used
to stereotype and bash an entire faith. Never are
these acts attributed to the religious teachings
of the perpetrators. Yet how many times have we

Moving to Christianity Christianity in our modern
times is one of the largest religions in the
world, but it was not always the prevailing belief
system that it has become. Much earlier in the
mists of time, the Christian faith came out of
other beliefs and faiths that are now referenced
as pianistic. In this paper we will take a very
brief look at the move of faith from those
pianistic belief systems into the early Christian
church. Before writing further, it is important to

forms of duties and many of the stories and myths
that came with them. During the Vedic period,

Puritan as a name was, in fact, mud from the
start. Later, the word gained the further,
political connotation of being against the Stuart
monarchy and for some sort of republicanism; its
primary reference, however, was still to what was
seen as an odd, furious, and ugly form of
Protestant religion. In England, anti-Puritan
feeling was let loose at the time of the
Restoration and has flowed freely ever since. In
North America it built up slowly after the days of
Jonathan Edwards to reach its zeni...
