Poor Richard Benjamin Franklin
2,079 wordsAlthough in his Autobiography Benjamin Franklin claims that at a young age he "became a thorough Deist" (1359), Franklin saw God as much more than a blind watchmaker. Among his frequent references to practicality, reason, and the value of experimental science, Franklin's metaphysical beliefs [ 2 ] easily get lost, especially as he distances himself theologically from colonial Christian doctrines. It becomes convenient but incorrect to let Franklin's "virtue" stand apart from his religious belief...

Meaning Of Life God Created
891 wordsMy 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.

His main aim in writing the Proslogion is not to directly prove the existence of God but to moreover, to sh...

Every one was to fear our great creator. Although, in essence, he was the superior being and his creations were the lower race. They were not to fear him, but to become closer to him and to see him as a superior being. Th...

Descartes was one of many philosophers who fully supported this argument in support of God's existence, contending that the external world is the ruling force behind the presence of all beings.
