Argumentative Essay: A Total War

185 Words1 Page

Total war is essentially the mobilizing of every resource possible, to achieve domination over an enemy. This includes everything from human to material resources. I believe WWII was definitely a total war. This is due to the fact that each side created and produced deadly weapons to try and guarantee victory and anything that tried to interfere with that victory was subject to be terminated. For example, tanks became an innovation for strategically destroying enemy combatants, but sadly with the cost of innocent lives as well. Technology such as new jet engines, atomic bombs, radar detection, were on the rise, and were found to be crucial in either sides attempt at winning the war. The U.S. was justified with its attack on Hiroshima, Japan.

    “The Problem of Evil” is simply the question, why does God allow evil to happen? God is omnipotent, omniscient, all-loving, and rational, therefore why does evil exist? There is either no God or he is not what we think he is, since evil could be prevented by him with no risk. Atheists and anti-theodicist see a problem with the idea that God could prevent evil. They believe that because God is so powerful and perfect, that he would not allow such immoral actions to be done.

  • Argumentative Essay On War On Religion

    1569 Words  | 7 Pages

    War on Religion There is a belief among people that declares religion as the main cause of wars worldwide, and it has been the main cause of violence throughout the history of humanity. While we cannot deny that, some battles such as the crusades and the Lebanese civil war were based on religious faith, it is totally illogical to consider religion as the main cause of wars. Moreover, although there is also no disagreement that some extremist in Islam were behind 9/11, it is considered a misjudgment to say that all individuals in this religion convey the concept of violence and cruelty. The fact is non-religious incentives take the responsibility for almost all of humans’ wars. Lives lost during religious wars are nothing compared to those lost during non-religious wars.so why people believe that religion is the cause of wars, why they are wrong and do the extremist represent religions?
