In the opinion of religious people, however, the private comfort that religion brings more than compensates for the evil done in its name” (Rushdie).

“Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice, it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” ― G.K. Chesterton Many occasions in the United States history have shown that religion has caused many controversial questions. These questions have brought the American Justice System to a running halt, leading society to begin to ponder about the importance of freedom of religion, true meanings of the free exercise and establishment clause, and if there should be limitations imposed on the free exercise of one’s religious beliefs.

Part of the religious symbols in today’s world is irrefutable, and religious symbols play the role of unifying members of the common faith tradition. As John Lennon indicated, “The religious symbols are at our mind’s service and not the other way around; our minds aren’t at the service of that symbols”. Some critics claim that overrated faith, being stubborn and radical for trust and religion “sways” itself from different aspects. This may be right since the main ground for the war in Near Eastern and Far Eastern countries is radical religious faiths. However, when it comes to psychological and human rights sides of the religion, we cannot support the idea of prohibition of the religious symbols.

These two both teach the concrete idea to live simply by avoiding the temptation to overly value earthly things. The teachings in both the Toa Te Ching and the Sermon on the Mount exist as result of our sinful nature, and it is suggested in both texts that this nature is the cause for strife among human beings. But the reason for why we should follow these moral teachings put in place differs between the two. The Toa Te Ching tells us to adopt these instructions because it is necessary in order to follow the Tao, but is unclear about an afterlife.

By shedding light on areas that need addressing, Russell rightly stirred a great deal of controversy and disagreement. Frequently, our man-made traditions, behaviors, and actions within a religion are wrongly designated as holy, but as we often say in class, “absolute power corrupts absolutely”; this is very evident in the watering down of Christian tradition through the power-grabbing tendencies of human nature. However, as in any aspect of life, if we are not willing to look into the parts of ourselves that need improvement, we will never grow. Though I may disagree with his broad categorization of Christians, I agree that his points are valid and definitely give the Christian faith a great deal to consider and work to improve

Maybe… evil is where we meet God.” The book of Job is an encouraging testament to the suffering soul, but anyone who would seek out Job’s pain for himself is beyond ascetic. He is morbid, wretched, and dangerously deluded. Suffering accomplished by internal motivation bears no goodness or

In their vision, other religions are just nonsense and actually invaders of the true God. The people who have a certain religion can go really far in making other people convert to their religion. You can see this happening with the terrorist organizations these days. Some people believe their religion is the most important thing in their life and the most insane thing is, that they are willing to give their life for their religion.

The enforced observance of God in the Pledge of Allegiance is an enforcement of religion and to reenact an appeal of what is to be considered truthful. There is a tendency through some Americans stating how they have the right to freedom of religion, which is true, but they tend to forget that there are other people in this world than justness of a world of one god. The first amendment is “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech. . .” Which explicitly states that Congress is not allowed to do something mandatory, that is, towards the statement of any religion or none of. Yet, it was the Congress who input the words “under god” into the Pledge, but they still do not stop to consider the message to the children, which is to force the child to at least acknowledge that there is a god.

It isn’t enough to pray to the Dark Lord for something... you must also put forth some effort on your end; It is a popular belief that Satanists do not believe in the Christian God. Atheistic Satanists (LaVeyan Satanists) do not believe in God, they do not even believe in Satan as a real entity. To believe in Satan, you must believe in God, and visa versa. As much as the Dark Lord despises the Christian God, Jehovah, he will tell you that he is the true Creator.

In the beginning of the book More Than a Carpenter By Josh Mcdowell and Sean Mcdowell, it quotes “Christianity is not a religion. Religion is humans trying to work their way to God through works.
