L. Ron's Creed In Scientology

157 Words1 Page

Scientology has a creed that L. Ron had created which they implemented into their church. According to the creed the church believes, “That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights, that all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance, that all men have inalienable rights to their own lives, that all men have inalienable rights to their sanity, that all men have inalienable rights to their own defense, that all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments to name a few (What Is Scientology?, 2015). Another part of their creed, which I found interesting because was that the church believes, “that the laws

This visual of Paradise for most consists of what you believe in, whether it be a tall man with flowing long hair and long beard that comes to greet you in the afterlife and filled with your late relatives all waiting at the heavenly gates for you. Of course the flipside would be you believe in nothing after death, and when you take your last breath life as you know it ends and is surrounded by nothingness.

  • Ayn Rand's Divine Command Theory

    1932 Words  | 8 Pages

    The first theory for the ethical analysis is divine command theory. This theory suggests that morality is dependent upon God, and that moral obligation consists in obedience to God’s commands. Divine command theory includes the claim that morality is ultimately based on the commands or character of God (Austin). By applying this theory to Fischer Homes’ current situation, it can be possible to claim that Fischer Homes was instructed by God to hire these subcontractors with undocumented employees, because they were poor and needed a job to support their family. If this was indeed the thought process of the Fischer Homes’ employees that turned their heads to the hiring of undocumented workers, then it is not far-fetched to apply the divine command theory to the current situation.

  • The Importance Of The First Amendment To The US Constitution

    303 Words  | 2 Pages

    Even though the Westboro Baptist Church offends many people with their picketing and other demonstrations, I believe that the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution should continue to protect their right of performing these acts for two reasons. One, the first amendment already protects, in a sense, some of the actions the church performs, for example, the picketing of high school graduations and claiming perverts ran the schools. As unbelievable as it may sound, the first amendment allows them to say particular things like this because of what is known as the Sullivan Rule, which is a court guideline protecting inaccurate and harmful declarations against public officials as long as the claims were not known to be false at the time they

  • 'Conformity In Ayn Rand's Anthem'

    916 Words  | 4 Pages

    Even though there are billions of people that walk this Earth, everybody is their own individual with their own ideas and personalities. Because of this, it is hard to imagine a world where personality and individuality do not exist. But Ayn Rand’s Anthem does just that; she paints a society in which no one is an individual. Anthem’s society is that of conformity, which means one must be complacent with the rules and laws of his/her society. Sure one could see this as a good thing, but throughout Anthem, Ayn Rand shows that conformity is not as good as it sounds, but rather the worst way to live.

    the church or center of which they approach to worship or expand their beliefs must have a hierarchy of power or an equal system where the leader's earthly power is limited. These said followers must also have certain undoubted rights in their respective groups, such as the power to leave or join the group as they choose, or offer as little or as many resources as the feel. The guidelines for a cult, however, are much different, to be considered a cult there must a select and soulful leader who reigns over all and holds all power. In order to be a cult, the group must develop a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society. Members of this said group are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.

  • We The People Chapter 4 Summary

    501 Words  | 3 Pages

    Chapter 4 of the book We the People talks about Civil Liberties, this chapter mainly talks about the Rights that were placed in the Constitution (not in the Bill of Rights), it also talks about the Bill of Rights and it describes the rights protected by the Bill of Rights. It also talks about specific rights that work close together with the Bill of Rights and Amendments rights. One of the first Amendments that is described in great detail is Freedom of Speech and Religion. The first Amendment protects US citizens right to talk about almost any topic in the United States. I said almost any topic because there are some forms of speech that aren’t protected by the First Amendment (these forms of speech can be limited or prohibited), some of the forms of speech that aren’t protected by the First Amendment are Fighting Words and Hate Speech, Student Speech, Libel and Slander speech.

  • Why Do Democratic Governments Need To Be Founded On Principles

    This ensures that if the majority of a population is incapable of self-governance or high intellect, or is a tyrant like the King of Britain, they will not be able to establish rule of law. For that reason, a set of beliefs, or principles are established to create a fine line regarding which civil liberties cannot be violated. For example, the United States Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791, later integrating into the United States Constitution. The first article states our basic liberties, such as the freedom of and from religion, elaborating that the states or government cannot “force you to accept one set of religious beliefs nor may it interfere with the way you worship”. This protects against governments that use the “divine right” as an incentive to follow a King or established divine
