    In the article “Religions: The Basics” by Malory Nye talks about female writers, inequality and the distinction between males and females. In the article it mentioned how the term Androcentricism assumes that the male’s perspective and experiences are the most vital and key point of reference. I agree with Mary Daly that the concept of belief in a male deity leads to profound sexual inequalities. The reason I agree with Mary Daly is due to the fact there is a lot of gender differences and that women are viewed as inferior, while men are more superior. It is surprising that in western culture, they can’t go a day without woman-male distinction.

  • Christian Crusades: The Islamic State In Iraq And Syria

    449 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1999, The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was formed. Since then, this group of radicals has grown both in size and strength, having gone from small scale acts of terror to large, highly organized acts of terror such as the 2015 Paris Attacks. It is widely believed that the ideals that ISIS enforces are newly invented, but on close examination of the Christian Crusades of the middle Ages, it can be observed that the Christian Crusaders and the Islamic State in Syria share most of the same ideals. In my opinion, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria can be compared to the Christian Crusades because they both wanted to convert others to their religion, they both committed mass genocide to convince non-believers to follow their ideals and they both performed mass ethnic cleansing to remove non-believers.

  • Power Of Religion In The Cat's Cradle

    1146 Words  | 5 Pages

    Religion, much like most of the conceptual world, is a construct-- brought into existence solely for the purpose of supplying an immediate meaning and understanding in the slightest to create some kind of consultation from the crisis of our existence. It freely shapes the morality of people and society by establishing a primal institution of what we are and aren 't supposed to do, and thus paves way for a rather compliant and impressionable public. This concept of religion is explored by Kurt Vonnegut in his novel the "Cat 's Cradle," where he creates a milieu where the only thing society has is faith and trust in a false pretense. In this post-apocalyptic novel, Vonnegut discusses the greatness that lies within the flaw of man-made religion. A writer named John travels distant places in an effort to produce an accurate account of what Americans were doing on the day of Hiroshima 's bombing to only witness first hand the damaging effects of the vicious cycle known as human idiocy.
