Krishni Alalasundram THEOLOGY 1000C When one thinks about the Puritan society, a society dominated by the church and where it was considered a crime to not attend church and where it was considered a crime to not attend church on the Sabbath, it is difficult to trace our society today back to the roots of Puritanism. In our society today, religion does not play as big of a role as it did in the mid 1600s. However, what many people also failed to see in Puritan society is that behind a wall of “God laws” is the foundation of their own constitution. Thus due to their strong values and commitment to self-government, the Puritans had a more important and lasting impact on both Massachusetts and the United States than any other ethnic and religious

Motes view on religion is that if you don't believe in christ those rules and regulations don't apply to him because he believes the opposite and he decides for himself that there are no rules in his “Church Without Christ”.

Short Assignment Three My picture is a photograph that I believe is meant to convince. The intended audience I believe is those of the Christian faith, especially the modern day “Cafeteria Catholics”.

Some believe religion is meant to be private to many because they do not want their children seeing an athlete make a religious gesture during America’s favourite pass time. Tebow’s behaviour is polarising because he appears to ignore or at least not acknowledge that the world of religious belief is complicated and diverse. Given the highly public nature of Tebow’s conspicuous piety, no wonder that thoughtful people are troubled by either his ignorance or his unconcern with how belief, both private and public, should come to grips with facts about religious diversity. (Watson p 232) Tebow seems to be a cultural phenomenon as much for his religious beliefs as for his sporting prowess. Born in the Philippines in 1987, the fifth child of Baptist missionaries, Tebow’s childhood was steeped in the morals and values of evangelical Christianity.

These prophets challenge our comforts and call us to live a life that is oriented towards God. Jeremiah was anointed with divine words that were difficult for people to hear. Jeremiah was also outcast for speaking the truth. We, too, are called, as Jeremiah was called to speak the truth and let God’s words flow from our lips. Yet, too often, we ignore the call in favor of the comfortable road.

John went on with his life but, the benefit after the event was “ a religious vocation is that it helps you concentrate”(Pg.7) Ames leaves his lifetime work to his son as a way to teach him the knowledge he has gained through years of writing and, for Ames “writing has always felt like praying, even when he wasn't writing prayers. ”(Pg.19) Since the death of his first wife and son in a way this was a way to not lose faith in god.

This time period was the time of faith, there was no free religion like there is supposedly today. So, Chaucer wasn’t content with this institution for various motives. Chaucer starts describing the Friar with his defects like he didn’t spent time with the poor, gave pins to the beauty, that his priority was money and so on. This demonstrated how he criticizes or was skeptic about his position and faith as a religious man at the Church.

I had to meet with my parents, the bishop and my church leaders and explain to them that I was not going to meet their expectations. I explained how I intended to blaze my own trail. They were disappointed. They told me I was going to go through life alone without God’s help. They believed I was making a grave mistake, and that I should reconsider.

I had my Bat Matzah at August 26, 2006 when I was 14 years old. After I got through my bat mitzvah I was actively practicing just a few years after that but my parents stop taking me to Friday night services because I did not want to go anymore and they stopped themselves. To this day I have beliefs and morals that I learned through synagogue. I belief in one god who created this world,

My grandmother made sure I attended Catholic mass every Sunday and completed eleven years of catechism. As I grew older, I knew that Jesus was the son of God and died for our sins on a cross. In catechism we memorized the prayers, but I never explored the bible for more than its literal context. As an adult I strayed away from my Catholic upbringing and began to look for something more. I fed my spiritual needs by entering into a more intimate personal relationship with Jesus.

This is why I plan on becoming a Child Therapist. There are many children that have nobody to talk to or fall back on for support.

At the mere age of twenty two months old I was shipped half way across the country and put into foster care. I was put in five foster homes

It was early 1995 when I first turned my life over to God, at this point in my life I had lost hope of moving forward in life. Got a call that my best friend had been killed due to a gun shot to the head I just felt like I had lost my entire world I decided I wanted to live right and that the party life was not right for me. On Sunday I attended church and walked up to the pew and dedicated my life to God.

The last, loose cable that kept me suspended was a girl my age who we now lived next door to; Her family were very devout Christians, and occasionally took me to church with them. They also encouraged my own family to send me to a faith-based summer camp along with my new friend. At Camp Imadene, I met Jesus personally for the first time. I don 't believe, at that time, I fully understood the weight of what I was learning.
