Dr. Victor Frankenstein is a fascinating character, perhaps to most others he could come across as an uninteresting, one note or just an arrogant jerk, however when one looks further one can see that he is one of the first examples of a character with a god complex. A god complex is defined as; an unshakable belief characterized by constantly inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege and infallibility. It is made very clear in “Frankenstein” that Victor has an inflated view of himself which leads to his failure and ultimate death. He thinks much to highly of his own abilities which is very much displayed in his second creature attempt, in which he believes undeniably that his first attempt could not have been a mere fluke, he believes
The men have some major snags accepting his story and request that he let them know reality. Pi recounts a second story that straightforwardly reflects his to begin with, however rather than animals; he is stranded on the raft with his mom, a cook, and a mariner. The similitudes between the two stories make it clear that his mom represents Orange Juice, Pi represents Richard Parker, the mariner represents the zebra and the cook represents to the hyena. While both book and film have the same consummation, their tones are much distinctive and can lead the gathering of people to diverse conclusions. In the novel, Pi seems irritated with the two men and practically appears to recount to them the story so hopefully they will allow him to sit unbothered.

First, in a theological perspective, let us look at the contextualization of religion in general.

Pastafarianism or Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. Though adherents describe Pastafarianism as a genuine religion, most believe it as a fake or pseudo religion. This religion was first described in a satirical letter written in 2005 by Bobby Henderson a 24 year old Oregon State University physics graduate, this letter was used to protest the Kansas State Board of Education to permit teaching intelligent design as alternate to public school science classes.

The Reality of Religion Religion is a thing that brings people together, but in some cases, it’s the very force that tears people apart. When people are first introduced to it, it can either be a blessing or burden. In the narrative Blackboy, by Richard Wright, Richard describes his life growing up in the South during Jim Crow laws. He faces a great deal of oppression during his lifetime, but some of the most difficult conflicts he faces are with religion and his own family. Since a young age, Richard’s family was very religious, and they wanted Richard to follow in this path as well.
Wanted: Released in 2008, Wanted came out in the theatres with few controversies, one of which centred on it not being anything like the comic books it is based on. According to Beyond Hollywood, “the comics were set in a parallel reality where the super villains have actually killed or defeated their superhero counterparts, and those that aren’t dead have had their memories wiped, and are, occasionally, pluck out of the streets by the bad guys to torture for fun and games for old times sake. Instead of the world being run by a cabal of super villains who have, essentially, now gone “respectable”, the movie posits the Fraternity of assassins instead.” (BeyondHollywood.com, 2014). Wanted has arguably to some extend ripped off the Matrix chase

The idea that secularism originates from Christianity depends extensively on how secularism is defined. Some define it as a place, conversation or attitude completely lacking in religious elements, or according to William Connolly in part seven of The Myth of Secularism, a separation and restriction of private faith and beliefs from public discussion. Others see it as all faiths and religions having equal status, and everyone is allowed to search out truth in their own way, which is more closely defined as pluralism and heavily embedded in relativism. In terms of no religious implication, Christianity, although not necessarily instituted as a religion, but as a way of life, still demands the constant living out of beliefs about of truth and
During this era, the Brahmans developed some changes in order to transform their religion into something better. Just like Buddhism and Jainism, they wanted to gather as many followers as they can to support their religion. According to the text, the Brahmans became vegetarians and stopped doing animal sacrifice traditions when their religion had begun in a different form. In addition, the Brahmans were influenced by Buddhism and Jainism practices, so they adopt those principles to use as their own. The three deities of Vedic religion: Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva also gathered together to form a trinity of the atma.
