What Is The Difference Between Warren And Dennett View Of Religion

Decent Essays
I believe that religious believers find comfort in their religion and belief. However, I also believe that even an atheist may find comfort, perhaps not in the same God or divinity as a religious person believes, but in actual facts, apart from an atheistic belief.
The differences between Warren and Dennett are the way they view religion. Warren believes that every human being should base his whole life on in serving other and what the Bible said, while Dennett thinks that every human being should learn about all types of religion and that one can live a wonderful life while learning to see the Religion with real facts, not just base in what determinate religion said or book

McCloskey discusses several arguments pertaining to the whether or no there is a God and what one believes to be evil. McCloskey also refers to the arguments as “proof” as well as implied several times that they can’t define or establish the existence of God. In the light of Foreman’s comments in regards to the question of God’s existence, I felt that he addressed the question by discussing the commonly asked question “Is there a God or if a God exist”. He also discussed what exactly is evil.…

    Sometimes in this world, when all seems black and nothing is looking up, hope is the only thing one can have in order to keep on going. In William Bradford’s Northern Experiences we see the Pilgrims, making their sacred journey across the Atlantic Ocean on the Mayflower, consistently use religion and their belief in God as a means of hope. Many people at almost all points in history have looked to their “god” when everything else seemed lost. For religion is something that pervades outside your current circumstances, and therefore is a great resource to pull from when it looks as though there is nothing left you can do to help a situation. Crossing treacherous waters on a perilous voyage filled with uncertainty, there was only so much that the future settlers of Plymouth Plantation had control over.…

    Calvinism vs. Anabaptists Many Christian approaches in the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century considered the views of social thought. Protestantism, which opposed Roman Catholicism, came to the forefront and marked a significant conversion in the Christian world. The Protestant religion, enforced by such theologians as Zwingli, Luther and Calvin, was growing in rapidity, and the power, which guided the Roman Catholic Church, was slowly weakening in number. It was evident that Protestantism was rapidly gaining strength while it detached from former Catholicism practices such as mass, tithing and other devotional works. Because of this action, two very different branches emerged to aid and support the Christian religion and theological…

    While my beliefs contradict with hers in some places, I identify primarily with Laura Stinger from the article “Choosing My Religion”. Being raised as a Greek Orthodox, I was taught a pretty straightforward, but lenient version of Christianity. Growing up in such an easygoing religious environment allowed me to be constantly thinking about questions similar to the ones Laura wonders about, such as ones concerning my purpose in life or the reason humans are on Earth. I identify with her primarily because of her general philosophy concerning religions. When describing what religion means to her, Laura said, “To me, religion is my own personal set of beliefs”.…

Individuals who search for their true meaning in life have a greater determination for success and ambition to reach their goals. In addition, religion is another factor that helps people find meaning in life.…
