All of Fate in the Hands of the Gods Although The Oedipus Cycle may not be a trilogy, all three plays have one constant element: the constant involvement of the gods in each and every situation. Antigone, Oedipus Rex, and Oedipus at Colonus all have a constant factor in each play which is the role of the gods in each play. The gods control every aspect of life throughout the plays. Although they may not be physically visible, the gods have total control of the fate of an every member of the…

1. Could the will of God be the only guide to which actions are morally right? 1100-1300 words The question of whether the will of god determines what actions are morally right utimately rests on the assumption that he exists. As there has been no scientific proof on either side of that particular argument, this problem quickly stagnates. It is often left with people agreeing to disagree, or trying to change the other person 's belief to match their own. If god does not exist, then there is…

Athanasius was the chief deacon assistant to Bishop Alexander of Alexandria. A man called Arius denied that Christ was fully God. He claimed that Christ was father’s creation and thus Christ wasn’t supposed to be considered as God, arguing on a fact that Christ could not offer salvation (Dennison, Jr.). Athanasius challenged this view by giving examples of his own. The incarnation of the Word is his most famous writing (Galli). He also describes how Christ can give salvation. According to him,…

you believed in God or not, what would you say? This topic is all about God and Atheism. Even though there are tons of people that don't have the faintest idea what they believe in, and you read my topic, you'll have a clue of what you believe in. Atheism and theism is two different things. Theism is a belief for God, and atheism is not a belief for God. I'm going to argue about what I think between these two sides. I've done six researches on my topic. The first is called The God Debate. In…

Ancient Rome the people adopted a Greek religion of worshiping gods and goddesses. The Romans found peace in having someone to blame for every single thing that happened in their lives. These gods and goddesses have different powers, and each one is responsible in their own way. The people of Rome strongly worshiped theses deities and sometimes the way that they worshiped them would get a bit out of control. From ruling all other gods and goddesses to being in charge of the underworld, these…

DhandIf God is Good, Why is there Evil in the World Why do bad things happen to good people? The idea of Evil has been a problematic question for religions, since its beginnings.

In order to explain things, we often blame God for the evil that exists in this world “If God is good, why do good people suffer?” "How can God exist if…

rela- tionship with the gods, who are facets of the divine. As I mentioned briefly in chap- ter 2, the two main aspects of deity that Wiccans work with are simply called the Goddess and the God. They are the female and male “halves” of the divine. In Wic- can thought, the union of the Goddess and God creates the universe. The rela- tionship between the Goddess and God is symbiotic. Like darkness and light, each half needs the other to express itself fully. The God represents, among…

relationship with God is more important than her material things. Bradstreet thinks there was a reason for her house to burn down and she thinks it was God’s way of telling her she didn’t need those things. “It was His own, it was not mine” (Bradstreet, 29). Bradstreet relationship with god was good. Bradstreet losing her things seemed like it didn’t affect her at all. She was more worried about how God would view her if she felt guilty for missing her things. Bradstreet relationship with God…
