...It's Not God’s Fault; Blame the Hypocrites! God has been the subject of criticism among the agnostics, atheists, the not-so believing, and the innocent. Whenever natural calamities strike humanity, the enemies of God have a ready target in the person of somebody whom they do not believe to exist — rendering themselves as idiots (Jude 1:10) “But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.” If only they are using their power to think, their allegation that, “If there is a God, why is He permitting these things to happen?”, they should have realized the truth that there are things that happen on earth beyond the control of all humanity; proving that somebody more powerful than man is doing such things. Their criticism, if investigated, will compel them to believe in the existence of God. The notion that, “If there is a God these should not happen” gives honor to God whose existence they deny. They are unwittingly proving that God is a God of goodness — who must not permit these things to happen. Let us investigate. Earthquakes (like the very recent one in Haiti), volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves are acts of God. (Job 9:5-6) “Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.” (Amos 9:6) “It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath......

...Only the Lonely Frankenstein is Mary Shelley's most notable piece of work, written when she was only eighteen years old. The novel explores the theme of loneliness and rejection. The monster created by Victor Frankenstein is rejected by human society because of his appearance. Mary Shelley explores the feelings of how the creature is utterly ignored and abused by the society. I believe the novel became a reflection of the inner state of Mary Shelly. It reflects sufferings and loses that occurred in the own authors life. As notes Anthony Badalamenti in his article Why did Mary Shelley Write Frankenstein: “She was also the product of her own past, suffering three successive losses in her early life that reveal why themes of being alone and abandoned run through the novel”(Badalamenti, 431). All these sad events and constant feeling of loneliness helped Mary to create a very deep and powerful character. Victor does not think about possible results of his experiments. He does not think what will happen when he finally succeeds and created a living creature. He is severely punished by his attitude when the creature created by him turns into a monster. Shelley illustrates that the guilt for murders can not be put only on Frankenstein's creation. Society and social norms finally result in the feeling of loneliness and estrangement. “The monster complains that his maker and mankind are moving his nature from goodness and benevolence to wrath and violence. He attempts the company of...

...peacefully and eat from the gardens that God provided but not the Forbidden tree. Eve was persuaded into to eating the apple and persuaded Adam as well. This is how mankind became aware of right from wrong, they became vulnerable to temptation by worldly things, and they started to questions Gods very existence. And Man was cursed to the ground and work for their fruits; women were cursed pain during child birth and to always be submissive to their husbands. It’s easy to see now how after years and years after Adam and Eve there is so much corruption. My world view is that mankind has fallen for worldly things not remerging where they came from. Woman now marries Woman. Men marry men. God’s purpose for Adam and Eve was to populate the world with children and build families that would Praise God and be pure. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. Adam and Eve then gave birth to Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel were tested on their love for God and Cain was too greedy he offers God a portion of his crops one day as...

...that he created He placed man in the Garden of Eden and told him he Could eat from every plant except from the Tree of Good and Evil. God felt that man needed a Companion so God put Adam to sleep and took out one of his Ribs and formed a woman and called her Eve. God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden so they could take care of it, and bare children. One day Eve came across the serpent and he tricked Eve into eating from the tree of good and evil.

After God put them out of the garden of Eden Adam and Eve Had two sons, first Cain and then Able. Here we have the signs of jealousy and the first Murder. Cain was jealous of his Brother......

...I love adventure movies, from Indiana Jones, to Star Wars, to The Lord of the Rings, I love them all, and The Mummy was no exception. The Mummy is an amazing movie. It has action, comedy, and decent special effects too. Overall, I found the movie very entertaining and enjoyable and I loved almost every minute of it. Although the movie was very entertaining, l did find some historical inaccuracies in it. I believe the movie could have been made much better if some of these inaccuracies were fixed. This review will deal with historical inaccuracies that focus on the characters of the movie, the values and beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians, the geographical locations and architectures shown in the movie. The Mummy tells the story about a priest named Imhotep, who had an affair with the Pharaoh’s mistress and killed the Pharaoh, and as punishment for his deeds he was mummified alive and cursed for all eternity in Hamunaptra, the city of the dead. Thousands of years pass, and in the 1920’s a soldier of the French Foreign Legion named Rick O’Connell meets a librarian and aspiring Egyptologist named Evelyn, and joins her and her brother on a quest to find Hamunaptra, a lost Ancient Egyptian city which is said to have numerous amounts of hidden treasure. Instead of finding treasure though, they accidently reawaken the mummy of Imhotep, who if brought back to life, will “arise a walking disease”, unleash the ten plagues of Egypt, become invincible, and cause mass destruction. First...

The Tortures of Hell 8. A Lost Soul Speaks 9. Further Conversations 10. An Atheist in Hell Chapter 1: Planning Suicide When evil persons have gone in a life of sin, and find that they have reason to fear the just judgment of God, they begin at first to wish there were no God to punish them. Then little by little they persuade themselves that there is no God, and look for arguments to back their opinion. I had the unhappiness to know someone like this, who would always be telling me there was neither God nor devil, and no heaven or hell. It was with fear and trembling that I first heard him speak about these topics, but he spoke of them so often that I felt I must consider what he said. From this time I found my mind so confused that I could not remember the truths about God which had appeared so clear to me before. I could not think there was no God but with the greatest horror, yet I questioned the truth of His being. I would not have parted with my hope of heaven for all the riches of the world, yet now I was not sure whether there was any such place. In my confusion I went to my false friend to see what comfort he could give me. He only laughed at my fears and pretended to pity my weakness. His talks only made me more confused, until life became a burden to me. It is impossible to tell you......

...In the novel, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, revenge is more prevalent than love. Because of this, vengeance is the only human bond the monster is allowed to form. Although he sees good in other human relationships, he never forms one for himself. These loving human relationships can be seen between, Victor, as a child, and his own family, Elizabeth and Victor (although frequently unrequited), and the De Lacey family. Even with such amiable relationships in the novel, Victor, the monster’s creator, eventually grows further and further away from these loving relationships, leaving the monster, whom Victor has the most frequent interactions with, to learn by his example. Mary Shelley, by laying the story out this way, says human relationships must be founded on nothing less than self-sacrificing love or they lead eventually to ruin, hatred, and self destruction....

I think she wanted to, planned to. She did love me at first. My young heart bonded to her because she loved me. I tried so hard not to change. I tried so hard it hurt. But I couldn't hold it back for long. Horror at my hideous form killed all her love for me. But her disgust didn’t kill my love for her. I don't remember my life before I came to Mistress. I know I did not come to be when I first looked in her face, but I can remember nothing else of my life. She named me Lyneth on that day. A sore blow struck me later when she saw my ungodly form and hardened her heart against me. I suppose I was fortunate she didn’t kill me or turn me out. But she kept me. Though her rejection tortured me, I preferred it to isolation. She never called me by the name she gave me after that. She only called me “Girl”. My world was within the inn and the stable, and the wood behind them. Even though I dreamed of escape......

...influential in many ways. Oedipus was born to the king and queen of Thebes, Laius and Jocasta. His parents were contacted by an oracle who told them that their son would kill Laius and marry his mother. Laius tied Oedipus’s feet together and gave it to a servant of the kind, the Sheppard, to kill. The Sheppard took pity on the child and gave him to another Sheppard to bring up on his own. This man gave the child to King Polybus and queen Merope of Corinth. Oedipus knows none of this and he thinks these two are his true parents. When a drunken man told him that they are not his parents, he went to Delphi to seek the truth. Apollo refused to reveal the answer to what he was seeking. However, he did tell him that it was his fate to make love with his own mother and shed his own father’s blood, he fled from Corinth.

...people would not agree that Hamlet could be seen as a hero. Throughout the play he does prove to be a hero. The beginning of such bravery is seen when his father appears to him as a ghost. In a conversation between the ghost and Hamlet, Hamlet says, Rest, rest, perturbed spirit!—So, gentlemen, / With all my love I do commend me to you; / And what so poor a man as Hamlet is / May do t’express his love and friending to you, / God willing, shall not lack. Let us go in together, / And still your fingers on your lips, I pray / The time is out of joint. Oh, cursed spite / That ever I was born to set it right! / Nay, come, let’s go together.” (1.5.191-199). The ghost has confessed to Hamlet that he was murdered in this scene. This information is the reason why Hamlet must seek out revenge against the treacherous events that has been seen in Denmark. This is the beginning of where his heroism comes into play. In this exact scene he started to take on the responsibility that is set out for him. He accepts the authority that the ghost of his father has set upon him. In these lines “And still your fingers on your lips, I pray / The time is out of joint. Oh, cursed spite / That ever I was born to set it right” (1.5.196-198). He listens to the spirit with will and loyalty. Hamlet was born to set Denmark back into the kingdom it was supposed to be. Accepting what his father’s ghost said shows loyalty to what he must do. This portrays Hamlet’s leadership as a hero from......
