Perpetua's Love Of Religion
After reading Perpetua's diary, I also responded with awe as I imagined what she went through. Her love of God and Christianity was evident when she chose to die than renounced her faith. Her and the others martyrs were very brave to face the beasts and never once got intimidated. Their feelings toward their faith was solid that they chose to die on the hands of the beasts than save themselves.

    Ellianet Mata's Religious Beliefs

    Ellianet Mata was raised as a Catholic to have faith in God, saints, and that one could be blessed. She did not believe in God, found the stories to be confusing, and found no evidence to confirm the stories to be true. She could not convince herself to trust the book of scriptures or God. She didn’t stress over natural occurrences; death, for example, and thinks that it is confusing to pray to prolong your own life. She trusts life will play out based on one’s personal decisions and some fortune, karma from a past life. She does not dismiss her family for their religious beliefs.…

    Comparing Religion In Rappaccini's Daughter And The Birthmark

    Nathaniel Hawthorns short stories, such as, Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment, Rappaccini’s Daughter and The Birthmark all have an underlying meaning and demonstrate a similar recurring theme. Hawthorne uses his stories to clarify his beliefs on the competition between nature, religion, and science in everyday life. In all three of his short stories he refuses the concept of science coming before religion or nature. Hawthorne clearly thought if nature or religion was tampered with using science it could only end badly, but more specifically with death. In each of his stories there is a scientific experiment that defies both nature and religion ending harmfully. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s beliefs conclude that God and nature to ultimately be more powerful then science.…

    Life Of Pi Religion Analysis

    Ever thought about how many religions you can believe in? Is it right or wrong to believe in more than one religion? Martel describes how Pi loves God through Christianity, Hinduism, and Muslim. One day Pi and his family were at a park and there was a priest, pandit, and imam came up to them and said they wanted Pi to make up his mind regarding which religion he believes in. The wise men argued about which one Pi should believe in and he could not decide because he loves and is faithful in all. He replied, “Bapu Gandhi said, ‘All religions are true’ I just want to love God” ( 69, Life of Pi). Therefore, Pi states that he just wants to love God no matter how many different religions he practices. Even though his family made fun of him and doubted him about his belief and the wise men were mad that Pi did not make a decision on what religion to believe in that did not stop Pi from practicing them. Martel makes this believable throughout the book by using imagery to show how passionate Pi is about religion. Also, Martel's imagery captured the different stories Pi told about why he was Hindu. One example is when Pi is describing all of the different parts of Hinduism and why he is a Hindo. One part that Pi describes is the religious food that Hindus prepare and goes into depth about how they smell and look. Another part that…

    Analyzing Prothero´s The World's Religions

    Prothero is writing his book in response to a line of thinking that states the religions of the world are essentially the same. Contrasting with this thinking, Prothero argues that the world religions may have occasional similarities, but the end point and the steps towards this end point are specific to each religious view. Prothero is stating religions are different and, while some may have similarities, they should be understood by looking at their differences.…

    Comparing St. Ignatius's Letter To The West

    St. Ignatius of Antioch, during the persecutions of Christians, was arrested near the coast of the Mediterranean. Under the guard of the Romans, he was being taken to the capital in Rome, where he would later become a martyr. On his way to Rome, he urged other Christians to stay out of the way and not to intervene with the Roman guards. St. Ignatius of Antioch did not want to be saved by his fellow Christians, but by God. He was looking forward to his death so that he can final reach Christ. He wanted “to die in union with Christ’s passion,” he wanted to suffer just as Christ suffered on the cross.…

    Religion: The Virgin Of Gudalupe

    One religious figure who shows a great deal of modesty is the Virgin of Gudalupe. To most people The Virgin is seen as an important role model for women, especially mothers, to look up to. Although she is normally seen as a positive figure there are some problems that arise because of the way she is portrayed. Worshipping a virgin woman as opposed to a more say promiscuous woman can imply that the only way to be close to god or ‘holy’ is to stay pure and untainted by sex. “Many women need to go through a spiritual clitoridectomy, in a sense of mutilating their lust to identify with the Virgin, get her approval of their behavior and never question the social and political order built around such religious ideology” (Althaus-Reid 49). These feelings…

    Mircea Eliade on Religion

    Several people find Mircea Eliade’s view on religion similar to Emile Durkheim’s, but in truth, it is similar to Tylor and Frazer’s. One of Eliade’s major works was The Sacred and the Profane. In his writings he explains that his understanding of religion are two concepts: the sacred and the profane. The profane consists of things that are ordinary, random, and unimportant, while the sacred is the opposite. The sacred “is the sphere of supernatural, of things extraordinary, memorable, and momentous” (Pals 199). When Durkheim mentioned the sacred and the profane, he was concerned about society and its needs. In Eliade’s view, the concern of religion is with the supernatural. To Eliade, the profane doesn’t hold as much meaning as the sacred. He describes profane as vanishing and fragile, while the sacred as eternal and full of substance. He does not try to explain away religion and reject all reductionist efforts. Eliade only focuses on “timeless forms.” He says they reoccur in religions all over the world, but he ignores their specific context and dismisses them as irrelevant. He also ties religion to archaic people whom he defines as, “those who have lived in the world of nature,” (Pals 198) or those who have hunted, fished, and farmed routinely. Archaic people want to live life in the model of the divine because they have a deep longing for paradise, and to be close to God. Also, Eliade is an admirer of how myths tell the stories of not only gods but also on the struggles of life. He says that humanity is forming a new belief system in which the belief is of whether or not there really is a God. Eliade states that because of this theory, we must learn to live without the sacred. Eliade certainly has an interesting approach on religion.…

    Religion In The Decameron

    Boccaccio's the Decameron is a collection of stories written during the time of the Black Plague in Europe during the 1340's. There are many themes and motifs used in the Decameron. The most interesting motif is the fact that the story is closely bound around people escaping the plague, but none of the stories take any kind of solid religious or political stance. He however, specifically does not take what would be called a Christian point of view on the plague, in fact, he provides a negative view of the Christian church. In part, this indicates that part of the purpose of the Decameron being a fictional work about the plague is not to state that it has come to be because of some divine influence, but rather the purpose of it being to…

    Religion In Yann Martel's Life Of Pi

    Religion today can be a very pressing social distraction from the personal and spiritual growth for the good of oneself. To be considered as having good faith in the present time is to believe in a certain, orthodox religion that the judge approves of. However, no one ever thought that living a life of faith would involve being in a state of being classified into three separate religions. This faith is perhaps looked down upon many, but is, in reality, a personal universe one may enter that increases their love for God and the world. In Life of Pi, Yann Martel portrays a boy loving God in the most unorthodox situations, such as practicing three contrary religions faithfully.…

    Life Of Pi Essay On Religion

    Yann Martel grew up in a household that was religiously neutral, religion was never mentioned. Martel had intellectual prejudices against religion as well. He decided to go to a Catholic mass in order to research information to formulate the character Pi, in Life of Pi, while making Pi a more captivating, believable character. When Martel went to the Church, he fell in love with religion and "the greater perspectives" that it gave him; religion becomes extremely important to Martel. His new perspective and views on religion are clearly reflected in Life of Pi, where Pi has a similar love of religion, and Pi also explores a new religion just like Martel did, "'Religion will save us,' I said. Since when I could remember, religions had always…

    Escapism In Religion

    Escapism, and its role in religion, is absent in my opinion. The Christian, the Jew, and the Muslim, through approval of God into their life, surrender all to God. The Christian and the Muslim pray for God to heal their sick and to escort them through uneasy times. They say they are not of this world and they wait for God to call them home (to heaven). The Hindu seeks Nirvana. The closer he comes to the Nirvana state the further he withdraws from being in touch with real life. The Buddhist seeks enlightenment. He asks Buddha for knowledge and understanding as he attempts to conquer his own mind and body through isolation practices such as meditation. I would describe escapism through religion as the divine connection between one’s deity…

    Religion In Life Of Pi

    He tells his faith, he tells them why but, they just question and tell him it is silly. Although, in the end, he had God by his side and an impressive story to tell that made them all believe in God. In a world contrasting between love and hate, light and darkness, Piscine Molitor (Pi) Patel marks his way into the nature of religion to guide himself of every step he takes of his life changing journey. God leaves Pi stranded, stranded in a cramped lifeboat with four wild, ferocious animals and stranded with no family left. As an important aspect of Pi’s survival, religion is used as a way to find meaning through combining the worlds of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity which results in Pi finding his true identity. From the days of a newborn, Hinduism plays a big part and acts as an obstacle throughout the course of Pi’s life.…
