Buddhism
Number of words: 1865 - Number of pages: 7.... I give significance to things or events that aren't intentionally
producing Dukkha. I'm leaving my house to go to work and I happen to leave a
couple of minutes late knowing that there is a possibility that I might be late.
As I'm driving someone pulls in front of me and is maybe doing the speed limit.
I immediately go into reaction mode. This is where I have to realize that the
person in front of me is not intentionally trying to make me late for work. (not
until I flash my highbeams or honk my horn)
Looking at situations objectively and being more proactive can help
us deal wi .....

Revealing The Mistakes Of Puritanism
Number of words: 1214 - Number of pages: 5.... very dark and dreary and these words help create the
eerie mood. These words create an insecure and unsure feeling in the
reader's mind. The reader feels as if he stands right there on the
outskirts of the forest along with Brown. That type of feeling scares even
the bravest of men. Hawthorne also describes the events taking place in
the forest as “devilish,” “horrid,” and “evil.” Evil completely surrounds
Brown in the forest. It puts a thought in him which drives him crazy.
These words give a very insecure feeling to the reader. No one likes the
feeling of evil, which Hawth .....

this point in time I will simply state that there are many differences in
between Christianity and Judaism The Jews believe in "anointed prophets,"
or someone who speaks for God. The majority of Jews rejected Jesus Christ

prophet and he is not God. The Jews understand God as being set apart from
everything else. God is the "wholly other."
There are different levels of Jews. There are reform Jews,
conservative Jews, Orthodox Jews, and Hesetic Jews .....

The Truth About Physics And Religion
Number of words: 1252 - Number of pages: 5.... claim that physics is only concerned with discovering what is true or false,
while religion is concerned with what is good or evil. Scientists appear to
agree that “physics is the manner in which we argue about the objective side of
reality.” Religious followers, on the other hand, agree that “religion is the
way we express the subjective decisions that help us choose the standards by
which we live.” Although these definitions seem to be contrasting, an important
element remains absent, an element that must first be considered before religion
and physics can be compared.
Those .....

Religion/Faith
Number of words: 810 - Number of pages: 3.... like democracy, individuality, self-reliance are all words we
relate to as Americans. We teach our kids that we should be grateful everyday to
be Americans. In this country we can choose our own destination. We can be
whatever we want. I think that being a secular country brings us together and
makes us stronger.We don't have questions we can't answer. We don't hear
stories of people or things we can't prove exist. We know what we have overcome
to be where we are today, and we know what we want to plan for our future. As
quoted in Herbergs essay, "The things that make us proud to .....

Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John
Number of words: 562 - Number of pages: 3.... Matthew and Mark dwell on the Galilean
Ministry; Luke, the Perean; John, the Judean. John omits most of the Galilean
Ministry, and records visits to Jerusalem that the others omit (Luke 9:51-19:27).
The others omit the Judean Ministry, except the Last Week, which all four cover
rather extensively. The Last Week occupies one-third of Matthew, approximately
one-third of Mark, one-quarter of Luke, and one-half of John. John devotes
seven chapters, about one-third of his book, to Crucifixion Day, sunset to
sunset. Thus all four writers present the one and same Person: the God-Man,
Serv .....
