This presents an issue with the moral and rational reasoning behind the deeds. It’s understood that the act is warranted by the divine and therefore the ethical is no longer in effect. The next term to define is the one that most of us would be familiar with and can relate to. If you’re a religious individual or have some faith in the ultimate, you might consider yourself labeled under this category. As previously stated, in order to be a KoF, you must be willing to nullify the ethical standards you are most accustomed to in order to comply to the declaration of God or any other divine or spiritual medium.
We use the phenomenological approach as a way to interpret data that we observe from several different religions. For example we can use phenomenology to look at what different religions define as sacred and compare them all to come up with an outline of what has to occur and what the requirements are to call something sacred to a religion. Kelsay and Cunningham describe the sacred as, “an abstraction, a concept that allows us to group together and consider a number of different things.” (Cunningham and Kelsay 26) this means that there needs to

Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” As Jesus proclaimed, we as Christians must find a way to forgive thy enemy, even if they are of Islamic faith. Throughout this paper, I will explain in depth the religion of Islam so that we as Christians may come to understand that not all Muslims are terrorist, and
Relative Ethics allows people to understand why they take the actions they do. It allows them to explain their reasons. This contrasts to Absolutism where everyone who follows has to follow the same rules and laws. Cultral backgrounds and religious views make absolutism unrealistic. Right and wrong is a reflection of people’s emotions, and as emotions vary, they can never have the same views on subjects.
The church is called to be one diverse body of God, but as churches can remain dominant to one race, it becomes difficult to incorporate diversity into what already is established. The implications from these voices can stir up various feelings. Like for example, the voice of the marginalized could cause dominant culture to engage with others differently because of knowing their certain situation. The culture which is dominant can have a positive outlook on others, while continuing to seek the diversity that God wishes us to
They would find it outrages since it would be unorthodox to their teachings. With the different viewpoints and knowledge levels of the people today, it would not be a surprise to see varies people agree or disagree with cultural relativism. Given a position of one of the two views in the world today, I believe many would side with the idea that seems morally right even though a small group believes it’s the right thing to do. For example, she gives a scenario in which between two different civilizations. One of the civilizations was the Greeks who practiced cremation for the dead while the other civilization, the Callatians, believed in Cannibalism of eating the dead.
Jefferson explains that the government should only interfere with religious freedom when it inferences with someone else’s natural right; thusly making the separation of church and state not absolute. Kennedy misinterpretation is unethical because it causes citizens to falsely believe that their religious freedom cannot be taken away. Romney misuses his information when he argues “[w]e should acknowledge the Creator as did the Founders –in ceremony and word. Romney is correct that a one of the Founders, such as Jefferson states [w]ell aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free...”. Jefferson does acknowledge that there is a God or Creator that gave human beings the freedom of thought.
Dissoi Logoi contains opposing arguments that can be argued either way. Its relevance to Rhetoric is that it allows us as readers to see that no argument can be made both bad and good, just and unjust, seemly and shameless. In our own minds we know right versus wrong, but not everyone has the same vision of what is right and what is wrong. What is wrong to one can be right to another and vice versa which appeals to the logos aspect of rhetoric. These notion of contradiction within this writing are rhetoric.
He is almost certainly sure that no God exists, but says that he would change this view if he were confronted with empirical evidence that suggested otherwise. However, Dawkins’s declaration that he is not a fundamentalist could be questioned by examining other parts of his book. Dawkins seems to focus more on the evidence that religion lacks opposed to the evidence that his evidence-based worldview contains. He also holds Darwinism in a very high esteem. One might say that Dawkins’s view of Darwinism is a strict set of basic ideas and principles, embodying the definition of fundamentalism.
