Lewis explains that this happiness is only “sexual happiness”. Lewis emphasizes in this article that we do have a right to pursue happiness as far as it follows Natural (moral) Law, and legal Law. To Lewis, this situation was not abiding by moral law. Lewis’ statement that “our sexual impulses are thus being put in a position of preposterous privilege. The sexual motive is taken to condone all sorts of behavior which, if it had any other end in view, we would be condemned as merciless, treacherous, and unjust.” rings so true to me.
They also believe sex is a natural thing and should be done amongst each other as a sort of no strings attached type of thing to induce pleasure. Religion is banned, but also created in society. The religion is almost the exact opposite of our religions and morals of society today, but it presents itself in a new form seeing the ford as sort of a god like
Most modern historians regard the Puritans as being anti-fun and acted as walking extremist saints where as Morgan stated that, "The Puritans were not ascetics; they never wished to prevent the enjoyment of earthly delights. They merely demanded that the pleasures of the flesh be subordinated to the greater glory of God." The author gives a new spin on the Puritans though providing multiple examples and outlooks on the Puritans love for sex. In my opinion the author did a very good job in conveying his message. The authors viewpoint of the Puritans provides a useful account on the Puritan Culture that relates to the history of America through the barring of different personal liberties.
Jessica Rasdall Gay Marriage SHOULD be a legal The Declaration of Independence states that are man are created equal and are given certain unalienable rights. These rights include Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. If this is so, why can’t people marry whoever they want to marry? Even though I’m not gay, I feel it is wrong to not allow gays to marry and if I was in congress I would pass a bill that made gay marriage legal in all states. If a person is deeply in love with a person of the same sex they shouldn’t have to worry about if the government will let them get married or not and I have many reason as to how the government is violating peoples right’s.
They should have equal rights just like straight people. I think its okay for them to even get married. We as people shouldn’t judge a person for the sexuality preference or who they chose to be with. Same sex marriages are legal in Massachusetts, California, etc. which represents the significant social issue dividing people in the United States (Feldman, 2009).
Summary: Lessons of Love from Stories of Old Lessons of Love from Stories of Old is written by Gary Lipshutz, where he examines love in our day and age. Lipshutsz argues that love is not the same as it used to be, mainly because of media corrupting the idea of true love. He uses examples such as movies, and television shows, that he states give us an unrealistic concept of love. Commerce, advertising and commercialism suggest a false impression of love, it is brainwashing many because of these things. People look for the wrong things in a relationship such as money, car and good looks.
In particular, when speaking of Spies, the lines are not as clear as they do not accept the tenets of Christianity but see activities such as prayer or forgiveness as useful to the secular world. Because of this area of debate, the idea of absolutes is not possible. Without absolutes, how can we actually give someone guidance on how and where to go in their lives? Without a spiritual path that is laid out and definite, where does someone with a troubled soul go? I am grateful for the door that the book opens by illustrating how the two worlds of psychology and Christianity can be married yet as in any marriage, there is always areas that are not
Explain the concept of moral self and personality in Libertarianism. Libertarianism is the view that we are free to act however we are morally responsible for all those actions. Moral self and personality are two important concepts in Libertarianism. Moral self is how we decide what is right and and personality is an empirical concept, it is influenced by psychological factors such as gene, society and environment. Personality and moral self explain how and why human beings make free choices.
This is coupled with a total neglect of the other end of the spectrum, the evaluation of the positives of heterosexual relationships in marriage. Meeks and Stein would have us believe that all things being equal, the dynamic of same-sex marriage has no negative influence on the family values and society. They even go so far as to assert that gays and lesbians are more likely to strengthen the traditional family values. Missing in this article are discussions and analysis of traditional family values of the heterosexual
And if its religious and biblically homosexuality is forbidden it shouldn’t be legalized it’s going against our moral values and belief Introduction To begin, the civil and legal rights of individuals in married should be discussed. As we know marriage is a basic right of the people, so nobody can oppose and force someone to marry with someone else. This means that one can marry whomever he or she wishes. However I think that this rule does not apply for gay people, because when rules are made, it is usually based on real life, moral values, and natural law. Marriage is the most important social institution, and it is a formality for the perpetuation of procreation; hence same sex marriage cannot meet this requirement.
