It was also noted that religion should remain separate from government issues to avoid decisions being compromised based on the religion someone practices. Without this separation issues would continue to increase without being resolved. Many benefits came from the separation of State and Religion including; stability of political involvement, minimizing religious warfare, and the right to religious freedom. With this we can say separation between the State and Religion has benefited the nation in many ways. Separation of State and Religion help maintain the stability of political involvement.
Flew argued that religious believers don’t allow any evidence to account against their beliefs therefore Flew comes to the conclusion that religious language is meaningless. Flew uses John Wisdom’s parable of the gardener, in which there are two explorers they come across a clearing. One believes that a gardener is responsible for the clearing and the other one doesn't. There is no evidence for the believers claim however he still believes that a gardener is responsible by changing his hypothesis, the gardener is invisible. Just like a religious believer who states “god loves us” but can’t explain the contradiction of evil in the world, believers qualify their statements by explaining god’s love is not like humans love he calls this “death by a thousand qualifications”.
But some people with the entrenched mindsets make religion an excuse to prevent driving .It does not say any thing in Qur’an about that . So religion can not be blamed for women’s lack of rights . The Qur’an does order us to do things . One example for that , is wearing a costume for the women to cover her against foreigners and that is called an Abaya . This costume ( Abaya ) has been known from long time in the Islamic world .
Furthermore, Islam should fear of God so that Joseph in Koran would mention God at first to warn master’s wife. It seems like God in Koran directly tells His people what should do and what should not. People who believe in Koran seem like don’t have much free will than people in bible cause they have to obey what God said. Conclusion: In Hebrew Bible and Koran, the concepts of their gods are that God is the most powerful in the world, but there is something different. In Koran, God has power over all things and people have to abide His words without a doubt.
Thus, he believes there is no reason why should you live a moral life rather than for one's self. Fidley asks Seltzer one last question, “what motivation for adopting the moral point of view can you possibly offer without a belief in God and immorality?” which leads us to this quote, “When religion tells us that there is nothing more we can say about morality than that we can’t see the reasons for it, but do it if you know what’s good for you, then I do condemn it. We can do better than that. We can become moral grown-ups. And if there were a God, surely he would approve”.
“Everything is possible to one who has faith.” (Mk 9:35) -This is one of my life mottos. There are no limits with God. The word impossible simply states “I’m possible.” God will provide, but we must believe in Him unconditionally and trust that He will take care of us and not force us through anything that we can’t handle or won’t ultimately make us into a stronger, better person. 6. “Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test.
Religion and Violence According to the Harvard Divinity School, “Religion is a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices that serves the purpose of establishing rules and principles in a society”. When studying various religions, it becomes credible that the principles instilled are those that are morally “just”. Every major religion specifically addresses the issue of violence, and the vast majority condemns such actions. Individuals following a particular religion are expected to follow the rules and principles established which should create a world that is morally righteous and free from violence. For this instance, this is not the case, society must constantly correct immoral actions performed by certain individuals.
How would you like to live in a country that does not allow you a voice regarding what you can say, believe in, or even value? This is after all America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. We pride ourselves on our freedoms of speech and religion. Telling a certain ethnic group that they are wrong to practice their religion is wrong and illegal. I am in favor of building a Mosque at ground zero.
Therefore if a Christian was entering a mosque, out of respect for the Muslim culture, they would also take off their shoes, and vice versa. Some might say that morality and good manners are the same thing, therefore we should adapt our behaviours depending on which society we happen to be in. We should not be so ignorant to realise that our ideas or morals can differ by extremes all over the world, and have no right to try and influence others. If I think ‘Dictatorship is wrong’ is not absolute or universally true. It is true within my culture and society.
People usually discuss Hijab in the context of women. However, the Qur’an first mentions the Hijab (dress code) for the men before Hijab (dress code) for the women: “Enjoin the believing men t lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that is chaster for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of their actions.” Then the Hijab for women is mentioned in the next verse. “Likewise, enjoin the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty; not to display their beauty and ornaments except what normally appears thereof; let them dare their veils over their bosoms and not display their adornment except to their husbands, fathers, fathers-in-law, their sons, stepsons, brothers nephews on either brothers or sisters side, their womenfolk, their own slaves, male attendants who lack sexual desires or small children who have no carnal knowledge of women. Also enjoin them not to strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden trinkets.
