What is it the New Testament teaches us? - to believe that the
Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married,
and the belief of this debauchery is called faith."
[Thomas Paine]
Provide proof the bible is actually telling the true account of past events. Using the paradox “it’s true, because the bible tells me so!” doesn’t hold water. To create a document, then within the document itself, proclaim all that’s written within the document is true, proves nothing! Without outside evidence to substan .....

Knowledge 2
Words: 1023 - Pages: 4.... who dominate our economy and run our country. Certainly, this is one of the more important types of knowledge there are and definitely one that we could not do without, but it is not quite as important as some of the others. Education is vital in life, but mere facts cannot aid in the solution to all problems.
Another source of knowledge is entertainment, such as in television, movies, books, or even music. Certain types of entertainment can even be education. For example, television shows such as “20/20” or “DateLine” are both very informative shows, but interesting enough to entertain the public. Entertainm .....

Kant's Fundamental Principles Of The Metaphysics Of Moral
Words: 791 - Pages: 3.... to an end, and the action to obtain the end
must have moral worth. Stipulations of the categorical imperative are that all
actions should act only on the maxim, that actions have moral worth, and the end
is necessary. From these stipulations, it can be derived that the categorical
imperative should be followed in order to live morally. βIf an action is
conceived as good in itself and consequently as being necessarily the principle
of a will which of itself conforms to reason, then it is categorical.β (Abbott,
32) βThere is therefore but one categorical imperative, namely, this: Act only
on that maxim whereby thou canst at the same .....

Multiple Personalities Do They
Words: 1488 - Pages: 6.... even diabetes can exist in one of the personalities and not the others.
The person can switch at any given time from one personality to another,
often not realizing it. This can account for memory loss and time loss
in the primary personality, who often does not have access to the
memories of the other personalities. A common misconception among the
general public is the confusion of MPD with the disease of
schizophrenia. Schizophrenics do NOT have distinct personalities,
rather, they have hallucinations of voices outside their heads.
Schizophrenia is caused by brain malfunctions and can be treated with
drugs, whereas suffe .....

Drugs And The Internet
Words: 1258 - Pages: 5.... and shopping malls are just a finite portion of the content of the Internet. While some content is certainly beneficial to today’s Internet society, a large portion condones, encourages, and develops negative contributions to everyday life. One such issue, the avocation of illegal drug use through websites, Usenet, email, and countless other media plagues our society, especially the impressionable youth. The encouragement of drug use, and avocation of different methods of drug use enhancement is certainly harmful to society; the real question at hand is whether the U.S. government, or any institution for that matter, has an ethical .....

Population Control
Words: 851 - Pages: 4.... some 3rd world countries) is not much of a factor any more. War is not considered a valid method due to today’s “new” wars. Without the three largest lers much of a factor anymore population is free to run out of control. This provides us with an ever-increasing controversy; this is whether government or society should dictate family size.
I believe that society can infringe indirect controls over family size, but these are considered more community norms as opposed to hard fast rules such as governments can set. Two examples will follow. First, we will look at our society. Yes, the USA’s turn to no child and one chi .....

I was probably rich and conceited. Their remarks about my clothing and the
color of my eyes and hair, surprised me. I was not upset because they were
Hispanic. I am sure that I would have been mad if an Anglo-saxon girl would
have talked bad about a hispanic guy or girl.
Another time hispanics thought I was Anglo-saxon, was when my best
friend's dad got me a job at his company. The first day he showed me around and
majority of the workers were hispanic; once again they all looked at me again.
My first encounter with my racist co-workers was during lunch. As I sa .....

Greed In Sports
Words: 770 - Pages: 3.... playoff game, Alomar was up to bat. Umpire John Hirschbeck called Alomar out on strikes. Alomar went back to the dugout where he started to argue the call with Hirschbeck. The umpire finally tossed Alomar. Orioles manager Davey Johnson along with Alomar went racing to home plate to argue the ejection. As Alomar was being pushed away by Johnson, he spit at Hirschbeck. Alomar was suspended for five games which was to be served at the beginning of the 1997 season, so he could continue to play in the playoffs. In my
opinion, this act was indefensible and warranted a stiffer penalty than a five-game suspension. Major league umpire .....
