An eternity of realized earthly wrongdoings that have caused eternal consequence is the hell of hell. A life lived viewing oneself as the center of the universe and rejecting the love of God will cause overwhelming remorse. This, Strobel argues, is the true punishment: the acknowledge of immense wrong to a loving God and eternal regret and anguish. Strobel also argues that though the concept seems MU—why such an intense consequence for something seemingly unequal?—the actuality is that rejection of God is the greatest offence. To rebel against an all-loving Creator God is the ultimate form of rebellion and the most self-centered earthly decision to
Is Torture Morally Justifiable? Torture has always been debated regarding its ethical and moral justification. The largest and still on going debate is whether or not torture is effective enough to disregard international and domestic laws such as the Geneva Conventions. In the past, and especially during wartime, atrocities have been committed in ill regard to these laws. Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are prime examples of how the use of torture can become unlawful if not properly controlled.
This is the question absolutes ask before making any decisions. Although many think this theory Has its weaknesses. Many people think that did God write this theory because it is good merely or is it that the thought it would be good to him. Some also say that why should we follow everything God says, that if he said killing people was good, will that mean it was actually good. Also Absolute Laws are always interpreted the wrong way.
It typically fashions itself in a question such as this. How can a good God allow so much evil to take place if He loves us? This is often asked by but not limited to someone who has been hurt while serving God faithfully or by someone who has no significant knowledge of who God truly is. The problem of evil also presents itself as more of a statement rather than a question as well. If God is all powerful and in complete control why does he allow such evil things to take place?
There is one giver of life and there for should only be one taker. Punishment should fit the crime, however capital punishment is wrong for moral and religious reasons, and it’s also costly as well as filled with error and against commonly accepted beliefs, but most importantly there are alternative that can eliminated most issue associated with the death penalty. Capital Punishment is against moral and religious values. Since we were old enough to understand we began being taught certain dos and don’ts of life. These particular values mold us as well as set example for the way that we are supposed to live our lives.
Many of them are about being aware of the impact of decisions on one’s own feeling of protection. It can be considered to be self-serving and callous. Because the problem with this is that his theory is overwhelmingly cruel. Throuhgout the text, it can easily be observed that he supports the regime of violence so as to maintain power. For example, according to Machiavelli, it may be necessary to be violent towards disobedient people and Machiavelli(1532) says “The prince should make himself feared in a such way that, if he is not loved, at least
I’m definitely an altruist who doesn’t believe in altruism. This may sound contradicting but it’s the truth. If you tell me to make an argument about altruism, I could definitely persuade you that altruism is a destruction of human’s civilization. I don’t think altruism make any sense. However, in every act that I do, I always do the reverses of my argument because of the selfishness within me, which I always try to cover.
Augustine is quick to clarify that God did not make sin. If God is good and all things he created are good then sin can not be created by God, for sin is evil. Augustine believes that sin is humanity's responsibility. Augustine’s view of the original sin is very complex and does not discuss it completely in Confessions, for his point of writing the book is more of a personal reflection on his view of evil in his own life. Simply stated, original sin is the condition that inclines human beings to selfishness and disobedience, even when they may want to act otherwise.
Human suffering is a sign that there’s something wrong with the world. The experience of suffering should prompt the human search for God. Some, of course, reject the existence of God altogether. This solves the problem of suffering by removing it completely, but makes for several other problems. First, there’s no one to blame for the suffering.
This becomes confusing as there are certain scenarios (otherwise known as ‘duty situations’ as there is a duty of care attached to the individual who has omitted to do something) where you can be found guilty on terms of an omission and other conditions wherein you can omit but still not be guilty of an offence. With this in mind, it is important to distinguish between whether the omission was indeed attached to a duty of care or not. In this essay, I will explore that although it is possible to be found guilty on terms of omissions; it is a very daunting and perplexing process and requires careful consideration by any court of law before any sentence is decided. Duty situations are simply circumstances where a person has a legal duty to act, even if the action could be classed as an omission- for example, if I was to have a child and not feed them, I will be found guilty of failing my duties as a parent (although I did not necessarily act). These duty situations are precedents that are used when looking at cases that would not necessarily link to an Act of Parliament, but are definitely not just straight-forward omissions.
