Christian Based Idealism Analysis

Patrick J. Buchanan wrote an article titled “Is This Our America Anymore?”, his position is anti-immigration and believes that America will not be ours anymore. Mr. Buchanan stated in his article “ The border will disappear, and America will be a geographical expression, not a country anymore”.(paragraph 14) Buchanan believes this because according to him “it will not be long before Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and Texas resemble California, which is on the brink of default¨.(Buchanan paragraph 12)

My parents have discovered a different religion since then, one even closer to God, and me not being religious drives a wedge between us. I believe that if I hadn’t gone to catholic school, there would be a possibility of me being religious, as I would have been taught a different mentality than Catholicism regarding religion.

Liberals and conservatives can both claim to be Christian because the underlying Christian belief is in God, not how the changes of modernization are accepted. Liberals are more adaptable to modern cultural beliefs, such as science, and embraced higher learning as a result. Conservatives, meanwhile, rely on the faith over reasoning and there is “resistance to such things as biological evolution and criticism of the Bible.” Though both parties believe in God, liberal thinking incorporates science as part of “God’s work in the world,” while conservative thinking is faith based, and religion in their minds, “does not necessarily have to be intellectually satisfying.”

Christianity is one of the dominant religions on the planet, and Christian Theism has played a major role in shaping the development of Western culture. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of Christian missionaries, Christian doctrine has even influenced the views of non-Christians. Nevertheless, the contemporary world is a pluralistic and diverse one, and postmodern perspectives have arisen to challenge the wide-ranging influence of Christian Theism. The purpose of this paper is to show how a belief in Christian Theism can help one understand the nature and meaning of life, and this paper will show evidence that this belief brings both uniformity and order to everything.

In C.S Lewis’ novel, Mere Christianity, he dives into the differences that can be within a moral code, while also proving that they are all the same that the base. Lewis also tries to answer a question that does not have a simple and clear-cut answer: why do we feel bad when we misbehave, if everyone misbehaves?

As children we are shown life through rose colored glasses. Our entire world is dependent on the bias that is handed to us. For most people, what is taught in the years that they wear those jaded glasses is the backbone for their life. As a child raised in the Christian church I grew into a submissive, incompetent, and ignorant young adult. I purged myself of religion, and I quickly became a powerful, independent, and freethinking young woman.

The Christians worldview belief that knowledge is everywhere on and knowing who God is, and he love is power (Hiles, Smith, 2014, pp.4). In the scenario about Paul and his teammate trying to get him follow the leader. Paul knowledge is he know straight hard work and dedication in the gym will always pay off than magic pills.

“Man will either be governed by the Bible or the bayonet,” John Adams once said. The world is classified into many different worldviews, but two opposing worldviews are: Judeo-Christian and Humanism. From Matthew 28: 18-19, we see that Judeo-Christian is a worldview based on Biblical Truth, which Jesus Christ is the Creator of all, and that stewardship is our duty. The proponents of this worldview think that man is corrupt. On the other hand, Humanists believe that man is perfectible. Man is not born with a sinful nature and could choose to be good. Man has chosen which way he wants to be governed. They have elected which path he will take; either the Bible or themselves.

My upbringing was as Christian as imaginable in the twenty-first century. Perhaps it was even typical of a southerner. I was reared in a Southern Baptist family and church; I attended a conservative evangelical school from the first through the twelfth grade. Imagine the life: biblical literalism the prevailing philosophy, homosexuality an abomination, patriarchy as the norm, and evolution a dangerous devilish deception.

Due to the "highly subjective nature of most scientific theorizing... [we should] let the Bible speak for itself and modify our scientific view of origins accordingly." (as cited in Downey, D., & Porter, S., 2009).

In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

Despite a Christian upbringing, formal and self-education has led me to become an atheist. Like millions of other people in the world I’ve been spoon fed Christianity since child hood. I’ve been

As soon as I walked up to the counter Teanna greeted me with Hello, in a pleasant tone. Teanna ask how could she help me I told her let me get the BMT sub and she replied, "6' or footlong, I replied, '6' and she said, 'what kind of bread would you like and I replied, "please give me the Italian herb and cheese and she said," what type of cheese would you like, and I replied "pepper jack". Teanna made my sub the way I wanted it and ask would I like chips and drink...Teanna was on a roll she was doing a great job. The entire time she was processing my order Adnan remember sitting on a crate being entertained by his cellphone after Teanna wrapped my sub up, Adnan raise from the crate he was sitting on and came to the register and rung up my combo. Adnan provided my receipt and did not thank me for

Christianity is not an ideal, it’s a life style choice. You are not born into a religion, you are not a Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or any specific religion from birth, you are raised as to be that religion. C.S. Lewis is an example of someone who was brought up in a Protestant household, lost faith through his teen years and found Christianity in college. We develop our religion throughout our years, growing more knowledgeable from our experiences and realizing that each of God’s teachings can relate back to us on a day-to-day basis. Each book in the Bible is like stories with lessons. Mere Christianity, taught similar lessons to the Bible, but with a philosophical point of view. C.S. Lewis could take his experiences and relate them to

I became a Christian at the age of 14, partly as a result of being taught evolution in public school. Learning about evolution made me very unsettled. I reasoned that if evolution were true, then my life was a result of a series of random accidents and therefore my life had no purpose. I heard a clear gospel presentation and trusted Christ as my savior as a freshman in high school. Since that time, I have had an avid interest in the scientific evidence that proves the biblical creation account true and evolution false.
