outsiders or send them into concentration camps. Hence, his only choice is to join the Berlin Institute for Human Sexuality, a place where he finds himself accepted by others around him. This is similar to what Eric Hoffer describes in his book “The True Believer” as one type of people who are likely to participate in a mass movement. In fact, Hoffer says that “By renouncing individual will, judgment and ambition, and dedicating all their powers to the service of an eternal cause, they are at last

“The Believers Church: A Natural Resource Worth Conserving” by Jason G. Duesing is an article about protection and preservation of the church doctrine. President Theodore Roosevelt’s words, not only addressed “Conservation as a National Day” , but he “was not concerned with any immediate threat to the existence of the growing nation, but rather the present population’s reckless indifference toward a vital problem that threatened its future existence”. Duesing states that culprit indifferences
Religion Impacts Believers and Non-Believers Religion is something most people around the world have in common. Whether one holds religious beliefs or not, he can relate to others with similar beliefs. A belief in a higher power has a big impact on society today just as it has in the past, as illustrated in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Religion impacts all members of society, whether they believe in one or not. For example, many people believe that purgatory is part of their afterlife. “[T]he Catholic

Do not fret – it leads only to evil – Psalms 37:8. David clearly exhorts us 3 times in Psalm 37 to ‘fret not’! A fretful believer can have very little Christian influence in any community. No man can have much confidence in the piety of another who habitually indulges in fretfulness. Who does not know that indulging in the slightest bit of fretful behavior instantly breaks up our peace of mind, brings the spirit into rough waters, stirs up the sediment and makes it like the troubled sea? I admit
Eye of the Believer “People hear what you say but see what you do; and seeing is believing. - Unknown. For this reason and many more is why I strongly agree in the common saying, “seeing is believing”. I feel this way because you can’t believe what everyone says because not everyone has your best interest at heart and also because your actions speak louder than your words.

employees. An employee will perform better or at his peak when he has a positive perception of the work he is doing and his organization. When an organization believes in its people, it does everything in its power to keep them happy and motivated.

Being an optimistic believer, I choose to focus on the positive things rather then dwell on the negative ones. Chief Seattle said, “Your God loves your people and hates mine…” (Page 708) I do not believe God is picking any race above another nor is luck on one side any not on the other.
