Religion Reviews

Somehow I always seem to be writing about my boyfriend in my reviews- this one will be no exception! He always seems to bring out the writer inside me! (He'd cringe if he heard me say that!) Anyone who has read my reviews will know i'm from Northern Ireland, and i feel that gives me a very good right to write about Religion. I may not ...

The word God has been the most fought over and debated word in the history of ideas. For centuries it dominated the thoughts of the most intelligent people on the planet. Even today, talking about God is guaranteed to raise the passions! I decided to write this review as my father in law has 'seen the light' and is imposing his very very ...

What are the images that conjure in your mind when you think of Christmas? Excess drinking, eating, sitting in front of the television sparked out? Even child images are probably for 90% of the country things like presents, Santa Claus, snowmen etc. Is this the true meaning of the season? For a lot of people sadly the answer to this question ...

Let me start by saying that I dont follow any religion, so if I offend anyone with what I say, then I apologise in advance. Obviously I dont know the ins and outs of every religion, I couldnt tell you the first thing about Sikhism, or Hinduism. I have a basic knowledge about the English speaking religions, such as Protestant, Catholic and ...

In this opinion, I do not wish to deliberate too much over various religions, which are right or wrong, aspects of religion and my own beliefs. I wish to talk more about religion on the great scheme of things, and how it affects people. I have a strong feeling I could face a few strong opposing comments on this review! The majority of ...

Religion has always been thought of as a tolerant home to thriving theologies founded on piety and repentance, such is a public perception based on apathy. With church going numbers dwindling over time, the church faces huge problems centred on very real business issues whilst the fulcrum of debate remains as lively as ever. It's incredibly ...

I've been drawn to writing in this section after a very distressing R.E lesson today about... IVF and Fertility treatment, what on earth?? Hmmm.. and the teacher seems to have taken it upon himself to ask my opinion every 10 minutes in full view of the class. But then i am a very loud and opinionated person, not to mention wise! **snigger** ...

Religion, countless times in the past and still today, has and still is being used to control people. Most of the wars that occur in the world can be blamed in part or in whole, from this I include wars like the recent one in Iraq, but I'm not going to get started on the causes of that war, my opinion on it will follow shortly. Innocents have ...

Religion.....we have all encountered it at some point in our lives and there are lots of different religions in the world. Some religions have caused war and death and distruction, just by being forced upon people. All through history people have been persecuted for their faith or rather because they didn't beleive in the same faith ...

Man has always attempted to explain things which were beyond his comprehension. Some ancient pagan religions consisted of human sacrifices to the sun god in order to make the sun rise the next day. Do you believe that human sacrifices are what make the sun rise? Flicking through a copy of the Bible (the old Testament, I don't ...

One of the things I’ve always been taught about religion is that you don’t need to worship the god of the faith to belong to it. What’s more you don’t even need to like the god of the religion to be a member of it. I suppose this is where my problem may have lay, for several years I’d believed in one particular god, ...

If there were indeed a Padre Guido Sarducci, as portrayed by that swarthy goombah American bloke a few years back on Saturday Night Live, I'd be running to him like, forgive the blasphemy, a bat out of Hell. For I have sinned. This story actually falls more appropriately under the Most Embarassing Moments category, or for my hapless victim, ...

Voodoo is a Religion. Most of us have heard of the word Voodoo. In many of our minds it conjures up thoughts of Zombies and weird practices, thanks to Television and horror stories. If we take our time to study and learn about other religions we will soon find out all is not what it seems. Voodoo is a religion. In ...

Religion is the basis for far too many wars in the world. For this reason, it can be viewed as a bad thing. It also has a tendency to create total and utter 'nutters' who basically do whatever they want - be it killing themselves en mass, or else killing many others, because they claim to believe that their Religion is telling them to do ...

I feel the need to confess my sins. After all, confession is good for the soul, isn’t it? I’m a good Catholic girl (well, I was) so I have plenty of sins to go around. I turned my back on organised religion a long time ago, as simply as I used to turn my Nan’s pictures of the Pope to face the wall when we had a wild party. ...

Going to these religious buildings and then actually making the effort of entering them seems to be hard work in today?s society. Or is it just that we want to be forgiven if we do bad things and expect it to be granted by putting in no effort? Or even is it just because all we want now is money? Or do we just want social acceptance and now ...

I have been a chistian for 6 years and don't consider myself to be religous. i am a *normal* person and do *normal* things i@d just thought i better defend the christians out there because it looks like we are getting a raw deal. i agree that some christians are a bad advert for the church in their actions and what they say and stuff but i ...

Religion is hardly something I know well, though I did get A* at R.E at GCSE. Some would say that’s because I had a deep sense of religious nature – I would propose that it was an amalgamation of remembering ‘stuff’ and trying not to ridicule non-Christian religions. Anyway, I digress… My chosen argument for ...

So the Stone Roses said. This plainly isn’t true in today’s world, it’s naïve, simplistic and just not really happening. But it’s a very good idea never the less. Religions in the main do some to have something similar to this as their core – bringing the world together and uniting it under one God. But in ...

Religion is sometimes misunderstood.....Why Because some people see religion as war, conflict and fighting. Maybe in some cases it is..... But first we need to understand what is religion...... PLEASE people do not get affended by what I am about to say..... Religion could be argued that it is man trying to ...
