Post 20: Should Socrates Be In Hell

Should Socrates Be In Hell? This is a really good question, if I should say so myself. No, Socrates shouldn't go to hell. Overall, he was a good person and I loved his outlook on death. He felt as if death was something that no one on this earth should fear, which is so true. He stood for the dilemma that he believed in, and I don't think he deserved to be sentenced to death. All in all as Socrates too felt as if he didn't feel like he'd been neglected by the "Gods", People seemed to not like Socrates due to him telling his belief in regards to the Gospel of Gods. A group of young men gravitated to him due to believing the things he said, which to made the people upset as well. Regrades to this story and these facts is my reasoning why I too think he shouldn't go to go to hell.

Post 19:Dante's Concept of Hell

When it comes to Dante's concept of hell there can be many different opinions on what he felt bout this particular word. Personally speaking from what I read Dante's concept of hell; was more on a mind thing. When I say this statement I'm speaking in regards to something occurring only in "his" mind. When reading this story a particular line stuck out to me which was, " The Path To Paradise, Starts In Hell". This statement stuck to me because, I can compare it similarly to my life being that in other words it's saying..." in order to start receiving your blessings, your going to have to go through some rough things. The appeal of pain then comes in when the pilgrim's are trying to restore Dante's consciousness in regards to what sin really is. In modern day time, I feel as if we see hell  on earth today as it is. In regards to the violence that's occurring, the black on black crimes and white on white crimes and just racism period! ...

Post 16: High Government Officials Leading Examples

"Do you care about how people who make a huge impact on your lives act?" When it comes to people in leadership in office it's a certain way they should act. In regards to the world being a better place, you have to lead by an example. If office wasn't to do that then the world would be total chaotic.People whom are in a high leadership position should definitely make sure that they keep the best image that they can. Wouldn't you think so to?

Post 15: Role of the President

When it comes to assessing the role of the president in regards to Socrates' philosophy, Obama fits that description. Socrates had  a strong belief that true knowledge should be something that was seen by actions and not by being taught. He focused more on the material idea of which life held. This is my reasoning for choosing Obama. President Obama had a lot of knowledge which was displayed while his time in the office. This was displayed in many of his actions by the things he'd created and things he did.

Post 18: View of Jesus in the Qur'an

When it comes to the view of Jesus in the Qur'an it may, or may not be the same as yours. Every religion has a different aspect when it comes to "Jesus". The Qur'an view on Jesus was that he was considered to be a prophet and messenger of Allah, which is another name for "God". Jesus is considered to be a sign of peace. Jesus plays a major role in regards to the Qur'an.

Post 17: Comparing and Contrast the Qur'an and the New Testament

When it comes to contrasting between the two are the "Conversion Stories", in the Bible these stories contain many prophets whom are all struggling in their faith. In the Qur'an you don't see many Gods lifting each other up and also the prophets here are all perfect. This is a major difference when it comes to the two. Between the two, they share a common trait. Both of them told a story about Moses', although they were different.

Post 14: Exploring Roles Of Gods

When it comes to exploring Gods in modern and ancient time there's similarities and difference. In each time whether or were ancient or modern, Gods played an important role. In "Ancient" stories these Gods played numerous of roles in regards to where they stood. They had control over many different aspects of life on earth. Whereas, "Modern" story Gods played a major role in making sure the world was good, trying to save the world. As stated some share similarities and some otherwise.

Post 13: Justness of US War

When it comes to the justness of some of the US Wars everyone has their own insight and opinion on this particular topic. Some may think that the war by all means was very necessary, whereas others may think otherwise. During my lifetime whenever something occurs where there's a conflict I try to come up with a solution that doesn't involve violence. This is said because, I feel as if the United States could have done the same thing instead of fighting with these countries. Within this particular story "The Art of War" they discuss war in different aspects. Each of these aspects that this story speaks on comes from a different approach that could adjust many opinions on whether or not your for or against the violence that's occurred. "The Art of War", speaks more on believing that violence is the key for succession when competing against competitors or any obstacle. Furthermore, the story "Bhagavad-Gita", story reflects more on my opinion on be...
