The Importance of Religion

Academic Paper Summary by: khatiar1955    

Original Author: Kh. Atiar Rahman

          Suffice it to say that we’re in a
Cultural War and even it’s a spiritual war too to retaliate our real life
situation. It’s a philosophical war in the sense that it’s a very practical
war. This is a spiritual war for the reason that it is a race between
high-quality and malevolence, between decency and indulgence. This is a
philosophical war because it is a contest between biblical faith interacted
upon a religion and modern humanism, between God’s word and human judgment.
This is a practical war because it is about human conduct in social and
cultural practices. It’s about whether a society can abide if it tolerates such
things as abortion, divorce, gambling, pornography, homosexuality, sexual
promiscuity, etc. To win this war, theists must be well-versed about the
truth-seeking foundations of both sides, about goals and objectives, about
strategies and tactics, and about how to be actively complicated in this
conflict. For theists, the philosophical nitty-gritty of this war is set forth
in scripture. For humanists, the philosophical brass tacks are from human
reasoning as declared in humanistic books and documents. Because theists are
generally not familiar with the writings of humanists, theists generally do not
understand why we are in a cultural war and that humanists are at this time
captivating this war. This war is being fought in many arenas – ethics,
financial side, schooling, law, politics, religion, etc. Activists are to be
found on the streets, in public school classrooms, at workplaces, in churches,
and in the halls of civil governments.


 This is an inquiring feeling whether we are
involved or not in regard to the ethical prospects of life which predominates a
man to seek truth which are vitally desired for spiritual as well as eternal
life. Theists are generally active in churches and homes, but the humanistic
philosophy of secularism has now generally barred faith cooperated upon a religion
from workplaces, educational classrooms, and the halls of civil governments.
The only way for theists to stop this rising humanistic way of life and its
disparaging morally wrong charged is for well-versed theists to confront the
philosophy of humanism with the attitude of faith intermingle upon a religion
in every arena of life. To put in the picture to others if we have the same
opinion that these matters are worthy of greater absorption and that they
impress to be squabbled more fully among Christians. AIK is a new probabilistic
argument alongside the continuation of the Christian God. According to one
translation of the argument, if the Christian God existed he would ensure that
all human beings have an excellent knowledge of the Bible before they die. But,
as a matter of chronological fact, most human beings do not even get close to
having an excellent knowledge of the Bible before they die. Therefore, the
Christian God probably doesn't exist. Ted Drange develops two arguments for the
nonexistence of the God of evangelical Christianity, an all-powerful and loving
being greatly concerned about the fate of human beings and desiring a personal
liaison with them. According to his argument from confusion, extensive
puzzlement stuck between Christians over matters of ultimate consequence
entailed that the God of evangelical Christianity in all probability does not
exist. In particular, the uncontrolled diversification of Christian sects on
such matters entails that, even if any one of those sects is correct, large
numbers of Christians must hold false beliefs about concern of eventual
importance--contrary to what one would predict if the God of evangelical
Christianity existed. The argument from biblical imperfection contends that if
the God of evangelical Christianity existed, then the Bible would probably be
flawlessly comprehensible and trustworthy and lacking marks of solely human
authorship; but since the Bible does not meet either of these criteria, the God
of evangelical Christianity probably does not exist.
