Culture? Faith?


people live in a world where information that is given is up to their own beliefs. The fact is that nothing really is true in all these ideas. Because the world has turned into one big culture men and women tend to think his/her own way is the right way. Most developed countries believe in equal individual rights and the freedom of speech. This also leads to having the freedom to believe. By enforcing laws on such occasions people have come to think of themselves as a benevolent dictator. The rules are made by one individual and if other do not keep that rule..... Straight to court. Many similarities lie in all different cultures around the world. Back in history scientist believe that people all come from on root, and all people lived together. Thus naturally all races carry similar traits in culture. One of the greatest common components of all culture is spiritual beliefs. All cultures have some sort of belief and faith. But the culture does not necessarily affect faith. It is in our human nature to search for a purpose. It is in the human spirit to go beyond what the eye is able to see. Although the methods that people try to search for God may be different the truth is they are all searching for him. Even the self-professed 'Atheists' are trying to search for the truth in themselves. Thus faith is a great component in a man's life, but culture not necessarily affects faith as much as one's free will. There is one way one truth and one light. Like the Sawi we are all filled with the heart to take revenge, but we have one savior who saves us; Christ.

Aaron,

I enjoy reading your posts. Here is my advice to you. You have great thoughts, and I think you are a really deep thinker; I also think you are a very creative thinker and so your brain goes in many directions. My point being I think your posts can end up being a bit scatter brained, and I think they would be more powerful if you could try and organize better. Don't take this personally, but I appreciate what you have to say and I want to help you, as your teacher, become an effective speaker/writer.
