I had an interesting thought while I was bored one day in my English class, and I thought I would share.
Background: We're currently reading The Odyssey (good book) and are doing some review on the topic of Greek and Roman gods. For this review everyone has to put together a poster. One of the questions to be answered on the poster was, and I quote,
Boring Project | Why do you think the Greeks created this God? Why did they need him/her?
|
Now, the question I was pondering was what exactly is the difference between saying that and asking why early Christians created their God? When a religion stops being practiced in mass numbers and loses political power, does it cease to be a "true" religion? Try giving kids a project nowadays asking them why the Christian God was devised by the human mind.
Any thoughts?
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
