Euthanasia is it for the good or bad?? In recent times euthanasia has been a hot topic in the newspapers and in the news on TV. Euthanasia is defined as the act of killing someone else to relieve their pain or stress. It could also be considered as the practice of supplying someone with the materials for another person to commit suicide. It is mostly done to relieve someone who has an incurable disease and to help them pass away painlessly. Some people believe that Euthanasia is a way for a person to die with dignity and it can also be known as mercy killing. The law in the UK states that Euthanasia is a criminal offence and is classed as murder. In some rare cases, a person can take their case to court and rarely a judge allows for Euthanasia. Doctors in the UK are cautious of the law and 94% of them do not want a change in the law that would make Euthanasia legal. Throughout the world many people have conflicting views about Euthanasia and whether it should be legal. The C...

I think that the conscience is a way of God reminding us how to behave but I think he isn’t reminding is but we already know how to behave and that we are born knowing what to do. I think that as we grow older we almost change our conscience and that we know how we have to behave and we change it a bit and we alter what we would think is acceptable. I think that in essence it is simply a way of God reminding us how to behave. But some people even if they do get reminded can chose to ignore or they can forget. Christians believe that the conscience is a gift from God and it is the gift to be able to reason and find out what is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do. I think that it is a bit more subtle than this because God gives us the reasoning and if we pursue this reasoning we can know for sure what is right or what is wrong but if we do not pursue the reasoning we will have to refer to the bible or ask priests or look in the bible to find out what to do. Christia...

I think that religious experience is genuine proof to the existence of god because should people see a vision of god they aren’t choosing to see this vision but rather they are seeing it through the powers of god. Others may argue that these people could be making it up, nothing really happened to them and that these people are just attention seeking. However most of these people who have had these religious experiences tend to have a very strong faith and should they just be making this faith up they would be consuming a lot of their own time. Many people after viewing a TV show with Darren brown ‘converting’ people think that converting is just a psychological persuasion and Darren brown claims that he proved it however, I, in response would say are these people really being converted or did they just say something because they didn’t want to offend Darren brown. When he made all the people fall down they fell at different times, they may have wanted not to be the odd one out may...

If a Christian saw someone homeless I would think that the first thing that they would do is help this homeless person. They may help them for many reasons. Firstly they would help this person because in the book of proverbs it says that when you are lending to the poor, you are lending to the lord, and if you help the poor you are helping the lord and he will repay you. This means that a Christian would most likely help a homeless person, and the lord should repay them. Secondly many Christians would help this homeless person for fear of what may happen to them in the next life if they don’t. Evidence of this is shown in the gospel of Luke in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The parable speaks of how the rich man was sent to hell and couldn’t be saved because he was so greedy and didn’t give any of his food or drink to Lazarus. Christians also believe that you cant take earthly possessions to heaven and that you should share your wealth and give to others who are less fo...

Football has often been referred to as the beautiful game. The game has brought delight to many generations of spectators and players. But in the last couple of years the game has become corrupt. Gary Lineker did not receive a yellow card in the whole of his career. For players in today’s game this seems impossible. Today there are usually at least 3 yellow cards issued each match. Players have adopted foul techniques like diving. The players who have the biggest reputation for diving are Drogba and Ronaldo and several others. They try and con the referee with there pathetic theatrics. Players are also known to exaggerate injuries to waste time and other foul and unwanted tricks. Football players have always been role models for today’s youth. However it is easy to see that players are not the best role models due to the foul language they use on the pitch and the physical and verbal fights they get into with other players. Players like Craig Bellamy have been seen swearing on the...
