Religion & Philosophy
Our class has found
out about Christianity (religion) and Plato (philosopher) regarding the beliefs
of good and evil.
Christianity
believes that good is where
everyone has the ability to make their own decisions and choices. Their
answers to the decisions they make are the rights of what they want to do.
Christianity
believes that evil is to be
disconnected to god through to failure to love.
It also means not to care about anyone but themselves. God created everything
in the world, and called it good. God created angels and men with free will so
that they can choose to be good or evil. When they choose something other than
God, they are committing sin and evil enters in.
This
is different to what Plato believed.
Plato believed good
and evil were in comparison to nature (good) and dark shadows (evil). Plato supposed that the senses do not give us a
true representation of reality and he thought that humans are made up of matter
and the soul is not. Plato believed good and evil were
that we could make our own decisions and choices, whether or not we will choose
the good or bad options of the decisions we will make.
When I look at
these different ideas, the one that makes the most sense to me is the
Christianity beliefs. This is because I understand that people have the rights
to do what they believe is the right decision to make.
After studying
these new ideas, I understand that good and evil could be thought as the action
and choices we make as an individual. There is always a good or evil outcome to
the everyday choices we make.
