neurotheology of religion Neurotheology is an exciting topic that explains the interrelationship between the functioning of the human mind and Christianity beliefs and actions. In my opinion, l am impressed with neurotheological writings, which answer my numerous questions on how some human beings claim to be in touch with God. Also, l get to learn about different believer’s views of the hypothesis on the existence of the relationship between the human brain and religion. It is an advanced version of phrenology that existed in the nineteenth century, and phrenologists attempted to correlate spiritual tasks with the human brain. By studying phrenology writings, neurotheologists can assess essential lessons to help in formulating an effective neurotheology of religion. The article on neurotheology, avoiding a reinvented phrenology, by Wayne and Malcolm emphasizes the popularity of neurotheology of Christianity in the twenty-first century. Its popularity results from the comprehensive media coverage illustrating dramatic images using the current brain imaging method. The authors claim that the need to learn about phrenology’s concepts and techniques help neurotheologists to avoid repeating similar mistakes that plagued phrenologists. For…
The Future of Religion Religion provides a supernatural perception by which to view the world. Most of the different faiths assess the world and the inhabitants as holy designs from beings or forces that transcend the material world. The principles adopted for religion act as guidelines for what the believers follow as virtues and ethics. Throughout history, religion has been subject to revolution and revivalism. It is plausible that in a few years, religion will continue growing weaker but remain relevant to society and history. Religion is not only historically relevant through analysis of the belief system but also associated with significant influence on the social and political landmarks and achievements. The case for fighting segregation involved a number of black ministers involved, and Martin Luther King also served a critical purpose after the boycott of city buses. The Catholic Church has also been the starter of many controversial wars throughout time, claiming to protect their faith. The church has also allied with several dynasties and kingdoms and in some cases recognized only catholic beliefs as the true Christians (Sherwood,…
IPL or test – Captains for a reason “Now, Rohit should take over the captaincy”, “Is MS Dhoni on his last leg?”, “Kohli cannot handle the captaincy of all three formats”, “Virat is out of form, he should take a rest now”-all of these tweets are getting viral these days. Some of them are bashing Virat Kohli to a greater extent as he was not up to the mark in the last New Zealand tour and some of them have entirely taken a responsibility to bash MS Dhoni by calling him “old man” for no reason. As we all know, only one or two tours or a league cannot decide a cricketer’s fate, especially when that person happens to be the best in the team. But now the time of the year has come when cricket fans will celebrate their festival because IPL is going to start on 29th March. So, once Virat Kohli starts signing his name in every ball with his favourite cover drive, he can shut all his critics by lifting the IPL trophy for the first…
