Recommended: Impact of music on human behavior

All of the decisions that humans make come out of their worldview, so it is the devils job description to keep humans feeding on ungodly things. For example, Rob had a Biblical Christian worldview, while Ian had a secular worldview. Ian’s worldview impaired his decisions; consequently, he made adequate decisions. God has specifically put this tactic on my heart. Everything my mind feeds on whether it is music, media, or movies affect my choices. This thought completely changed my outlook on the media. I am constantly listening to music, putting minimum thought into the lyrics. The devil uses this tactic so often, because when listening to music I decided which songs I like depending on the beat rather than the words. Without reading through

  • Comparing God, Evil, And Suffering

    715 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is so much evil in the world such as: murder, child mortality, torture, rape, assault and more. So how can there be an all loving God if these things are constantly happening? In this paper, I will be arguing that there is in fact no such thing as an all loving and all powerful God due to Evil. When I think of an all-loving God, I think of God as someone who would never allow a child to be kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed. I think of God as someone who would not allow anything bad or evil to happen in this world. I am not saying people would not get their fair share of misfortune now and again, but they would never experience evil, pain or suffering. That being said, there would be no evil or vindictive people in this world

In quatrain three and four, Baudelaire identifies Satan as the catalyst causing this downfall; it is he that is luring society down this path as “each step forward is a step to hell” (656). Even though society can see what is happening, people remain “unmoved” as Satan’s clutch is too powerful and compelling for people to resist.

  • The Devil Inside

    845 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Evil isn’t a thing, it’s not a person, it’s an attribute like beauty” (Maguire 370-371). Like beauty, evil is seen differently through the individuals’ eyes. Some people have the ability to see the beauty in everyone, while others only see it in a select few, such as the tall, skinny, and “pretty/handsome” ones; this is the same with evil. Some see people who torture and murder others as evil, while others see massive corporations as evil. Evil goes against someone’s morals, or the morals that society has created for us; this is where evil becomes distorted because not one person believes everything that the next person does. Humans have made this concept of evil for themselves, whether destined in their blood or a figment of their imagination is yet to be understood. Humans are not born evil, but the boundaries made by society to maintain order have influenced human perception to see them as evil.
