Ok my professor is going to give us our first exam in a few days however I still need someone to help me understand these points: 1)How does the Image of God thesis challenge the claim of conflict? Explain the incomprehensibility argument against the claim of conflict? 2)Explain the primary arguments for God’s existence (ontological, cosmological, design arguments). Explain some objections to these arguments. Evaluate the overall strength of these arguments. 3)Explain and evaluate the pragmatic approach to the philosophy of religion. So if anybody can help me better understand I would really appreciate it. Many thanks in advance.

Without getting God involved. Please don't tell me about Jesus unless you use him as an example or refer to him as a teacher and nothing more.
Fatalism pretty much states that "if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen." Whether you believe in God or not, if you believe in fatalism or determinism, you're sure that no matter what you do about something, you can't change it because it's destined to happen.
What is it called when you believe otherwise?
When you say that the human being is so powerful and the human mind is so strong that you can make anything happen if you set your mind to it? Or at least something close that that basic idea.
I'm aware of the fact that there may be several philosophycal movements invllving this general idea, but what are some? I don't know any of the names, and I would very much like to learn about them.
This is very important to me.
Thanks!

I just read a question asking if Ghandi went to Hell because he did not accept Christ. A lot of the answers said yes, despite the way in which he lived his life, he will still go to hell. But there are so many parts of the world that have not been colonized; where the people still live "primitively" and have not been inrtoduced to Christianity. So, what happens to those people? Are they sent to hell anyway, or does God judge them differently? What does the Bible say? or How do YOU think they will be judged? I'm not a religious fanatic, nor am I an atheist- just curious as to what people's opinions are, or if there is a specific Bible passage that DIRECTLY addresses this issue.

meat from an animal that died, for example, in a cruel slaughter house...would the horrendous manner in which said animal perished affect the person who ate it in a negative way?

I have noticed that there seem to be a few very prevalent patterns of thought (among serious answerers) in Answers, and I wondered if anyone else had observed this as well, and what conclusions you drew from it.

Assumptions: Heaven is a place of God.
Hell is a place devoid of God.
If you love God you want to be with God.
This question takes place in the Christian Realm. But Gandhi never accepted Christ as his savior. However, he did, and there is no argument against this, unselfish, good things throughout his life. Yet, the fact remains that he never accepted Christ as his savior.
By this logic, since Gandhi never accepted 'God,' he must go to Hell, a place devoid of that God whose acceptance he denied.
But this sounds a little off, because Gandhi was still a good Guy. Why does Christianity exclude good people? Wouldn't the point of the religion, in its (excuse my introduction of another theme) 'pure' form, want to encourage people to live good lives? So living a good life is less important than accepting Christ as his savior?

It seems contradictory to me.

the questions in this section move so slowly? Is it because philosophers have to meditate more?

I work at an Information booth in the building where the Academy awards are being held, and we keep getting questions from people who want to know how to BUY tickets to the ceremony, or how to BUY tickets for the bleachers. I am just amazed by how many people are willing to PAY just to see celebrities. And then there are people who are arguing with me about whether or not they can come stand on the street and watch. I tell them the streets will be blocked off, they argue with me!! They're desperate to see celebs. I just don't get why people care that much.

Sounds to me like she isn't ready for a serious relationship.

And, is playing games, choosing among 3 men, and not choosing, etc.

I love her and want to wait awhile, last year I think I promised her a year of attention or something, maybe the year is almost up.
