not criticized.
Religion is not forced upon people in an overwhelming manner. If a
Christian decides to wear Christian apparel or accessories, they should not
be treated any different. They have just as much a right to pray before
school, or at lunch to show their individuality, as those around them might
through clothing, attitude, and word of mouth.
As long as they follow the school codes as expected, they should

(B) Everyone’s Atman is what makes up the ultimate Brahman. So, in a sense, by learning more about the Brahman, Hindus are in turn learning more about themselves and the unity around them.

Good God
904 Words - 4 Pages.... William Paley once said , “If a man wandered upon a
hill, and discovered a watch; who would question the fact, that the watch was
created by a designer?” It's possible that the statement is true, but a watch
can't be compared to a universe's creation. Paley would later say that the world

His business has been through a lot of hardships over the last 16 years.
Another difficulty was the building of the Blue Route near his business. The
