Freedom Through Christianity
God’s lessons in the Bible attempt to educate man to his potential failings. Any self-conscious human being would embrace this schooling. Only the minute minds of atheists could be as bold to attempt to put man’s failings above God’s wisdom. This human condition about what God attempts to teach in the Bible is an examination of the possibilities of human interaction. Humans were not meant to live in isolation, and attempting to live in peace and harmony with God is the mission of Christianity. It is a set of principles that attempt to allow us to live happy fulfilled lives, but with the presence of God our creator. To eliminate Him from human existence is blasphemy. What God offers mankind through Christianity is substantial, and there are ten broad rules to which we must attempt to adhere. History is the next best education, and it would seem the oldest civilizations could offer the most wisdom. America is a young country and although pioneering in many areas of human freedoms, she gravely fell short in others. Slavery was one, and as a result is the existing soul of America. This examination of American human oppression, while maybe seeming anachronistic now, clarifies the philosophy of America. The roots to which Americans aspire clearly are defined by her own slavery experience. We as a country have not strayed far from these human oppressions, and without constant and vigilant pursuit of civil liberties America will become subject to the same atrocities as Mussolini’s Italy, Stalin’s Russia, and Hiter’s Nazi Germany.
