The Sanctity of Life. Tyler Buccalo
The sanctity of life is important to everyone. The sanctity of life is something we must hold dear in our life. God gave us life, and we must never throw it away or take it for granted. If we did we are giving up one of God's most precious gifts to humanity. One example of someone throwing it away was at the school shooting that took place at Virginia Tech back in 2007. The shooter threw his, and others away that day. When he started he asked one simple question "Are you a Christian?" If you said yes he killed you. If you said no he shot you somewhere that might not kill you. I mean you could die from blood loss, but that would take longer than the actual shooting from when it started to when it ended. This man should not have done what he did …show more content…

We are all made in God's image even that shooter, but he did not care and commited murders that day. The Bible tells us to value our live, because we were made by God in His image. God gave us life He did not have to, but He did.
I can think of one instance of violation of the sanctity of life. It is when David sent
Basgieva's husband to his death for his own personal gain. This seems just like lust which it is, but it also shows that not even a life can be in the way of sin. David might not have personally killed him, but he did kill him by giving him the order to go to the front lines. David broke the sanctity of life just so he could do an act that he would later come to regret in his life.
People no longer value it due to people losing their faith and hope. You hear stories about these things. When you think how could that person do this, or how did he get those weapons.
While at the same time another person could be saying "Why did God let them do that," or something a long those lines. People who think like that put in their heads that God didn’t stop the shooter from doing that. They think God should stop all evil before it happens. That is

In 2003, the nonfiction author Jon Krakauer published his book Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith. Motivated to expand the typically Islam-focused understanding of religious extremism that dominated the U.S. after 9/11, Under the Banner of Heaven addresses fundamentalism and the violence that often accompanies it in a totally different context – the Mormon faith. Krakauer tells in parallel the history of Joseph Smith and the founding of his church, and of the modern-day extremist offshoots that embrace Mormon beliefs but do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

A common questioning of a higher power beyond the physical realm lingers in society: Who and what is God?. However, many of these theological questions cannot be answered until we, of course, die. Due to human’s innate curiosity to understand the forces beyond their own, especially in terms of religion, humans find their own reasons to believe in God in the process of discovery. Religion is a sense of belief and worship to praise a higher power (God), and it provides a guide for human beings to have the opportunity to come together and live as one image of God’s children. “Imagine There’s No Heaven” is an article in which Salman Rushdie, the author, presents an atheistic view where religion is pointless, and a higher being is non-existent.

The pilgrimage and all that it entails is a combination of a sincerely devout journey as well as a pleasure trip. The choice of a pilgrimage for a framework for his collection of short stories also allowed Chaucer to accomplish one more very unusual thing: the storytellers, the pilgrims, because of their interests as people, often overshadow the stories that they tell. The General Prologue, known as the gallery of portraits, makes full use of the little human affectations and pretentions. Chaucer’s method of selection appears to have been a collection of characters which stand out as archetypes of fourteenth century England and as individuals. The secret of Chaucer converting stereotypical characters into living individuals is hidden in the pregnant phrase, a brief comment touching upon universal human actions or attitudes, which brings to the reader a host of associations based on his personal experiences.
