What Is Religion

world religion
by rowanf

Religion can be defined as the worship and belief of gods or a god. The other definition is a set of beliefs regarding to the purpose and origin of the universe. Several religions consist of symbols, narratives, traditions and holy histories associated with deities. All these symbols and histories intend to give meaning to life and derive morality. Other interchangeable terms that can be used in place of religion are belief system and faith. Religion as a field studied by academics can be divided into three broad categories for instance world religion. Such students often write papers on religion and these religion papers are important because they contribute a lot to a student’s final grade. There are steps that should be noted down when writing religion papers and some of these steps will be discussed in this article. A religion paper is a paper that broadly discusses one of the major subjects in religion discipline.

The first step that is necessary is to look for a topic for writing religion papers and this topic should be researchable and catchy. After coming up with the topic, the next step is to do a research on the topic and this included looking for information from different sources of information. The several sources of information for writing religion papers include books, magazines, journals and the Internet. Information obtained should be written down in note form so that a write does not forget the information to include in body text. Students are often required to write religion papers such as essays and research papers which often account for the final grade or students’ academic excellence. These papers are supposed to be original and plagiarism free so that students can obtain high grades. The other point that is important when writing religion papers is for students to have good writing skills and analytical skills.

ABC News president David Westin steps down

NEW YORK – ABC News President David Westin, the longest-reigning network news division chief, with more than 13 tumultuous years on the job, told his staff Monday that he is resigning and will leave by the end of the year.

Westin has presided over anchor changes at three of ABC’s top news programs over the past year. Under pressure from his corporate bosses to save money during a dispiriting time in the news business, he also oversaw a cut of 25 percent in ABC News’ staff in the past few years.

Westin, who just turned 58, said he wanted to pursue other opportunities but agreed to stay on through a transition to a successor.

“I’ve always admired those few who know when it’s time to move on,” Westin wrote in a staff memo that was given to The Associated Press by a staffer. “This is the right time for me.”

Westin’s successor will be appointed soon, Disney-ABC Media Networks co-chairwoman Anne Sweeney said.

Westin, a corporate lawyer with little background in the news business, was regarded with suspicion by many at ABC when he took over in March 1997 from television legend Roone Arledge. But he stuck it out through some difficult moments, including the sudden cancer death of anchor Peter Jennings and the severe wounding of successor Bob Woodruff in an Iraq bombing.

ABC has remained a solid second in the ratings behind NBC News for its evening and morning newscasts, and “Nightline” made a strong transition from charter anchor Ted Koppel.

Within the past year, Westin has appointed Diane Sawyer to replace Charles Gibson as anchor of the signature “World News” broadcast, moved George Stephanopoulos from Washington to New York to co-host “Good Morning America” with Robin Roberts and hired Christiane Amanpour from CNN to lead the Sunday morning “This Week” political talk show.

His signature achievement may have been convincing Sawyer and Gibson to co-host “Good Morning America” a decade ago, saving the profitable morning show at a time it was in real trouble in the ratings.

Westin was praised for his guidance during the difficult period surrounding Jennings’ death. He tried to experiment with the anchor team of Woodruff and Elizabeth Vargas, but that lasted less than a month before Woodruff was seriously hurt. Gibson eventually took over the broadcast.

Westin’s most embarrassing moment came in 2000, when the network sent actor Leonardo DiCaprio, instead of a journalist, to interview President Bill Clinton about global warming. He was occasionally criticized for a deliberate decision-making style that left some of his broadcasts going through lengthy periods with substitute hosts.

He is a particular champion of Stephanopoulos, who has grown comfortable as a journalist when some questioned whether he could make the switch from politics. He also has promoted the investigative work of Brian Ross.

While Arledge built up a stable of stars at ABC News during a period of growth in the news industry, Westin had the opposite job, guiding a division at a time of retrenchment in the news business as the three big broadcast networks saw their roles change with the growth of cable news. NBC had a financial advantage with the affiliation of cable news networks CNBC and MSNBC, while ABC did not have a regular cable outlet.

“We went through a very difficult transformation made necessary by changes in our business and its economics,” Westin wrote.

Sweeney, in an ABC staff memo that also was given to the AP by an employee, said Westin was a “tireless advocate” for ABC News through “some of the most seismic industry, and divisional, changes imaginable.”

“While it will be sad to see David leave,” she wrote, “his desire to pursue other professional endeavors is understandable, and commendable.”

Baha’ism is a False Religion

Baha’ism is a False Religion

 

Baha’ism or Baha’i faith is proclaimed by a Persian Mizra Husayn ‘Ali from Nur ( 1817-1892) in 1863. Mizra Husayn’s surname is Baha’ullah meaning in Arabic the ‘glory of God’. His followers are called Baha’is after his name. There are about six millions in the world today and its centre is in Haifa in Israel. They have centers all over the world in 189 countries.

In the 1790s anew movement dissident from Shiism was founded by Ahmad-i-Ahsa’i in Persia. At the death of Ahsa’i in 1843 his disciples looked for the ‘chosen one’ (an erroneous concept designating the infallible successor of God on earth al-Mahdi who is awaited to guide the Muslims, innovated by the Shi ‘a sect- the term Shi ‘a refers to the followers of  ‘Ali, cousin of Muhammad who claimed the right for the first Caliphate in preference to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq following the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 AD).

Mizra Husayn, one of the disciples of al-Ahsa’i after forty days of worship and fasting (the stolen idea of forty days of fasting of Jesus Christ) arrived in Shiraz

In May 1844. He was called Mulla Husayn ( such a title is non-existent in Islam) He was surnamed the Bab in reference to ‘the gate’ to true religion and heaven ( nothing more presumptive: a post attributed to Christ ‘I am the Gate’ to the Kingdoms of Heaven).

At the age of 25 Mulla Husayn pretended to be the new manifestation of God the incarnated Mahdi of Muslims and that Muslims now they do not have to wait for the ‘elected mahdi’ long awaited by the false Shii‘a followers after the eleventh imam of Shii ‘a disappeared into a tube of concrete somewhere in Iran and the awaited twelfth imam Muhammad al-Mahdi shall reappear to fill the world with justice and guidance-no such person appeared since eight centuries gone now.

Al-Bab Husayn proclaimed himself the evident manifestation of God and is self-appointed prophet for world religion that advocates peace, justice, liberty and humanity. He wrote a book of his teachings and called it Kitab al-Aqdas ( the Book of the Sacreds) and preached in it his ideas. He sent examples to the Shah of Persia, the Tsar of Russia, Queen Victoria, Emperor of France Napoleon the Third, and Pope Pie IX.

He was captured, humiliated and sent to prison where he spent the last forty years of his life. Then exiled by the Turk who considered him a crazy man to Akka near Haifa where they were rulers of the region.

At the death of Bab Husayn his son ‘Abbas effendi ( 1844-1921) who assued the same function and pretended to be the second Bab. At the death of  ‘Abbas his son Shoghi Effendi Rabbání succeded him and declared himself the Bab to the truth.

Baha’ism annuls all religions and makes a collection of what the three major Religions prescribe. Baha’ism rejects Islamic Shari‘ah (Islamic Law and the Qur’an as well as the practice of Prophet Muhammd and his dictums) in its totality and replaces it by what the Bab Husayn prescribes for his followers in the Book of the Sacreds.

Al-Bab rejects the Holy religious texts not only of Islam but the Torah (the Law) the sacred book of Judaism and the Gospel (in its four virgins) the sacred book of Chistianity.

While claiming to monotheism Al-Bab Husayn substitutes all the sacred religious texts of the three divine religions by his own laws and his own philosophy. He reduced the five daily prayers in Islam to only three, he replaced fasting in Islam of the entire month Ramadan, and the forty days of Christianity ( following Jesus example in the desert before meeting the Devil), to 19 days only.

As if the three major monotheistic religions of the world today, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are not enough to constitute monotheistic beliefs, divine laws and divine outlook with precise worldview, an insignificant charlatan  Husayn ‘Ali proclaiming himself as prophet, annuls all these three major religions and proclaims himself as the manifestation of God on earth and delivers his own made laws to guide mankind to the truth.

He has indeed has succeeded to guide six millions of blinded hearted idiots and poor minded imbeciles to what truth is. He has guided them directly into Hell Fire.

Not only Shi’ism (Shi’ia, with all their multiple innovations sects on religion, represent about ten percent of the 1.4 billion Muslims today) is a false political deviation from orthodox Islam (the Sunnite Islam: about 1.3 billion) but further dissident innovations wherefrom are represented by false persons to religious belief looking for cheap and obnoxious personal glory.
