Viewing God Through the Lens of Self-Discovery

Understanding the religious atmosphere of American young people is a very valuable sociological tool. In addition to foreseeing the future, there is also the opportunity to be a measure of the effectiveness of child rearing. Studying adolescent religious beliefs reveals how young people can express their beliefs, which can reveal the power of their values. Most American teenagers are some form of Christian or no believer at all (Smith and Denton Kindle Location 699).

In this respect, many people in the world are bound by God's normative views and relationships between humans and God. Through that lens we are all considered a child of God. After becoming Catholic, after nine years of Catholic school, I got some comfort on the concept of God as image of my father. After all, with Catholic faith, Nice beliefs began to "believe in God, Almighty Father." But with this dynamic relationship, we are always children, their destiny depends on higher existence and finally sees them as a mature independent person who is responsible for their own destiny It is made. . We must understand that we are the true creator of our lives. My leader told me to require me to need to look at God as our equality, not as our father.

Each ideology has a central lens through which you can observe the world. This lens is used to filter and refract reality. Events and things are focused through this lens and form an image of the meaning. Social conservatives are looking at the world through religious perspectives, in particular Christianity, Jews, and Christian ethics. When seeing the United States, social conservatives are based on religious beliefs and consider the country deeply rooted in religious tradition. They talked about their father's faith. The Constitution is regarded as a gift from God and even the Declaration of Independence is interpreted as a religious document. In this view, the US is in favor of God's plan. As Phyllis Schlafly commented, "The atomic bomb is a wonderful gift given to our country by a wise god."
