Faith, Justice and God in My Life as a Student

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how college is a time where individuals often question the religious faith they have been brought up in as a child and how for the author, religious faith as a student has only deepened his academic learning in breadth and depth. It examines how his
need for faith comes with a corresponding requirement to seek a more reasoned understanding of God and to work to create a world that corresponds with the divine ideal of justice. It looks at his interpretation of truest evidence of God the constant waxing and waning of the world, the change and flux of human life and the ever-present need of humans to change and grow as individuals.

From the Paper:

"When confronted with a lack of compassion the world, such as the evils of homelessness, intolerance, or cruelty to children, it is even easier to see proof of the nonexistence of God than in the sight of ugliness or the sensation of personal grief. However, merely because God's hand is not felt or immediately perceived, this does not mean that He has deserted the world or His responsibilities to it. Rather God's apparent absence is a call to human free will to step in and to act to remedy the darkness in the world where God's absence can be most palpably felt. God has taken responsibility for the world through His constant presence in the world, in the form of perceivable good."
