A Century of Religious Evolution among Native Americans
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing how the issue of religion among Native Americans has come full circle in the past century. The federal government officially banned some tribes' most sacred religious rites - the potlatch of the Cree was subversive because it redistributed wealth among members - forbade the use of native languages and removed entire tribes from their ancestral lands. White missionaries were certain that the "savages" had to be civilized before they could be evangelized, and did not take the time to realize how similar native religion and Christianity were. Some groups are returning to the traditional ways; others are blending tradition with Christianity; still others persecute the Christians in their midst in retribution for the centuries of persecution at the hands of Christians.

Blood Sacrifice In The Judeo-Christian Religion
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Can a sin be forgiven? Should it be? Is it the guilt a sinner attempts to rid from himself, or is it a true sense of regret that drives him to seek out forgiveness? Inasmuch as sin is definitive and a proverbial slap in the face of God, how can it be forgiven? In response to mankind's sinning ways, atonement was required in order to escape the wrath of God and regain His favor. Repenting one's sins and abating His anger, which is tempered by love for His people, took its form in blood sacrifices; however, these offerings were not so strict as to require human blood, but rather He was appeased with the presentation of sacrificial animals who gave their life for Man's sinful ways.
