Is there a general purpose of human acts?

Is there one common end or objective of
human acts?

One thing is certain. We do not perform an act

in order to inflict pain upon ourselves. No one
consciously seeks misery or unhappiness
Every human act has happiness for a purpose
or objective. All men strive to be happy. The
over all purpose of human life is happiness. No
matter how diverse human acts are, such as
those of lazy person or an ambitious one
We may not agree as to what can make us
happy, but collectively, men act for sake of
happiness

Peter Hunermann and

Nicholas urges that
contemporary crisis in
thingking about God. He
suggests that we seek a
becoming modesty in our
claims to speak about God or
Supreme Being. A modesty
based on appreciation of
creaturely contingency.
He also write seeks to

A live existence comes such as

two surfaces of the coin
In one side we are to be on the best
service of the other, at the same
time we acknowledge ourselves as
being the best for other (this is the
basic identity of an alive existence).
The inner most root is we are (all
the living) to participate in an
unshared sharer.
In this way each religion realizes
itself rightly

in all our actions.
the indicate of positive bearing of
belief of God on the realization of
this ideal. For not only is an ideal,
the ideal itself can not be realized
without explicit attention being paid
to Him.
since the ideal embraces every
dimension of our lives, we shall try
to spell out some possible effects or
religious belief on.

The Nature of Religion

to come to the nature of religion and of the

religious rationality,
we come to describe first the two issues:
#what religion is about (that is, its
referent), and
#the source of knowledge (that is data)
through which we obtain that knowledge.
That say, while we do obtain religious
knowledge through the lived experiences
of human-being,

the reference of religion is

The Principle Being (called God)
recognized and experienced by human beings
both personally and communal.
Therefore it is to say first that the nature of
religion is not to describe about the essence of
the Principle Being, physically.
All the statements about the Principle Being
come up on the concrete experiences of human
beings.

R E L I G I O N or BELIEF

It is a kind of internalization of the

of actualization.
RELIGION, is a kind of cultural and/or
linguistic framework or medium that

belief in a higher power or

defined as the pattern of action

reinforces.

Religion or belief in is often

described
as a communal system for the
coherence of belief focusing on a system
of thought, unseen being, person, or
object, that is considered to be
supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the
highest truth.
As moral codes, practices, values,
institutions, tradition, rituals, and
scriptures are often traditionally
associated with the core belief.
as a "way of life" or a life stance.

Religiosity and Moral Behavior

The development of morality is a
process closely tied to the sociocultural
of humanity, however its roots are
probably to be found in our very nature.
Believe that, morality is a product of
sociocultural and humanity, forces
acting at an individual level and also at
the group level through group selection.
This actually contend that the set of
behaviors constitute morality evolved
largely because they provided possible
survival and/or reproductive benefits.

Many religions provide moral

guidelines for their followers. They
believe that the divine has instructed
them with a way to live, and that
following these "rules" will lead to
oneness with the divine.
The moral core which is assumed to be
innate in each individual, to those who
accept that differences between
individuals are more important than
posited Creators or their rules, and in
some religious systems and beliefs
assumed to be the basis of all
aesthetics and moral choice.

 In this respect:
morality is not absolute, but relative
and constitutes any set of behaviors
that encourage human cooperation
they modified their behaviors, by
restraining selfishness in order to
make group living worthwhile.
Human morality, though
sophisticated and complex relative
to other animals, is essentially a
natural phenomenon that evolved to
restrict excessive individualism and
foster human cooperation.

 Morality as "a suite of interrelated otherregarding behaviors that cultivate and

regulate complex interactions within social
groups."
This suite of behaviors includes empathy,
reciprocity, altruism, cooperation, and a sense
of fairness. In related work, it has been
convincingly demonstrated that chimpanzees
show empathy for each other in a wide variety
of contexts.
Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce (2009), define
and argued that morality is a suite of
behavioral capacities likely shared by all
mammals living in complex social groups. They
also possess the ability to engage in
deception, and a level of social of our own
tendencies for reputation management.

1. A study by Gregory S. Paul published in the

Journal of Religion and Society argues for a
positive correlation between the degree of
religiosity in a society.
2. Meanwhile, other studies seem to show
positive links in the relationship between
religiosity and moral behavior. Religious
behaviors and beliefs exert a moderate
deterrent effect on individuals criminal behavior.
3. Christopher Boehm (1982) has hypothesized
that the incremental development of moral
complexity was due to the increasing need to
avoid disputes and injuries.
4. Other theories are that increasing complexity
was simply a correlate of increasing group size
and brain size, and in particular the
development of abilities.

Kohlberg
Kohlberg questioned a group of man
about what would be a right or
wrong action for a man facing a
moral dilemma: 1. Should he steal a
drug to save his wife; or 2. Refrain
from theft even though that would
lead to his wife's death?
Kohlberg's concern was not which
choice the man made, but the moral
reasoning that lay behind their
decisions.

Sociologists and anthropologists tend

to see religion as an abstract set of
ideas, values, or experiences
developed as part of a cultural
matrix. In an example, in Lindbeck's
Nature of Doctrine, defines religion
as, "a kind of cultural and/or linguistic
framework or medium that shapes
the entirety of life and thought it is
similar to an idiom that makes
possible the description of realities,
the formulation of beliefs, and the
experiencing of inner attitudes and
feelings.

While theology attempts to

understand the intentions of
Supernatural force study such as
dieties, religious study tries to study
human religious behaviour and belief
from outside any particular religions
viewpoint.
The religious believer almost always
professes and lives out his belief as a
member of group of fellow believers
who worship together and who
support each other spiritually,
emotionally, and even materially
according to need.

Atheisme and Belief

Michael Buckly wrote that the question about
the existence of God is so profoudly and
pervasively human that it inescapably involves a
circle in which all of the human diciplines figure
and condition one another.
There is a depth at which human beings
confront the great issues of life that lies
beneath the formal separation of the sciences
from the humanities.
He also wrote that, there are the relationship
between belief and unbelief, the connection
between religion and science, inter-penetration
of theology and spirituality, and the nature and
value

Interfaith Cooperation
the religion continues to be
recognized as a universal impulse.
religious practicioner have aimed to
band together in interfaith dialogue
and cooperation in affirming
universal values and recognation
of the divercity of practices.
the 20th century has been
especially fruitful in us of interfaith
dialogue as means of solving ethnic,
political, or even religious conflict.

Science, Religion, and Future

Relationship of religion and science
Religious practitioner gained from religious
leaders sacred texts (scriptures), and/or
personal revelation.
Some religions view such knowledge as
unlimited in scope and suitable to answer any
question.
others see, religious knowledge as playing a
more restricted role, often as a complement to
knowledge gained through physical
observation. Some religious people maintain
that religious knowledge obtained in this way is
absolute and infallible (religious cosmology).

 Many scientists have held strong

religious beliefs and have worked to
harmonize science and religion. Isaac
Newton, for example, believed that
gravity caused the planets to revolve
about the Sun, and credited God with the
design.
In the concluding General Scholium to
the
Philosophie Naturalis Principia
Mathematica, he wrote: "This most
beautiful System of the Sun, Planets and
Comets, could only proceed from the
counsel and dominion of an intelligent
and powerful being."

There are no laws, plus initial

conditions, by which we can predict the
new millennium, but there are stories
that will be told.
Science deals with causes,
religion deals with meaning,
we can be sure that both causes and
meanings will be ingredients
perennially interwoven in the fabric of
history.

dramatically,
we write the next chapter of the story.
the question is, What kind of the story
should be for the future?
everything depends on how we join
science and religion in practice.
It is in this sense that the contemporary
science-religion points are both a quest for
harmony a quest for integration, for a
unified consistent understanding of human
nature in the light of the religiosity.
