apparently simple statements that Aquinas makes. As the works
are further discovered and discussed there are many issues
which are more thoroughly detailed which brings the reader into

points made by Aquinas. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Eternity : A 5 page paper discussing the relevancy
of time and
eternity in relationship to a supreme being, or God. The issues
discussed are essentially based on the essay titled Timeless
Eternity by Brain Davies. The theories discussed address the
essential quality of time which is a highly opinionated reality. If
time is nothing more than an illusion then God does not exist in
any form within such confines as a time frame. The theories
addressed within Davies essay are all essentially confining the
divine essence and the subject of eternity within human ideas
which address the reality of time. No additional sources cited.

Problems of Religion : A 9 page paper discussing
the views of
Karl Marx, Frederick Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud regarding
the role of religion in the lives of individuals and assessing the
success of each in dismissing its perceived worth. Marx
forbade it; Nietzsche ridiculed it as outside the realm of reality
for the true thinker; Freud accused it of burdening the human
race with the guilt with which we all, according to him,
struggle. While each of these philosophers believed themselves
to be quite successful in making religion disappear for their own
purposes, neither could continually keep it at bay. Bibliography
