Christianity & Vampires
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper investigating whether there is any connection between vampirism and Christianity. Vampire census-takers have identified several hundred individuals around the world who claim to be physical (but not spiritual) vampires. That there is paranormal activity in the world there is no doubt. God has promised it, and the Bible describes some of it. But even with all the evidence of the paranormal and of the occult, plus the Bible's confirmation that it will indeed occur, there is no evidence that any comparison between vampirism and Christianity needs even to be made. The idea of the 'living dead' is inconsistent with the most basic teachings of the Bible, and there are far more other, real occurrences of the paranormal that are not. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

A Comparison of the Religious Sentiments Found in Akhenaten’s “Hymn to the Sun” and “Psalm 104” of the Hebrew Bible
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper comparing the religious sentiments found in the “Hymn to the Sun” and “Psalm 104”. The Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten (c. 1370 BC) is believed to have greatly changed the religious worship of the Egyptians. In his hymn to the Sun god, “Hymn to the Sun” or “Hymn to Aten”, Akhenaten wrote of the worship of one God, not many, his creation of the universe, the world, darkness and light, the elements of nature and man’s place on earth. This hymn and its religious sentiment was said to have influenced the early Hebrew writings which can be seen in Psalm 104 in the Hebrew Bible. Moses, similar to Akhenaten, prohibited the worship of images by the Hebrews and instead concentrated on the praise of the one God, Yahweh. Psalm 104, using similar language and sentiment, also outlines the one God which created the universe, the world, darkness and light, all the natural elements and man’s place on earth. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
