Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Monotheism and deism – belief that there is one God but differ in the understanding of that one God’s role with the universe and the human experience
-
I believe that the two worldviews that are the most similar are Christianity and Judaism. Both believe in the same God and both use the Old Testament as a religious text.
The two most dissimilar are Christianity and Nihilism. Christians believe in a higher authority and a set of moral truths while Nihilists believe that all traditional moral values are subjective to how one feels. -
Judaism and Christianity are the most similar.. both believe in a personal monotheistic God who desires reconciliation and both embrace the belief in a Savior/Messiah to save them from their sins and restore the world to Gods intended result.
The most dissimilar are Christianity and Nihilism. Nihilism, like its name it believes in nothing except self and is the closest to an Anti Christ spirit of anarchy. It is a hopeless worldview with no belief in purpose.
-
I believe Monotheism and deism are most closely related because they both believe in a supreme being/creator of the universe.
-
Monotheism and Deism are similar in that both believe in a single God.
Pantheism would be the extreme opposite of Monotheism. Pantheist believe that everything is God.
