Monotheism would be Jesus, Deism would be Thomas Jefferson, naturalism would be Discovery channel, pantheism would be the television show Supernatural, Dovdesky for existentialism and nihilism would be the Big Lebowski.
-
Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Monotheism and Deism
-
Most alike – Naturalism and existentialism. Both schools of thought stress the idea of no intelligent creator.
Most different – Pantheism and Existentialism, God is everything and there is no God
-
I would say that Judaism and Christianity are the most similar because at the outset they both believe in God the Father and both except the first five books of the Bible the same.
-
Diesm and monotheism are alike in that they both believe in the existence of God as creator.
Nihilists bow to nothing obey nothing and monotheists bow and obey God. These are most dissimilar.
-
I believe that Nihilism and Existentialism have the most in common. Both of these worldviews hold to the idea that “life is what you make of it”. Personal choice creates significance and determines true “meaning”. Monotheism and Pantheism are the most dissimilar. While monotheism believes strictly in one God, pantheists believe in multiple gods. Monotheism believes that God is everywhere but separate from His creation and pantheism believes that everything that exists is god.
