Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Monotheism and pantheism are most dissimilar. Despite their similar suffixes, they are completely opposite. Since polytheism believe that everything is God, this directly contradicts what monotheism teaches in that there is one God, creator of all things.
Nihilism and existentialism are most similar. They both believe life is essentially meaningless.
-
Existentialism and nihilism are very much alike but I think they have different levels of apathy. Monotheism and pantheism are the least similar as they have completely different ideas.
-
Nihilism-Existentialism = most alike
Monotheism – Nihilism = Most dissimilar Objective truth and positive values are to be questioned – scripture says the Truth sets us free and that all Truth is God’s Truth
-
Most alike, monotheism and deism point to an all powerful creator
