History

Answer: John Locke's idea of the social contract

Explanation:

Assuming this is the excerpt: <em>"...to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government."</em>

John Locke's idea of the Social Contract was based on the notion that all people are equal and only form Governments by social contract amongst themselves because they want to protect the inalienable rights they already had as free peoples.

When a Government that was formed is now unable to do so, the people have to right to break that social contract and abolish the Government so that they might make another that will serve the purpose for which it is installed.

Discursive essay freedom of religion is abused by some churches
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Freedom of religion is abused by some churches

There is a famous maxim: ‘the nearer the church, the farther from God’. This maxim aptly describes the state of most of the churches across the globe.

The churches impose outdated, parochial, orthodox limitations on religion, seekers of truth. The most absurd aspect of these limitations is distortion of the word of God given by enlightened Messiahs, Prophets, Gurus, and Messengers of God. The churches force people to pay more attention to rituals and services than on GOD. Seeking God with all one’s heart, mind, and body is less important than religious ceremonies, hollow prayer services. Most of the religious formalities conducted are devoid of sincere devotion, love, and reverence to God.  

Hence, in spite of so many churches across the globe, there is no real God in them – only formalities. All the Messengers of God praised and worshipped God; but churches praise Messengers only. No Messenger of God intended to be worshipped and be the seekers’ ultimate goal. They intended the seekers to consecrate themselves to God realization. They gave the message of universal brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God. They instructed mankind to see God in all and all in God. But churches have their own doctrines to promote. As a result there are certain clashes among people following different churches.  

Churches should spread the divine messages of divine Masters and Messengers of God without any fanaticism. They should give unrestricted freedom to seekers and God should be the only priority. Only then churches all across will fulfill their purposes.
