In her blog, “God vs Philosophy” Lina Merizalde states that “Never have religion and philosophy worked well together,” which is a very valid opinion. Religion can be seen as being “blind” while philosophy as having eyes wide open.
The most important figure in all of the religions is a God. The God may vary in name and form but almost all of the time, no one has ever seen him or her. An opinion about a God can even vary from people that believe in the same faith. I am sure that my catholic God is different than from my sister´s image of God. And the good thing is that no of us is wrong. Since no one has seen him/her, no one knows how he looks like or even if he exists. Also all of the stories in the bible never happened. They are an illogical explanation of something. Instead philosophy is the other way around. I looked up pholishsophy and the definition was “the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.” (google.com)Both religion and philosophy try to explain these concepts and every thing that relates to them but one of the explanations makes more sense. Philosophy uses background information to state their theories, while religions such as Chathlic religion use random stories and faith.
