Religious Experience
[ send me this essay ]
The challenge in defining the religious experience is in placing the role of a Supreme Personal Being. Traditional religions continue to meet the needs of a majority of the population, while the alternative views have gained credence over time. The existence of a supreme being, or 'God' is essential to the moral and ethical belief systems found most commonly. This 5 page paper argues that religious experience can also be defined outside the bounds of a Supreme Personal Being. Ann Besant, a seventeenth century philosopher sets an example for the realization of a strong religious experience that grows out of a belief in a Supreme Being into a religious experience based on secular humanism. The philosophers Kant and Kierkegard also addressed the issue of a belief, and, or, experience with a Supreme Being as non-essential to deep religious conviction. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
