How Much Should Religion Adapt to Circumstance?



Religion has and always will retain a significant place in contemporary culture, as various bodies of faith foster a philosophy of living for their followers. This involves the worship of specific religious icons and different perceptions of literature, which are combined to create an overall belief system and core personal values. These are important, as they govern how an individual lives their life and the moral code of conduct that they choose to adhere to, giving their existence a clear direction that is orientated by faith and cultivated belief.

However, various religions have witnessed significant changes to their ethos and attitudes in recent times, either through an adaptation to social circumstance or the development of extremist factors. While several of these changes are welcomed by many as hugely beneficial, there is a growing concern that they are rendering the religion that they represent increasingly irrelevant.

The Nature of Religious Belief

Catholicism is an excellent example of a religion that has struggled in the contemporary age, and in time being forced to address their values and attitudes to life. If we consider the concept of abortion, which was widely condemned in the faith for generations, then we see that conditions are now being applied by the religion in an attempt to accept it as a part of liberal existence.This is also reflected in the faiths relaxed and less stringent attitudes towards marriage, with an increasing number of churches across the world marrying couples of opposing faiths, or even those who neglect the accepted practices of courtship and non marital unions. This is considered as far more tolerant and accepting of an increasing diversity of cultures, and perhaps even necessary to sustain a religious following.

Supporting an individuals rights to choice and freedom is welcome, as is the faiths willingness to modify its values to suit its contemporary followers. Supporters will simply opine that this is necessary in ensuring that religion remains relevant within an evolving society, but there are more dissenting voices who suggest that too much change could render specific faiths meaningless amongst their existing followers.

Faith as a Serious Consideration

The reason for this is that faith and religion are derived from ancient literature and narrative, which has been interpreted in a particular way and used to cultivate values. These inherent principles govern an ethos of life, and are often followed strictly by followers who seek to exist in the ways and image of their God. As these evolve or change completely, the peripheries are blurred and an individual religion becomes alien to the many who practice it.Several things could happen in this instance. Firstly, and most importantly, those well versed in a faith who preach and follow its values may well become unsure in their beliefs, and find themselves being cut adrift of the religion that they recognize. Should this be the case, religions may actually lose traditional and inflexible followers from their number, and negate the positive influence they have on a more contemporary generation.

Secondary to this, religion itself loses credibility amongst followers and sceptics alike, as it becomes increasingly malleable to the machinations of social cause. Faith and belief systems are already struggling to maintain their relevance in the technological and digital age, and should they begin to question their own values and specific beliefs then they are unlikely to encourage new members into their fold.

Religion Still Important to Society

While all of this is said, religion still holds a significant place in modern culture, especially in economically poor areas without key advancement in science and medical research. This means that it is imperative that its value is maintained for those who wish to follow a specific faith, as it serves a crucial purpose in maintaining wholesome living and anticipation for a future of possibilities. 

However, it is only natural that religion should come under increasing social pressure to adapt and change with the times, perhaps by taking advantage of enhanced knowledge and progression in order to appeal to a more logical demographic. Despite the benefits this offers to multiculturalism and diversity, faiths must remain cautious and not completely betray the courage of their convictions, as this may well lead to them becoming impotent in terms of influencing future generations.

Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users.

We have skirted the taxes, we have empowered ourselves by stepping on others heads. We have become a very greedy, prideful nation no longer having pride or respect for the founders and suffering that brought us this freedom.

  16. Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  20. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  21. I’m just impressed!! Genuinely beneficial post in this article my best mate. I simply want to remark & point out keep up the quality work. I added your site just now and I’m going to be back you just read a lot more later on my friend! In addition fine hues about the format, this is uncomplicated around the eye balls.

  22. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  23. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  27. Hey! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!

  28. Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  29. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Outstanding work!

  30. Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you

  31. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  32. Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Appreciate it

  33. Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!

  34. This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  35. Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my facebook group? There’s a lot of people that I think would really enjoy your content. Please let me know. Thank you

  36. Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!

  37. Is there some other ways to get in touch to the blog with no following on the RSS? I can’t understand the reason but I can’t get the RSS packed with the viewer even though I can see this via the IE.

  38. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  39. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  40. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  41. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
