Religious Quote: Joseph Ratzinger
A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society. Joseph Ratzinger
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia. Joseph Ratzinger Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards. Joseph Ratzinger The wrath of God is a way of saying that I have been living in a way that is contrary to the love that is God. Anyone who begins to live and grow away from God, who lives away from what is good, is turning his life toward wrath. Joseph Ratzinger To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God. Joseph Ratzinger The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son. Joseph Ratzinger We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.

Volleyball and It's Science Qualities
Volleyball. A great sport to play and also
very scientific. Hi! My name is Volleyball and I will be playing a volleyball
game while talking scientifically. If that makes any sense. Ok, to start off
with, volleyball requires a lot of force to make a hard spike or get a hard
serve over the net. Depending on what ball you use for what level you are
playing, (Elite, Midwest, Select, etc.) I may have a heavier mass. But, let’s
talk about my buddy old pals, the regular volleyballs. Right now they are
running into to nets and landing out of bounds. They’re not that accurate at
their aim. Anyways, Newton’s First Law, The Law of Inertia, states that An
object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An
object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same
direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. So, I could take a nap when
someone has me resting in their hands, until they throw me up into the air,
ready to give me a whopping red mark on my face. Then, when I am hit, I stay in
motion or in the air until someone messes up and hits the net or swings way out
of bounds and restart the whole process again. I get very sore after the day is
done.
Continuing on, what’s nice about me is that I
am very light. I don’t contain a lot of mass so it is very easy to hit me
through the air. Since I am very light, the unbalanced forces that bump, pass
and spike me, send me through the air to the other side of the net. Speaking of
which, in Newton’s Second Law, it states that an object with more mass requires
more force than an object with a lighter mass. Obviously I am very light, so
when I am passed to the setter and the setter passes me, setting to the hitter
for the kill, I accelerate on the spike because I am speeding up from the force
of the hitter. Acceleration is big in volleyball, mostly because of the spike.
Even though it hurts me, I manage through it but acceleration is speeding up,
slowing down or changing direction. I change direction from everything, the
serve, pass, set and hit. I accelerate at the serve and the hit because I am
speeding up.
Are you interested yet? Fine, well it will
get better, but I’m a volleyball and who doesn’t like volleyballs? Anyways,
let’s move on. Which, by the way, brings me to Newton’s Third Law! See, you’re
catching on fast! Anyway, Newton’s Third Law states that for every action,
there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, when someone spikes me,
the reaction force is pushing or forcing me to the ground and the action force
is to push me to the ground with the powerful force of the hitter’s hand. I
also can have a lot of velocity depending on how hard I am hit. Velocity is the
speed of something in a given direction. When I get a big red mark on my face,
in other words, being spiked, I have a lot of velocity because the force from
the hit makes me go faster and I go in a specific direction, wherever the
hitter hits me to. It is very similar to speed because speed is basically the
distance I go divided by the time or how long it took me to get to my
destination. Well, I have to go because I am needed to play in the championship
game. I got to go so I hope that you learned a lot about the game of volleyball
and how much science is contained within the sport and even all around you. “Come
on Volleyball! We need you now!” says the ref. “I’m coming! Chill” Ok I have to
go because the ref is getting mad. Wish me luck!
