Abstract

Permainan dan agama seringkali dianggap dua bidang yang tidak saling terkait satu sama lain. Yang satu dikategorikan sebagai bidang sekuler dan yang satu dipandang sebagai sesuatu yang sakral. Mempertemukan dan menggabungkan dua hal ini bisa menimbulkan berbagai macam reaksi dan sering dianggap kontroversial. Inilah proyek yang diusung video game “Fight of Gods” yang menampilkan berbagai macam tokoh agama dan dewa-dewi dari berbagai macam sistem kepercayaan dengan jurus-jurus yang khas. Tokoh-tokoh sakral seperti Yesus, Buddha, dan Musa akan dipertarungkan satu sama lain di dalam game fighting ini. Beberapa negara seperti Malaysia, Singapore, dan Indonesia dengan segera mendeklarasikan bahwa video game tersebut adalah suatu penghujatan dan langsung menutup akses sehingga game tersebut tidak dapat diunduh dan dimainkan. Namun apakah memang benar bahwa permainan FoG ini telah menghujat dan atau menistakan agama dan kepercayaan? Berdasarkan analisis konsep penghujatan secara historis serta analisis agama didalam kerangka Frank Bosman, permainan FoG belum dapat dikategorikan sebagai penghujatan. Namun, produk seni yang kreatif ini sudah termasuk bentuk desakralisasi agama.

Abstract

There are only three major competing theories regarding life after death. Atheism holds the theory that life ends at one’s death. Another theory is the reincarnation view held by most people on this planet. Rebirth is often grouped as part of the reincarnation view. The last theory, held by Judeo-Christian and Islam religions, is the resurrection, often called the heaven and hell view. Proponents of each theory attack other theories, and debates have become common in social media, often confusing students. There is a significant need for Christian educators to equip themselves before preparing students to learn comparative religions. Teachers must be well-versed in answering objections to the Christian faith. This paper helps teachers under­stand the reincarnation theory, emphasizing the rebirth view and showing why the theory is attractive. It then gives philosophical res­ponses based on the Christian worldview. The paper concludes with two short pieces of advice for Christian educators.

Abstract

A growing number of Indonesian young people, both on campuses and social media, are identifying as agnostics. However, many do so without fully understanding what agnosticism means, often seeing it as an anti-mainstream alternative to atheism. This trend presents a challenge for educators, particularly in Christian schools and universities, who must engage with these students effectively. In the Indonesian context, this issue is further complicated by Pancasila, which upholds belief in God as national ideology. This essay uses recent literature to introduce the basic tenets of agnosticism, identify types of agnosticism, and offer educators practical strategies – from theology, philosophy, and psychology – to foster deeper understanding of this issue in schools.

Abstract

Transgender communities perceive Christians as oppressive, intolerant, and obsolete, especially when the latter condemns them. Transgender, loosely defined, is a person who feels that [her] gender identity does not conform to [her] sex assigned at birth. This experience can also be called gender identity disorder (GID). Few transgenders decide to go as far as undergoing sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy. This paper seeks to explore the concepts of transgender identity by offering comparison to the concepts of transability. Transability, loosely defined, is a person who feels that her disabled identity does not conform to her able-physical body. This can also be called Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID). A transabled person, for example, feels that she is a limp—having limp identity—despite having normally healthy legs. Few transabled individuals decide to go as far as undergoing amputation. This paper, incorporating theological perspective on the sanctity of human body and philosophical considerations of bodily integrity, invites us to come up with a consistent ethical stance that either acknowledges both (GID and BIID) as expressions of diversity or rejects both (GID and BIID) as forms of disorder.
