What was Jamestown religious beliefs?

I believe that Jamestown's beliefs were mixed. Some came for religious freedom and served the Lord with all their might. Others for adventure and just came 'along for the ride' and didn't really trust God. Still others might have come for gold and were so greedy they just kind of pushed God away. That's what I think. i think they were all christians


What is the religion of the Barjubi Community of Assam?

Not easy to say bcuz india has so many ppl and religions practiced throughout. Assam is mostly Hindu, with Islam being the second largest religious community. Since that's true of India as a whole, and also Assam, the Barjubi community probably follows suit. It was colonized by Britain, so Christianity was surely pushed, but the region borders what r now Islamic countries and territories. Since ur asking bcuz the info isn't readily available, its hard to say with certainty... but the trend goes, Hindus, Muslims, Christains, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jainists... also, in most places there r religious minorities, so its unlikely the entire community practices one sole religion.

If god created heaven earth and all things where did the void and darkness come from?

the void and darkness is the contrast, which is pushed aside by the creational energies of god, it is immature spiritually to assume that god 'created' all we see. it still exists and has to be maintained, so it is still in a state of creation. The truth is many cannot see the darkness as anything other than objectified evil/death/hate but in truth the void is just the part of our minds that hosts those feelings. Suffering is a perception, just as it is a law of nature.


What is marginalised?

Marginalisation is when a person is pushed to the edge of society. This is a potential effect of discrimination because a person is made to stand out and made to be different from everyone else and they can therefore feel like they are all alone and marginalized from the rest of society or in the case of a health and social care sector, other service users. When a person is marginalized they are made to feel like they are different and not in a good way. For example a lower class citizen being admitted to a private care trust because there is no room elsewhere and being surrounded by all upper class service users. They may then be treated differently because of that i.e. discriminated against and they may begin to feel pushed out alone because of whom they are and where they are. This is a clear example of Marginalisation. === ===

In contrast, Southerners vehemently defended slavery as a cornerstone of their agrarian economy and way of life, often viewing abolitionists as a direct threat to their social order and economic stability.
