Creative Mode: In this mode you are able to fly, destroy any block instantly, have access to an inventory in which you can get any item or block you want without having to mine it and you can't die. This mode is good for people that are new in Minecraft, to test things or just to build gigant things.

Survival Mode: In this mode you have to survive, you have a health bar that decreases when you take damage (fall damage, mob damage, explosion damage, etc), if this bar gets empty, you die. You have a hunger bar too, you have to keep it full by eating in order to restore your health, if this bar gets empty, you'll start to get starvation damage. You need to mine blocks or craft them in order to get them. At night, monsters spawn.

There are a lot of blocks and items so you'll never get bored, there are a lot of possibilities of things to build.

Religion



We think that religion is for people that can't belive in themselves, they need to think that there is some kind of superior force that decides everything that happened, happens, and will happen to them. They pray to it in order to get miracles, things that are very unlikely to happen.
 As an institution, the catholic church, specifically, they always want to make money, even though they have a lot. The priest usually are people that only look for themselves, they don't care about their followers. It is known that there a lot of priests and clerics that do things that their religion told them not to do, like being involved in sexual abuses.
 In 1962, the pope John XXIII, signed a document that says that any victim of sexual abuses should keep the information hidden and not tell anybody, if not, they could be excommunicated (ejected from the institution).


Their sacred book, the bible, has a lot of machism in it, for example:

Genesis 3:16: "To  the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
