Family and Religion Essay

Religion has a great impact and deeply defines a person. This is regardless of whether the individual admits it and accepts it as a religious belief.

It is very difficult to define who and what a person defines to be a religion and to…

Melissa, is a single 32-year-old non-denominational Christian. She attends a small Christian church in her rural town. Recently she has been under pressure for not being married, as being married and raising a family are something she wants, and strongly emphasized in her culture and religion. She has been wondering why “God has waited so long to bring a partner into her life, why He has not answered her prayers.” Although she lives in a small town and attends a small church, there are many…

There are many religions in the world, each with their own traditions, beliefs, and rituals which often contradict each other. Growing up in household in which both parents come from different regions and have different religions, has affected my outlook on religions as a whole.

Religion has always been an institution that humans use to cope with the unknown. In my life I see religion as god being in a billion boxes, but no one can open any of the boxes. Billions of humans try to open these boxes but none have been successful so far. I think religion is unnecessary in the modern world. Religion provides hope for a better future to the average believer; however, in my eyes I see religion growing into a form of discrimination. Not discrimination of race, age or looks but…

Regarding her religion, I already knew a lot about Judaism before I enrolled in this course so the interview itself didn’t teach me a lot about the religion.

allows one to question whether or not race and religion matter when considering a potential spouse. Although this is debatable, race and religion should not matter because of the wide acceptance of interracial marriage in today's society and the ability people have to change their religion.
