Founders of religions

Hinduism is a religion with such a profound history. This belief system originated so many years ago and to this day there are still many people practicing this faith. Almost all Indians, I believe, can trace back an ancestor who possibly followed this religion at some point, therefore it is essential for us to know a little more about this faith and gain a greater appreciation for it. By researching Hinduism, I believe my eyes have grown more for the beauty of this religion and I definitely…

Religion, according to sociologists, is a system of beliefs which are share on a basis of faith. Those who share the same religion also share a common way of life and behaviors connected through faith. However, one’s definition and practice of a particular religion can completely differ from another. In the documentary Jesus Camp, religion is taken to a different level from most of society’s standards. On the other side of the spectrum, the Christian children and mentors in the film believe…

Christianity by telling them that it was a better religion and how horrible it would be for them if they didn't convert. On page 48 in The Founder, Eliot tells the Indians about the terrors of hell and how they would go to hell if they didn’t convert to the Christian Religion. John Eliot also taught the Indians how to pray in their own language by creating a bible and a catechism written in the Indians language, Algonquin. On page 59 in The Founder, it says: “But somehow he found the time, the…

My understanding of religion has changed a great deal this semester. When we first started the semester I didn’t know the numerous numbers of religions in the world. The only religions I was aware of were Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Judaism. I did not know that Christianity had different dominations, especially not as many as I learned about. Coming into the class I expected to discuss the different religions of the world and the perspectives of the followers. In the class we…

A society has its own culture and religion is part of that culture in which people follow. Personally, in my family’s culture the religion that we follow is Catholicism. The force and power religion can have is scary in the part where people think that everything they are doing has to deal with the religion they practice. Religion can be a dangerous and disruptive force in a…

Religion has always been an inseparable part of our lives. This inseparable part has various meaning for various people. For some, people like nuns or priests, it is the meaning of life or even life itself. For some, it is some kind of rules to make our life steady and much better. For some, it does not even exist. It's just made up for controlling people. If we are going to speak as a general define or dictionary meaning we can say religion is a set of basic beliefs and practices that are…

beliefs and the practices. Religion has never been my strong topic, not because any specific preference but more so due to the constant battle for some belief and the fanatical followers who make it almost distasteful. From the captivity in Babylonia 587 – 520 BCE the religion of Judaism was founded 1300 BC, after the ruin of the second temple in 70 AD (the humanities culture, continuity & change pg281). It is said that Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions and was originated…
