“‘You need to come to church with your family. I don’t care what you say,’ my mom told us every Sunday. In the Catholic Church, they never explained it to children. It was all about, you can sin and do whatever you want during the week, but then on Sundays you would come and repent. All we learned was the same things,” Jason said this matter-of-factly while sitting on the couch at his friend’s Tony house in the middle of the Colts vs. Jets game. He goes on to explain that, “I wore a shirt and…

Chantie Parrilla T. Angle DRA 211-1901 29 February 2016 Influence of Church and Theatre in Medieval Times: An exploration of Theatrical Elements from Religious to Farce After the fall of the Roman empire, culture and festivities involving theatre and theatrical elements all but disappeared. This time, known as the “Dark Ages” saw a rise in the Christian dominated church, seeing as the church was the only stable government in a turbulent period. While European countries floundered to establish…

piousness, where in true Crazy Ava style, she went out like a bang; tipping the Jack Daniels bottle just enough, to get a few good swigs of lascivious impropriety; and cursing her own children for writing her off, right before she declared herself a Mormon. When she finally resigned herself to a puritanical existence, she pursed her lips, tilted her chin and sneered at every kindhearted, sappy soul that crossed her…

the laws that our government creates that could influence the organization, but the organizations needs don’t directly affect how the government makes laws. An example McClay mentioned is the many religious communities such as the “Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Sikhs, and so on.” (McClay 208). Even more informal establishments that McClay had mentioned such organizations include those of the Christian faith, specifically the Catholics. As the Anabaptist faith in McClay’s…

Reevaluated in order to protect individual rights neglected in the Constitution, it is composed of the first ten amendments, the first of which establishes religious freedom. The first amendment states then, that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This means that American citizens hold the right to practice any religious belief and rituals.

clearly prohibits the action of going against monogamous relationships. “ no Biblical passages explicitly prohibit plural marriage. Indeed, leaders of breakaway Christian polygamous sects, like 16th-century German Anabaptists and 19th-century American Mormons, have always been eager to point out that several central Old Testament figures are polygynists.

believe that your body is a temple and one should not consume caffeinated drinks. While Catholics agree that your body is a temple and should be respected but they do not apply these rules regarding caffeine etc. Does this make Catholics evil to Mormons? It’s all relative. My personal belief regarding evil in the world is more in committing sin and turning away from God. Since the beginning of our creation we are born with sin. Sin to me is the choice to accept wrong doing and turning away…

A famous French Renaissance writer by the name of Michel de Montaigne, once said, “To forbid us anything is to make us have a mind for it”. What Montaigne meant by this statement is that whenever you censor something you only awaken those with a curiosity. Ray Bradbury the famous writer of Fahrenheit 451, was often asked to alter his work. Not being able to express himself, Bradbury often felt fearful for the future and the American government’s emphasis on equality for everyone. Bradbury’s…
