Religion Reflection Paper

During the course of this class, I have learned a lot about different religions. I still have an unprejudiced view of religion. However, I did not suspend my belief to have an understanding of religion. I have been able to learn of other religious beliefs without feeling threatened of my own. I found there are many different practices in other religions, some I agree with and some I do not agree with. I have come to except others, ways of worship without getting upset. I have become humble

When asked the question on my definition of religion, I decided to look at it in a way that goes beyond just my religion. Religion goes much deeper than being something that we just believe in, it is a relationship or a part of a person’s culture. My purpose of religion is something for me to try and understand what my goal in life is, as well as building a relationship with a higher being. Religion gives people that higher being that they can look to for guidance and comfort. I feel that you can

Caleb Curry Professor Peterson Religion 23 September 2017 Religion #5 I believe that God is just in all of his ways. I also believe that he is an all-powerful god. So why do innocent people suffer? I believe that God wouldn’t cause his true children to suffer. From the outside looking in, when people go through challenges and hard times, it may look like “suffering” and frankly it may feel like it, but I have often discovered that God is trying to teach us something through the various trials that

This concept is an important concept for a christian to know. People can believe in God but also walk into paths that are directly against what God actually wants for you. There are a lot of people in the world that have that in their life. That shouldn’t be the way christians actually live their life. God intended for his people to be connected with Him through the spirit realm. The difference between the two is that being saved is believing in God but still having an absence of a relationship with

At a very young age, I never understood the concept of religion. Every Sunday, I would go to a Polish mass, go through the motions of the church, and not understand any word that came out of the priest’s mouth. My family and I will go through the same cycle year after year, and after all this time I still don’t know anything- except a couple words in Polish. I would go to school and hear other students talk about their religion and hear how much they understood things, and see how much they believed

Provided that my family had their belief, I was equally assigned to learn about their belief system. Previously, the basic belief my parents had taught me was that I needed to do things right, be good, and obey/respect them. I really didn’t know about religion. At Ecuador, the reconnection I had with my family also introduced me to their belief system. One day my family and I went to my uncle's house, I had no idea of what we were doing there, but my cousin told me to but on a dress. My uncle’s house got

Religion is practiced worldwide in many different forms. My family and I have been through a religious journey throughout my lifetime. When I was younger, I would attend a Mennonite church with my grandmother and my parents would come mostly for holidays. They were not very much of the church going type until I was older. My dad did not see it was important for us to attend church until his parents returned home from missionary work in Guadalajara, Mexico when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer

observe and analyze a religious practice, I was vividly reminded of myself as a kid being dragged to a religious practice I did not want to attend. However, in an effort to get a good grade in my class and get a better understand the Jehovah’s witness religion and its practices I conducted an in-depth Fieldwork by attending two religious ceremonies. The first time was to observe and get a feel for what I was getting myself into, and the second time was to take detailed notes on the events happening during

him you just must believe. God is present and he is involved in the natural universe. It’s a proven fact that most of the world religions try to expand their view for their culture so the universe could understand their viewpoint. Different religions see the universe depending on your culture you see who is your ruler, belief varies according to our viewpoint of religion education. Evolution refers to the origin of the universe about how God created the world in six days, Christian beliefs contain

but she loves it. Veronica still tries to keep in touch with her old pastor but she can tell he is still hurt she left their church. She loves bible study on Wednesday evenings and those meetings are with women only. She is also studying other religions to understand them. Currently, she is studying Judaism and Jehovah’s Witnesses. We started discussing what being a Christian means to her and she basically said it’s a lifestyle choice. She doesn’t have a television at home and she will spend
