Religion 120 has taught me something more than just the meaning of religion. I would argue that I will be taking away more knowledge from this class than any other class I have taken so far in my college career. The learning path Professor Robert takes has benefited me throughout the semester. The learning path I took persuaded me to open my mind and absorb and understand the ideas of other individuals. After I opened my mind up and read all of the content we were assigned in class, along with listened to my classmates and professor Robert’s take on religion, I was able to picture religion as something other than just the physical place of worship and discussions taken place there.

Religion has the potential to help guide you in life, along with giving you a sense of meaning in this big world. Religion has the power to help you connect with individuals like yourself,

One of the most striking was my grandfather’s temple in the small town of Mahoba where my father grew up. I spent a great deal of my childhood here, thus the pastel pink walls, intricate flower designs, and open layout immediately sparked flashbacks. I remembered the lenghas, traditional dresses, I would pick out to wear even though they were much more formal than the usual attire.

I remembered seeing my Dada, grandfather, leading the poojas, religious services, and feeling proud seeing how respected and genuine he was.

The first time I heard the word “Zoroastrianisam” it was a few months back when someone on Facebook was talking about Gal Gadot, the actress that plays wonder woman and saying that she is Zoroastrian, like it was a bad thing. Then, I found a chapter in my text book pertaining to Zoroastrianisam and I was excited to read the chapter, just to see what they are talking about. I asked myself, why would this be a bad thing if someone is Zoroastrian? I learned that this is probably the oldest monotheistic religion on the world and most importantly, the base for 3 major religions. Judaism,

Certain physical locations take on important meanings in the world’s religions. Religions consider various geographic elements such as different cities, regions, mountains, and rivers to be sacred. For example, Hindus travel to the Ganges River to cleanse themselves from their sins (Momen 157). One of the requirements of all Muslims is that they make a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca (Eastman 398). Judeo-Christian religions also have certain places that are held sacred to their followers. The concept of sacred space is important to Judeo-Christian religions, because it helps to explain the questions of existence. Sacred space provides something tangible to represent

This reminded me of my own religion because I saw familiar images among other religious artifacts. In the center was a vast figure accompanied by angels and on the sides were several showcases against the wall. Subsequently, there was a hall packed with antique safes, desks, radios, clothing, a huge camera and newspapers.

The train was immensely fascinating knowing how they constructed around it and the huge cases of luggage.Therefore, I can consider the train station my favorite and most enjoyable

My religion is Methodist. My religion is very important in my daily life because I believe in God and knows that God can only resolve any of my problems that occur in my daily life.

I really love this midterm project since it pushes me to experience different religions and participate in many valuable activities. I really learned many things from this class, but I think the theoretically knowledge cannot leave me a deep impression. This project gives me an opportunity to put everything into practice. More importantly, by experiencing three world religions---Christianity, Buddhism, and Catholicism, I realized the differences and similarities among them. This makes me understand how are those religions related. I think this is an important task in this class.

One of my most eye opening places I traveled to was the Hindu Temple of Atlanta. When I visited the Hindu temple, I was intimidated by the fact that the people there would not welcome a stranger just there for pictures.
