Theorists
As we discussed each theorist in class I listened and evaluated them in my head with my own personal values and beliefs. On the first day I came to the conclusion that I agreed more with Durkheim. After we broke each theorist down into parts I finally could understand what the readings meant. But after the first day of discussing Frazer and Durkheim I formed my opinions. I decided that Durkheim was the closes to my definition of religion. I like how he has a fixed system and how the taboos are reasonable. Some people might not like how its such a fixed system but I think it is just good self discipline. I believe that religion shouldn’t be easy but something you can always be working on to improve. On the other hand my least favorite theorist is Freud. I think Freud is so black and white and is just sick in the head. I don’t understand how one person can seriously be that messed up in the head. I think he was just embarrassed of what he did and tried to cover it up.
