Intro to Religion

Filed under: Uncategorized — Taylor at 5:40 am on Friday, October 21, 2011

I am so incredibly excited to be learning about non-western religions! It’s all new to me and fascinating! All of the differences between our religion and non-western religions, but also there similarities. The similarities I didn’t really expect. Although I am excited about all this newness, it’s still a little bit hard for me to process all of it. A lot of the readings and information goes over my head. I suppose it is probably hard to wrap my head around everything because it’s not what I’m used to. I like learning about all the different religions though because the way that non-western religions do things is so interesting. There are so many parts to all of them. So I can’t wait to keep learning about all of these new things.

I feel the same way about learning this new material. A lot of stuff is so different though that it is hard for me to comprehend right away. I feel as though this chapter will be harder to understand all the material. Overall, it is fun and interesting to learn about these religions. I like how in class we did that project on how to connect all the information that we have been taught. For this chapter I hope to be doing that more so when it comes to the final it will be easy for me to use examples.

This new stuff is a little confusing at times. I agree that it is probably because it is not what we are used to. We are used the Western ways. Our minds have been too narrow to understand all this new info. right away, but I think that we are now starting to get it. I think it is going to be interesting to here all of the presentations to see how well they relate to the Eastern religions. It may be tough and kinda boring, but I’m sure it will be interesting. We’ll see I guess.

I agree, some of this new stuff tends to go over my head too. I was not familiar with some of these religions before so I think that it is interesting too. Our minds have almost been fixed to the basic religious beliefs so hearing this new stuff now is somewhat overwhelming. Sometimes I get confused between each religion and I know that it is because I did not grow up with learning about their beliefs.

I fall in the same category as all of you guys do too. This new information is awesome, but then again it just is really hard to take everything in that we are learning because we arent use to it at all. As we grow older having these foundations will help us a lot, and when people ask us what our thoughts are we will have this class to go back on and help us move forward.

A lot of of this new non western religion goes over my head as well. I think it’s because it is all so new to us and we don’t quite understand the non-western religions as well. It’s almost like learning a new religion because it is so foreign. I agree, however that it is very exciting to be learning about all these new religions. There are definetly some really weird religions in the Far East, but there are just as many here in America, like the Elvis religion.
