Assignment 6 Impressions of local religious centers

The first building we visted which was the islam mosque . I think visting this place was a good experience that i pass up. I've gotten full explainations of things i was curious about . Like why do muslim women cover themselves , it's basically an easy understanding it's being modest covering up to them prevents alot of bad things happening to there females. For example rape like the instructor said males looking at others males wifes.(LOL) And i've come to find out there very agreeable with most christians but all Regions that believe in christianity all believe in treating one another with respect. The instructor was also good at answering my questions and was a good host.

The second building we went to was the relgion of Judaism which was also an experience.My auestions there to do fully answered. My question was why was the circumcision of baby boy done in a group as opposed to it being done in a hospital. What he said was some where done in the hostipal because most doctors didnt want to come to the family house they'd rather do it where they had all their supplies and nurses. Also i found out that their circumcisions was done eight days after the birth not on the same day as which my religion would do. Also they have a celebration afterwards which is also fascinating. My other question was answered fairly it was pertaining to the wearing of the yarmulke's. It was said that it was to separate man from good which was done out of respect to God.

Last but not least the catholic church which was well what i expected. I didn't get to act my questions and get the proper answer but on my own i discovered new info. Like when they baptize they dont dip the full body its only the head that is dipped which is so fascinating to me. Another things was by the entrance they had little like metal bowl looking things that held the holy water. I was guessing so that they could cleanse themselves before entering. but no it like a reminder of them getting baptized and what they went thru hopefull y i stated that correctly. All of these visits it was good to learn about other relgions other than mine and to find out that they had similar characteristics like my church.

Unit 2 assignment 1

Why I think religion exist?

I think religion exists because people have their own minds. I'm pretty sure people got tired of having just one thing to believe in and was unsure of. Many people have different beliefs an wasn't going to always agree with one another. Another reason is it would be alot of people that didn't agree with the way stuff was did amoung many groups like girls marrying young, what woman would want there daughther to start having sex and a family so early. Also most people may have believed in worshiping multiply Gods and animals even objects. While others worshiped only one God with those being oh so different there was no way that it could not be religion.

Assignment 1 being civilized

To be civilized would be having respect for everybody and anybody. Having your right education. Also being civilized would include you to be well mannered , to have order and self control. To handle things wisely and not stupidly with hate. what makes someone civilized would be for them to already know how to act and never to overreact to take responsibility for his or her own actions. Another way would be never treat others as if their standards are lower than his or her own or that one may be to good or better than another. And to last understand that we are are the same and we are equal.
