When class is canceled but there is a 1 1/2 hour long documentary to watch #rel2121s18

@ejrelinam I guess I never really understood what cults were before learning about these cult wars. They were definitely more of a problem than I thought. #REL2121S18

One thing I have noticed over the course of this semester, is that many significant events have been left out of high school curriculums. I feel that learning about these religious events would have been very beneficial in understanding history #REL2121S18

@Religion2121 I definitely agree with this, it is crazy to think we didn't learn about the greatest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act before 9/11. I wonder why this is?

What made Jim Jones' teachings so inspirational as to convince people to kill themselves? As supposed Disciples of Christ, why would these people commit an act that the bible depicts as an unforgivable sin? #REL2121S18

@Dillonrel2121 I think a perfect example of this is the Evangelical leaders urging their followers to vote for Trump even though he isn't Evangelical #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

It seems like a contradiction that 81% of white Evangelicals would vote for Trump when he openly engages in most of the vices that the Evangelicals who claim to have a "superior virtue" look down upon. #REL2121S18

@henryfsurel This is a very good point especially since Benjamin Franklin was in a position of more power. I wonder if he downplayed how much he switched religion? #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

It's very strange that I have never learned about Pentecostalismm especially since it's the largest Christian group outside the Roman Catholic Church. I wonder why that is? #rel2121s18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

@pad16c @BloomRyan7498 It's hard to believe Christlam would have any following because there are so many contradicting ideas in both Christianity and Islam. How did he mesh these ideas together? #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

How is it possible for Eldridge Cleaver to convert to so many religions? Many of them have conflicting ideas #rel2121s18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

@francescafuent I totally agree with you, I never gave it much thought but it makes sense that people could worship things other than the typical Gods we think of. I especially found the Beyonce religion interesting. #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

I think part of the reason the trial was such a huge deal was that preschools had just started popping up and parents were sending their children there to be safe but instead they were possibly experiencing satannic ritual abuse. #rel2121s18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

@linderc23 I think the only thing that he is missing is the ability to transform nature into a higher, purer reality. I'm sure he believed nature could show humans the way to God. #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

Phineas Quimby thought disease was located in the mind. If this was true, could we think our way out of being sick? #rel2121s18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

@lhpo16 I think Great Britain started to realize this too which is why they sent natives to set towns on fire during King Philip's War #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

@lhpo16 I think the freedom to consume religion in the religious marketplaces also contributed to this #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

Hard to believe Yale is one of the best schools in the country if they didn't even encourage "freethinking" at one point #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

I feel like George Whitefield's introduction of field preaching is one of the most influential developements to religion in America #REL2121S18

[Allie Morris @AllieM706]

I find it very interesting how people still followed Noyes's views even though his license to preach was revoked. What made his views so special that other people wanted to follow him? #REL2121S18
