@kprice2121 Definitely a good point to question! I think that’s how they wanted it to be translated too. If so, it definitely helped their image #REL2121S18

Today’s class was interesting to hear how Pentecostalism is the 2nd largest religion in the US and the reason for this was because of modern day technology. #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

@Yaramar04 Definitely! I never thought such religions existed but it’s cool to hear about it. #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

It’s weird to see how there wasn’t any evidence to support the claim that there were child molestation at the McMartin preschool, however, it got large amount of media coverage. #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

@saramgipson I totally agree with this. This book really brought about a whole other different perspective than what’s usually portrayed on the news #REL2121S18

Tuesday’s lecture was super interesting to talk about. Who knew that Heavens Gate, a UFO religion, had the ability to have 39 American kill themselves in mass suicide?? It also shocked me to that they were the first cult to using the Internet to their advantage. #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

@JYLREL2121 I totally agree! Plus, it can’t be assured that these deprogrammed people won’t run back to the cult at a later time!!! #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

I get that Ted Patrick was trying to help these young people by using his extreme measures to get them out of cults. But what’s makes him think that kidnapping them and forcing them to answer his questions with what he wants to hear is the best way to deprogram them?!?#REL2121S18

@morrison_alanna Vegetarian lifestyle has been associated with a longer life expectancy in the past due to not eating red meat and it’s effects #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

Branch Davidians were a cult and were known to be a threat but was it essential that the FBI get involved? They were a small secluded group. It’s seems like the amount of killings that occurred in Waco shouldn’t have happened. #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

I found it interesting how I learned about Ralph Waldo Emerson in literature class but never about why he wrote his writings #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

@linderc23 This is an awesome example! Many of those deaths weren’t justified. There wasn’t factual evidence just claims being put out there. And many women died during these trials due to this mistrial. #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

#REL2121S18 So it sounds like anti-semites hated the Jews because they were jealous @ the idea of it being “democratized” or “Americanized” so they decided to create rumors about them and start name calling them.

Can the Atlantic World be considered an old version of the “melting pot” of America since it was a blending and exchange of religious ideas as well as culture? #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

What were the distinctive features of early African religion? #REL2121S18

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

@JulianLevy21 #REL2121S18 1st Great Awakening, American Revolution, and Religious turmoil in Virginia!

[Brianna Paredes @bap16c]

@lcm16_lyllie That’s a good question! They were probably sent away or kicked out of the community. They were a bad examples of what they preach. So they probably weren’t wanted after that #REL2121S18

Is Group Marriage an early start to the now accepted swinger lifestyle? Both aren’t meant to reproduce children, so could this be considered the beginning? #REL2121S18
