This class really opened my eyes to different religions present in the US. I have learned to be more respectful and open to peoples beliefs instead on criticizing. #rel2121s18

I thoroughly enjoyed this course because I did learn so much more about religion in the United States. I went to a private Christian high school and did not learn about most of the topics we covered in this class. #rel2121s18

I think it is ironic how evangelicals number one issue was personal character to take position as President and Trump cant even answer the simple question "have you ever ask Jesus for forgiveness". #rel2121s18

@amw17b I think you are completely right, evangelicals were doing what they thought was going to be the best outcome for the country.

Online it states that Sister Aimee died because of drug overdose. This is very ironic because she founded the Foursquare Church . #rel2121s18

@kprice2121 I believe in the name "charismatic christians", they were trying to reshape the christian faith in America. With this being said, they wanted a different name for themselves opposed from the Catholics. #REL2121S18

@edfriedman4 i believe that once you are baptized you still need to abide by God's teachings. You are completely right in the terms of just being baptized does not mean you are completely saved. #REL2121S18

My thoughts after reading the assigned book, was the lack of knowledge of the FBI's involvement with different religious movements. Going forward, I will definitely think twice about if the FBI is ever involved with anything. #rel2121s18

[Sydney Anderson @fsusyd]

@saramgipson A very good point you bring up because many did not realize that behind many national events the FBI was always watching and taking part as well.

Father Divine's preaching reminds me of the Shakers in a way that they were both celibate and the way that they live. #rel2121s18

@garrett_REL2121 I think that the hysteria in the nation from the kidnapping of people was put upon itself because the people were joining the movement, knowing what they were getting themselves into. While their parents were concerned with their safety, they wanted their kids back #rel2121s18

[Sydney Anderson @fsusyd]

@jmo16cREL2121 I understand your view here, because people might have joined because some of their other friends were in college, not knowing what they were getting theirselves into. However, at the end of the day seeing the "brainwashed" movement, they could've thought secondly. #rel2121s18

I think the Great Awakenings lead to many great things in America. Such as different denominations were introduced to the nation, meaning your neighbor could believe in something different than you. This is still present today. #rel2121s18

Do Mormons still practice/believe in the same practices from 19th century to modern day? #rel2121s18

From today’s lecture I learned that, Noyes wanted complete control of his people and wanted a perfect society. This sounds like a dictator of his own time #REL2121S18

[Sydney Anderson @fsusyd]

@Religion2121 Sexuality still plays a huge role in the society today. #REL2121S18

I feel John Humphrey is in a way like Ann Lee, not relying on anyone but themselves. #rel2121s18

[Sydney Anderson @fsusyd]

@gaby_erice What a coincidence right? People thought they were going to start a new life in the West but really ended up starting the Second Great Awakening. #REL2121S18
