Never thought I'd live past 18. Never thought I'd be alive at 21. Never thought I'd be at #HarvardDivinitySchool, pero aqui estoy. #survivor

@RLSTprof old men w/beards @ Oxford? dejavu? idk about his claim tho (values=facts) are facts reliable? physical world can change #atheist

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTProf #ESHurd Yes, challenging to co-exist but I think we're getting better @ it; having these conversations. Never perfect but almost.

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #meyer #media shapes #community but who's shaping? who's controlling media? What agenda? One perspective is represented.

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #geertz uses ethnographic approach. how reliable is it? don't ppl act differently when observed? how truthful is the interviewee?

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #sharf how are experiences recorded? written down? filmed? Difficult to work with b/c no 2 experiences are the same. Or are they?

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof conversion conversation #james has reminds me of #marx's "opium of the ppl"; shows how easily religious experience can be reduced

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #freud focuses too much on monotheism. What about other groups?

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #weber Its a trip how much religion plays a role in shapin the world & how much the world shapes religion.

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@Vnguy017 @RLSTprof #frazer I think science is the end goal. I think it's progressing in a linear fashion instead of cyclical. Maybe.

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@WhatsDebDoing @RLSTprof @BillGates Whaaaat? I'm still not sure how he defines magic. He be all over the place.

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTProf So is #frazer saying that magic -> animism -> religion -> science?

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #muller says religion = misguided science. Could #science be #religion perfected? Don't they do the same work? Explain the world?

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof #muller How do we study #religion 2day? Interdisciplinary, In/outsider voice, no mor #Christian terms 2 describe other traditions

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof Funny #Tylor has so much "faith" in #science Many ppl 2day think it explains nat wrld 100% It's allknowing, omnipresent, powerful.

[Gabby @GabbsterGab]

@RLSTprof Darwin influences #Tylor's def. of religion & fails; modernity > old traditions; mor faith in mod; can't group all civ's 2gether.

Better teaching does not come from a political mandate...it comes from the heart of a prepared and caring teacher.
