I enjoyed the book we read for class as it grew my knowledge and understanding of the role the FBI and the government played as different religious movements were growing throughout the U.S. #rel2121s18

Not surprised Donald Trump received more of the majority vote from Evangelicals than Mitt Romney, considering he did have more to be "born again" for. #rel2121s18

[Jack Walker @jackwRel2121]

I wonder what Evangelicals believe about Hilary's character as the majority voted for Donald Trump, valuing his character more. #REL2121S18

Following the poll seen of the percentage of Evangelicals that voted for Trump, I'm intertestd to find what the numbers are for other religions throughout the recent Presidential elections and why they choose that candidate. #REL2121S18

Interesting to point out when George W. Bush and Donald Trump received the majority of Evangelicals votes, they won the election, however when Mitt Romney did, he lost. #REL2121S18

I thought this was a very interesting class. I learned much about groups that I had no idea existed, that played such a large role in society. #rel2121s18

Trump when asked, "Have you ever asked God for forgiveness?" #REL2121S18

@led16g It definitely seems like he says what everyone wants to hear, to grow the amount of votes he gets, however so do most candidates during elections. #REL2121S18

@chanlovesrelig Often times when people commit violent acts they do so as if it is not real and they are living in a movie or a game, as they were exposed to that type of violent media throughout their life. #REL2121S18

@aja_yayreligion That is a very interesting point. Many people get caught for the same things they preach against and try to educate their followers about. #REL2121S18

@BrookeBt17e Sometimes when people hear or see something, it goes along with what they believe so much they are willing to give away their money. #REL2121S18

@Dillonrel2121 Many times people are to caught up in what they believe to understand right from wrong, however if they were to take a step back they would think more clearly. #REL2121S18

[Jack Walker @jackwRel2121]

@chanlovesrelig I agree with what you're saying. Often times when people in a religious group perform an act one would deem harmful, the religious group as a whole is seen as being "extremists." #REL2121S18

Slaves owners trying to destroy black culture, during the spiritual holocaust, could never had worked because the black culture was part of what kept the slaves working and longing for freedom. #REL2121S18

Part of the decline of the Oneida Community had to do with the fact that the younger people in the community wanted a push back to traditional marriages. After complex marriage ended, the community dissolved. #REL2121S18

[Jack Walker @jackwRel2121]

Mutual Criticism, seen in the Oneida Community, is a huge part of society today as people are criticized for how they act or dress. Whether it is by their family, friends, or strangers, those people believe it should be changed. #REL2121S18

Interesting that Francis Asbury had little education however his travels and writing are important to researches as he explains life of the frontier, while he was spreading Methodism. #REL2121S18

[Jack Walker @jackwRel2121]

@AllieM706 This is an interesting point. There are always people who are going share the same ideas as others. Just because he lost his license to preach does not mean these people stopped sharing the same ideas he had. #REL2121S18

[Jack Walker @jackwRel2121]

Very interesting how the term Mormon was used first as a derogatory term and now is still used today however not in the same way. #rel2121s18

[Jack Walker @jackwRel2121]

@KSREL21 @JYLREL2121 Controlling all these things seems extreme, however it was the way the people wanted to live. #REL2121S18
