@KellyHartigan3 this is an interesting point
I do agree that television allowed for better communication of different religions but we also learned about the different religious leaders who went a little crazy on tv #REL2121S18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@ZHirschler I agree that is very weird
we also learned about "Father Devine" & his brainwashing actives which I also thought was bizarre #REL2121S18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

the lecture I found the onset interesting was about Satanism
I enjoyed this lecture because I originally didn't think of it as a religion (even though I had no reason to not think of it as that) #rel2121s18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

I wish we could have learned more about religion in today's world and how it plays into our culture and basic living #rel2121s18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@Dillonrel2121 I agree! & not just government agencies, religion is factored into every little thing & I feel that most people do not realize that

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@KimSmithREL2121 that, and Evangelical voting patterns directly mimic those of their leaders #REL2121S18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@sh16r1 I feel like that is one of the reasons so many people followed the Holy Ghost Baptism's idea
People wanted to be perfect and this was an answer #REL2121S18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@marygbrennan from what I have gained from the lectures and videos shown in class, "perfect" can mean living a life filled with many different experiences that help individuals grow and learn to be happy and holy #REL2121S18

The Evangelicals once largely supported Jimmy Carter but eventually abandoned Carter for his failure to enact the policies they asked for and improper representation of their religion.

Dr.MLKj said "my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord" in both of the speeches that we watched in class. It is very inspiring to see how his passion for the lord never changed during his journey. #rel2121s18

Do you think that Ted Patrick was doing everyone a favor or is he just a hypocrite for kidnaping the children back from their "cult family" and "deprogramming" them? #REL2121S18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

In the documentary showed in class, do you think that Kathy realized that the lifestyle she was living in the Love Family was not for her after her fake exorcism? #REL2121S18

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

theres always that one outcast in the group
kinda like how Rhode Island did NOT have a state established religion but the other colonies did

@FsuJzs15 @SamanthaStofsky then we begin to see the outcomes of the the great awakenings such as the emergence of denominational concepts and ultimately the establishment of religious freedom

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@sle17b our professors asked us "what is religion?" on the first day of class and my answer has definitely changed since then
this shows that it can not only very from person to person but can also expand and explore one's personal views

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

its interesting to see how benjamin franklin came from such a conservative family, yet still expanded his knowledge and beliefs of religion from his printing job.

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

@FsuJzs15 Asbury also created the "districts" of churches, helped blacks come into church, AND converted Richard Allen. This further shows how big religion was back in the 1700s because Asbury, and many many more, dedicated their entire life to it.

[michaela dugdale @mdd17b]

colonists came to America to escape religious persecution but still ended up arguing and fight about their different beliefs
