@marygbrennan It may very well be removed in the future considering it was only added to the anthem in the 60s

#REL2121S18 after today’s lecture about the religious right, I was wondering if there were ever anything done or any organization that developed in the moderates or leftists movements in response to the religious rights political activism

#REL2121S18 Dr. MLK JR. Was a very inspiring orator and used his skills as a preacher to really touch the hearts of his listeners and inspire them.

@17_epb #REL2121S18 Yeah it seems like a lot of the counter culture and cult ideologies were about letting go of the responsibilities and expectations of society and embracing a new way of life

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

@katlynrel2121 #REL2121S18 yeah it’s interesting how at the time they thought the morality society should uphold in legislation was the morality of these religious groups

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

#REL2121S18 Carneige’s Gospel of Wealth relies on the richest individuals in society to pay for public structures like libraries and hospitals but without an entity like the government to assure that they will pay and organize it it seems unlikely to work

Transcendentalism is interesting because it takes enlightenment ideals of rationalism and looking to nature to understand reality and blends them with a very spiritual and personal process. #REL2121S18

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

@TandHoney22 I can definitely see that especially since Immanuel Kant and other intellectuals from the enlightenment wrote about looking to nature for answers about the nature of the universe. #REL2121S18

@TreysternREL Yeah things like that make studying so much easier like with Whitefield and field preaching

#REL2121S18 If native Americans were not mentioned among the three races and weren’t a descendant of Noah then where did the Protestants believe they came from?

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

@Religion2121 Yeah we covered a lot of the atrocities during the Atlantic Slave Trade in high school but this seems like something that is pretty important and should have been mentioned

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

@thebrettfitz Too true even current ideas of celibacy before marriage aren’t being upheld as much in today’s society

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

@amw17b Nice! I do wonder what Ben and the other founding fathers would think of our current political and religious climate

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

#REL2121S18 how are the leaders of the First and Second Great Awakenings similar and different and and there respective impacts on the events that unfolded and ideas that spread during these times

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

@JYLREL2121 This is a really good question especially considering the rise of Christians who don't regularly attend church but rather pray from home. If the faith is there but they don't go to church are they Christians?

[Noah Benoit Spofford @nbs15d]

#REL2121S18 utopias get a bad rep for being sexual but it’s not their fault that the Bible is extra unclear about how sexual relationships work in the afterlife.

If predestination isn't true then how come the five points of Calvinism make a perfect acronym? Checkmate Wesley. #REL2121S18 #TULIP #TCURP
