I wonder why Eldridge Cleaver is never talked about in any High School religion class because he seems to have been an active figure in history #rel2121s18

UFO religions are definitely an interesting concept. I wonder who was the first person that spotted this "UFO" and how did they get other people to believe them. #rel2121s18

@francescafuent The exact bus is on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. We went on many field trips throughout grade school to this museum when we were learning about this topic. #REL2121S18

@sh16r1 I think the concept of deprogramming is very strange but also very interesting. It must have been very difficult for families to put their family members through this process due to the isolation and physical treatment. #REL2121S18

@SamanthaStofsky I agree, these MSD students are really making a difference and college students will proabably be learning about them in a history class in the future! #rel2121s18

The explosion of new religions in the '60s and '70s had many factors. One main factor was the new young middle class who challenged the norm in many ways such as going to college. #rel2121s18

@MaraMadigan If there were benefits, maybe some of these methods should be brought back to help people today. #REL2121S18

@led16g I was also confused with this process. I would think her husband would be more worried when she stopped breathing and not want to show her off to the public. #REL2121S18

@amw17b I was thinking the same thing. How can something be one thing while also being the complete opposite? #REL2121S18

We spent so much time talking about the Puritans and The Great Awakening yet we only talked about Judaism for half of a lecture. The Jews played a big part in our history, why do we not spend more time discussing their role in history? #rel2121s18

@Yaramar04 I agree, even today there are so many examples of scapegoats involved with politics and included in many TV shows. #REL2121S18

I never realized the extent of the relationship between the FBI and regligion until I started to read the FBI and Religion book. it has really opened my eyes to things I never knew. #rel2121s18

Interesting to see that Americans thought slavery was justified by the Myth of Ham. #rel2121s18

@SamanthaStofsky some of these symbols and days of remembrance include the American flag, the Bald Eagle, the Fourth of July, and Presidents Day. #REL2121S18

@sle17b along with that, a modern day ritual of the "Religion of the Republic" is Super Bowl Sunday! #REL2121S18

[rachel pesick @rpesick1]

@sh16r1 @SamanthaStofsky I agree as well. She was such a great leader and really helped shape the Shaker community. #REL2121S18

The United States wanted to prove they were a new type of nation that was strong, should they start a war with the Barbary Pirates or just pay them off? They didn't want the Pirates to think they weren't prepared for war but paying them off seemed easier. #rel2121s18

@dak16c @Dillonrel2121 That didn't really make sense to me either. They must have just relied on other people having similar beliefs as them wanting to join them. #REL2121S18
