World Religions what are they, and their impact on you??

World Religion - 100

This class studies the future and cultural practices of influential World Religions.  Catholic, Protestants, Jewish, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jehovah Witness, Non-Denominational, Atheist, and others.   When you only learn or are taught one religion other religions may psychosomatically become the enemy because of their “Cultural Practices”.

CONCEPT OF RELIGION:  Unknown and not taught to many people all over the world, the concept of religion was not originated to guide, control or direct the relationships and behavior of people.  The idea of religion originated from the cultural practices of “FARMING”, where people expressed their cultural and spiritual need to worship and glorify the sun, moon, rain, soil, fire, and the animals.  The living Earth stood as the universe upon which the cultural practices and exchange of farming concepts, ideas, and beliefs formed religion.  The translation of farming knowledge and practices to include and explain the human living experience created geographical cultural practices forming diverse religious groups or faiths.

RELIGIOUS IDENTITY:  Religion can make up 20% or more of who a person is.  Your religious identity forms your cultural practices even if you are a non-believer.  Your cultural practices impacts how you perceive others, how you act, how you feel emotionally, and determines your level of sensitivity and compassion.  Your religious identity and cultural practices can explain or describe your ethical and moral compass.   

NON-BELIEVERS:  Not believing is a “Cultural Religious Practice” and a religious choice.   Whether you are an Atheist, Agnostic, Doubting, Skeptic, Satanic, or a Nonbeliever, Disbeliever or whatever you title yourself, you have become or choose to follow along with others a “Cultural Practice”. 

RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE:  Your level of “Religious Tolerance or Intolerance” may cause you to enforce your “Cultural Practice” upon others.  However just as Farming techniques can and have become antiquated, outdated, and obscure with the passage of time so can the Human Religious Practices.  Slavery was once permitted within all religions, today Slavery in unlawful but still allowed and practiced regionally as a cultural right.
