Religion Class

So, as I stated, I’m taking a class called “The Quest for Meaning: World Religions”. It is an odd class to say the least. Today, we discussed religion and what it means. There were some odd ideas. Never-the-less, I want to see what you guys think religion is. What is religion defined as? I stated that it was a misused term, and that it is something that entirely transcends human understanding, but yet drives who we are.

A New Term

Well, it is that time of year again, when I am school, being spiteful of the rest of the nation that still has at least one more week off for Christmas break . Anyway, I’m two days into classes, and I like most of them. I have this one class though, it will be an odd one. It is my Philosophy class. The title is thus “Quest for Meaning: World Religions” I have to say, this shall be an interesting class. I am required to go to two services of different faith traditions than my own. So, for those of you in Corvallis, if you see me walking into some weird building or something, fear not, it is for the quest of an A. I also have to watch two movies on some other faiths. The professor seems nice enough, but I’m not sure where he is coming from in the class, raised Lutheran, spent four years living in a Buddhist temple, and who knows what else. I also plan on resuming my daily prayer points this term, so tune in and join with me in prayer!
