Dangerous Things That Pray Chapter 6 Summary

148 Words1 Page

I think chapter six is one of the best chapters in the book. I have learned why so many dangerous things have happened around the world, and also what motivates some people to become terrorists. However, one thing I never understood is how religion can be part of global terrorism. In ancient times, religion was always the problem for humanity. Men cannot unify because different groups have different beliefs I think men should put aside religious beliefs so they can unify. There are always two sides of a story. The other reason religion is a threat to society is because of a political reason, people who become terrorists usually have a political reason for it. What’s makes religion difficult to understand today is that many terrorists kill

    The Killer Angels follows the three day long, decisive battle of Gettysburg during the United States Civil War. The book’s storytelling is purely chronological, as the story progresses our perspective is flip flopped between the Union and Confederate sides of the battle, however the story is consistently told in the 3rd person. Michael Shaara uses immense details when describing this battle and does an incredible job of describing every character and scene, making everything easy to visualize and allowing you to put yourself in the story. The story reveals to us the thought process of all the seemingly fearless military leaders, as they discuss battle strategies and how to outsmart their opponent. Many characters throughout the book explain

    The Killer Angels, written by American author Michael Shaara, is a constant third person narrative, which is about the Battle of Gettysburg (a small town in Virginia). The novel begins on the date of July 1, 1863, during the time of the Civil War where the Confederate army, and the Union army, fought the most substantial sized battle of the American Civil War. In my research based outside of the book, I discovered that several of the characters in the novel are based on real historical figures. Those characters include, General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate army; General James Longstreet, Lee’s second in command; and Union Colonel Joshua L. Chamberlain, who participated in one of the most famous segments of the Battle of Gettysburg,

    In part six, I thought there was a lot of good information spread out in all of the chapters. The biggest thing that stood out to me were in chapter 25. I enjoyed the first sections that were expressed. I enjoyed the idea about how Jesus recruits heroes to join him in critiquing theocapitalism. I think this means that he reaches out to people who are going to attempt to make the kingdom grow.

    People are hesitant to stand up for what they believe in, including Islam not being a religion of terrorists. Persecution ensues when common held beliefs are questioned. It takes a lot to change a misguided belief, especially if it is held by so many people. In Salem, too many people had to die before injustice was fully realized. In the United States, the population is very far away from realizing Muslims and terrorists are nowhere near the same thing.

    Religion itself is not the issue, it is the people who interpret it falsely to gain political and cultural benefits that serve as the issue. On the news, it is common to hear about new plots and tragedy brought about by terrorists and their organizations. Terrorists take religious practice seriously. For when a nation or person threatens their religion, it could result in the death of innocent people and could possibly take their own lives in the act. One of the most recent incident of terrorism was toward a French magazine office that had published a satirical, yet controversial, image of Muhammad, which triggered a terrorist attack among the office in order to bring justice to the terrorist's god.

    From the book I have learned the history of the KKK, other knight groups, their way of living, and their way of thinking. I have also learned how somebody can be a regular old citizen in our community, but is a part of a hate group and believes that Blacks, Latinos, Asians, people from the LGBT community, and Jews are the enemy. Not only are these groups are more than relevant all over the country, but there are young children who will keep these groups alive. The children will be corrupted into thinking that racial hate is normal way to think and will follow the footsteps into their parents. This book very much shows how the Neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, white nationalist, and other groups want a white dominated nation.

    Nevertheless, whether terrorism has a religion or not is definitely not what I am here to write about. Discrimination in any shape or form should not be tolerated, it must be stopped. Islamophobia has severely increased discrimination in our world; likewise, biased views against not only Muslims but also non-Muslims are becoming a norm nowadays. You might ask how? Well, due to the unbelievable indoctrination of our people through social media and politics, anyone who looks like they are from the Middle East and has a beard, is a terrorist.

    Religion is part of the human history and it will always be a part of it. Even though many know that religion is part of history a lot of person avoid religion like if it was a sickness and they want nothing to do with it. The fear of religion or a deity is what has made religion a center of investigation. One of the most controversial investigations are the ones that said that religion is not something that we as humans choose to believe in, but rather that we are already born with a predisposition to believe in a deity, in other words that humans are neurologically wired for religion. This claim has been hardly controversial because many said that religion, like Christianity, did not exist before Christ or that if humans we are predispose

    The Atrocity A boring plot, a pathetic ending, a gay couple. I believe you should not read this book if: you value your faith, or enjoy intelligent novels. I believe if a person chooses to neglect their faith or intelligence they have abandoned some of the most basic values of human life. Without knowledge or faith our world would be thrust into darkness, because at the root of our society we all rely on our faith or knowledge or possibly both.

  • Argumentative Essay On War On Religion

    1569 Words  | 7 Pages

    War on Religion There is a belief among people that declares religion as the main cause of wars worldwide, and it has been the main cause of violence throughout the history of humanity. While we cannot deny that, some battles such as the crusades and the Lebanese civil war were based on religious faith, it is totally illogical to consider religion as the main cause of wars. Moreover, although there is also no disagreement that some extremist in Islam were behind 9/11, it is considered a misjudgment to say that all individuals in this religion convey the concept of violence and cruelty. The fact is non-religious incentives take the responsibility for almost all of humans’ wars. Lives lost during religious wars are nothing compared to those lost during non-religious wars.so why people believe that religion is the cause of wars, why they are wrong and do the extremist represent religions?
