Religion has always been a double-edged sword: one side destroys you while the other releases you. As much as it created a purpose for our existence, it engulfed us in a bubble of fanaticism. Religious convictions can be not only life affirming but also life denying. I believe that this differs according to each individual 's background, upbringing, and beliefs.

taking this religion course, religion has been just a word that at quick glance seems very easy to define, but with further investigation, requires more thoughtful exploration.

if nothing else in the course of recent decades, reflection has fundamentally been executed as a piece of Yoga. In any case, contemplation, doesn 't generally have anything to do with Yoga. It is in truth a demonstration in itself. Reflection is for the most part performed in the wake of doing Yoga asanas/stances, since yoga pushes you into a condition of quiet, which is ideal for contemplation.

I have chosen to study them because recently I have been fascinated by the different branches of my religion (Judaism) and sought to see other religions (like Christianity’s) divisions. Many religions have recently begun changing to equalize the roles and responsibilities of men and women as the world has become more outspoken about women’s rights. Mormonism is sadly one of the exceptions to this change. The Mormon position on women in the household has changed very
don’t deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.” (Dave Willis) Derived from this quote is a good challenger and motivator to people of all religions to show respect and gratitude towards people who might not even deserve it. Reuven Malter displays respect toward his good friend, Danny Saunders, when he deeply studies the writings of psychoanalysis. Danny Saunders also treats not only his friend, Reuven Malter with respect of his religion, but also his father who
The theme of my art project is “REFLECTION”. My initial thought when I began to consider this theme, was to explore aspects of reflection and try to stay away from the conventional definition of reflection, as in reflecting something onto or off a surface. Through research I came across the idea of the reflection of one’s mind.

denominationally within the Christian tradition, to an acknowledgement of the variety of people today and respect for the diversity of their religions and beliefs.

Browning's literary pieces represent the time frame during which the men were disciplinarian, and very possessive about their surroundings. Browning represents madness of the early modern period through the protagonists of his two famous literary devices, "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria’s Lover”.
