Free Choice: my thoughts on this class and the general idea
of religion/faith
Overall, this class has been
fascinating to me. I came into it thinking it would be a factual class about
various religions only to be completely wrong. I came into this class not being
religious, and even though I’m leaving it the same way I have a better
understanding as to why someone is religious. The idea of there being a God
looking over you and helping you through your life could easily help motivate
someone to actually keep going. I have always been surrounded by religion, most
of my friends are religious and most of my family is, but I hadn’t really
thought of religion as such a big portion of someone’s life. I had also never
thought of hiking in nature as a sign of religion and faith. It’s interesting
that someone would drop everything and walk for months just to grow in faith
and understand their purpose in life. I don’t know if this is an acceptable
blog topic, but I wanted to write about it.
