World Religions

I found the activity we had on Fridya to be one of the most interesting things to happen all week. I had no idea how many people in the class shared the same ideas or beliefs. I thought it was odd that for such a diverse community we shared the same philisophical beliefs. However, for a group with the same beliefs, we all held the same weaknesses. I noted that when Mr. Smart posed the question of “if Aquinas was wrong about the purpose of humanity, what was the purpose?”, the debating group deftly sidestepped the questionand went right on attacking Aquina’s beliefs. I also found myself disagreeing with them. I thought the fact that our instincts drove us to learn and reproduce proved that Aquinas was correct. It has been psychologically proven that all animals are capable of some form of religion. Even in anarchy, humanity has striven to create order.
