more religion talk


Today, in Human Geography with Mr. Schick, we discussed everything from Buddhism to… stinkbugs. The part of our class spent on stinkbug stories, we heard about how Mr. Schick’s home was taken over by stinkbugs and how he had so many stinkbugs in his wood stove that he had to burn the stinkbugs at the stake because there were just too many of them. Then we moved on to continue our lesson on culture and discussed the major religions in the world. During this lesson we were told of how Mr. Schick thought about becoming a Buddhist because of their moral standards and how one of his friends invited them to his mosque and tried to convince him and his wife to convert to Islam. We also learned that one can be both Hindu and worship a god in another religion. This is because Hinduism is more of a lifestyle than an actual religion, so you can be a Hindu as long as you are in agreement with their way of life.
