In my opinion, believers in different religions can be as moral and as average as each other. Although both groups have different beliefs, there is no set correct or incorrect way to do things. If there are different standards and different fundamentals, how can we say one’s more moral than the other? Even though no one more superior than the other, religion makes a huge difference. Religion gives a sense of identity to individuals. These contrasting views place these individuals in separate lanes, which makes it absurd to place superiority.

My Response:

I agree to the fact that all religions provide sense of morality and framework of ethics to its followers. This is the aspect that makes all religions very similar to each other. But I don’t think the one should confuse arrogance with sense of pride. In my opinion, every religion makes its true followers humbler and open minded to other cultures and religions.

People in different religions may have different beliefs but would be about as moral as each other because each believer in any religion thinks and act morally based on what is agreeable to the deity or the god they serve. For instance, Christians act morally based on the divine principles of Jesus Christ and Muslims base theirs on what is agreeable to the principles of Muhammad. Muslims give alms and support the development of communities to enhance the welfare of individuals and the society, the same way Christians also are involved in building schools, providing health care services to the communities. Religion doesn’t make a difference because what is morally acceptable by Christians is just about the same  as Muslims based on what the gods deem as holy and therefore morally acceptable, both religions also believe that their deity needs to be gratified by doing what they say regardless which has moral value to some extent.

My Response:

I think that all Abrahamic religions are more or less similar to each other in terms of their morals, ethics and humanitarian beliefs. They are different just in terms of their prayers and beliefs regarding God. All these religions believe in creating better society by implementing the humanitarian principals. And I agree to the fact that concept of acceptable and inacceptable are different according to each religion’s individual concepts.

In reference to the difference in beliefs, I believe that morally they are all equal. Regardless of religion belief, when it comes to morals each religion can easily distinct whats right and whats wrong. A difference may reside in terms of something being morally right within one religious belief, yet deemed to be wrong within another religion. However, all religions depend heavily on what they believe in and will always do what is morally correct within their religion. With an open mind religions could not be blinded by their beliefs to convince their selves that they are better than another religion, yet they could use that mindset to see that religions are connected by their similar respect of morals. Mutual respect and understanding comes a long way when referring to religion, but with more understanding there will be less competition of what a person should believe in once they realize that similar morals are the make up of all their religions.

My Response:

I think the point stated about the mutual respect is really important between the followers of any religion as it makes believers of different religions live in peace and harmony within the community. Sadly, many followers of different religions start to consider themselves superior to others, which is really wrong, and they very against the concept of morality, that every religion teaches.

Many people will give up little to nothing for much bigger things. If it were up to me i would give up my life for my justice and a peaceful society, we have to fight for peace and what we want our children to be able to have. We can not live or stay in a a community with our people going crazy and living in a crazy mess. and for this i will give my life to push for everyone to have a mind. i will push and fight for what we need as a whole; i would encourage many people to do the same if we have any fight in us i want all to fight for a full justice filled community.  Now keep in mind that many don't have to fight but just putting out words is part of the fight just; standing on your own feet and understanding is a fight in it self giving up your old ways is a sacrifice we can all put our own in to place.

My Response:

This post has raised an important point regarding achieving the higher purpose in community. It is essential that we humans strive for peace justice and equality of rights. Even if we believe that our fight won’t benefit us in our small lives, still we should struggle for what is right and important as it will help the future generations to live in a peaceful time, that we always dreamed of. I think we should always standup for what we think is right.

There are many noble ideas to die for; freedom is one that is very essential to human spirit! What is freedom? According to online dictionary, freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Just imagine if we don’t have a freedom of speech and press, it means that many musicians can’t sing, many Journalist can’t practice, there will be no Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube, and even internet. Imagine if we don’t have freedom of assembly and religion, it means that there will be no political protect, conferences, church going, public crusade and so on. And just imagine if we don’t have a freedom to bear arms! It means that we can’t protect and defend ourselves.  I am a lover of freedom. And I can do anything to protect it. Freedom didn’t come for free, some people sacrificed for it.  Freedom is something that generation to generation should continue to fight for and defend. I don’t pray that we one day have a rogue or tyrant as the head of our government who will want to take our freedoms away from us, that will be a day from hell. It will be the day that I exercise my right to bear arms and it will be against that government.  Freedom shall never die from the land of the free!

My Response:

This post discusses an important human right, freedom. I think freedom is essential to live a happy, peaceful and satisfied life. It helps us make the right choices, that we think are suitable for us. But I don’t think that all government regulations are bad. Freedom without responsibility and law, will make world turn into chaotic place. I think there is a very thin line between freedom and protection. Buying arms, as free human is not a good idea. No one should get freedom to buy any arm and mess up with the peace situation.

This is a great question. I have thought about this many times when I think about some of the people who have come before us and have fought and sacrificed their lives in search of equality. I have seen the hurt and pain that people of color went through to enter restaurants, to vote, to ride buses, and to go to schools. I would sacrifice my life to be respected and treated as an equal to all people. As an African American and a women. I would have signed up to walk the street arm and arm with activists. I would have gone into schools where I wasn’t wanted or accepted and sat in the back of buses and at lunch counters. In order to leave your house you have to think I am actually scarifying my life for a better good. Back then doing these things or if you participated in these things there was a good chance you could be beaten or killed. Losing their lives in search of equality. I am courageous enough and I feel so strongly about race equality and women rights and having the right to vote that I would have join the crusade for equality. 

My Response:

This post discusses the importance of equal rights, and how thousands of people have fought for acquiring the basic rights, that are simple as going to school. This made me realize that we often who have done any struggle to get the basic rights, often take this right for granted. No doubt that these basic rights shape our lives to be better and to create an impact.
