Armstrong: What is Religion? 

Read her book ! - A history of God by this speaker , a very enlightening understanding of what religion really is .

@1macboo when people say "western religion" they are referring to christianity, judaism, and islam. even though none of them originated in europe.

I am just trying to get a good grade, not have both of my eardrums blown out.

@HectorYLaComay she is English and was raised Roman Catholic. She was a nun for awhile before she became an author.

Religion teaches us how to relate with each other centering on the eternal world, the transcendent world, the dwelling place of the Divine Being, whether we call Him God or by some other name. - Divine Principle

Bad audio, im trying to do good on my essay

Most expensive thing in world is trust on your selves orelse known person. Cheap people or usless people cannot afford those things.

She is all over the place. She's comparing and contrasting Christianity with Buddhism with Islam instead of focusing on one and validating or invalidating it. I hope she never gets into a debate with an Apologist like Jimmy Aiken or Trent Horn. They'd tear her to shreds.

@WafflesMalone You need to listen to the video again and get YOUR facts straight. Karen said specifically that "believing the right things" is an obsession of christianity. So, I was right to point out that she did not mention that is an obsession of Islam also.

Not about philosophy? I always thought religion is a big philosophical topic!

She's right that believing the right things is an obsession of western religion. She of course never mentions that it is an obsession of modern Islam also. Far be it for her to ever say anything critical about Islam, we wouldn't want to hurt the sensitive Muslims little feelings, now, would we? I can understand her reluctance to criticize Islam, she doesn't want to receive death threats which she certainly would if she did criticize Islam.

Correct ;) I have always thought that the fate (of the bible), applies to "faithful to the regulations of the juristic and agricultural rules" within the bible. the Neolithic tradition. :)

If the imposition of religious conformity is peculiar to Western Christianity one has to wonder what Moses was so upset about when he came down from the mountain with the tablets. Sorry Karen, we love you but you don't get to re-create religion in your own image or in Buddha's. Religion is many things to many people and intellectual conformity has been part since long before Western Christianity -- like it or not.

Armstrong's religion is a form of religion but it has no power or substance.
