Today in Human Geography Mr. Schick had us do some different stuff in class. First of we had a shadow his name was Dylan Kidd. I knew him from my old school; he is a grade below me. So Mr. Schick did his little shtick about asking something about them and what Dylan told him gave him the nickname shark boy. Then we continued working on what we were doing before, though Mr. Schick had the bright idea to let us pick the test questions. We had some different questions that Mr. Schick liked though some others were either bad or trick questions. The different questions included did the Europeans conquer America, who was the enlightened one, what is the oldest religion on the list, and more. The reason why I'm not including more is because I left my book at school. So otherwise we are slowly gaining more questions.  

Blog #29- So close but no cigar

Today in Human Geo we got very close to finishing the world religions. We also had a shadow come and he taught some of the class by Mr. Schick’s permission. So we continued on Buddhism first. We had a little rant on how Buddha wasn't fat and he skinny on the verge of death. Then we talked about the reincarnation cycle that you can either go up or down depending on how well you did in a past life. Then when you reach the top you obtain nirvana. The next religion was Hinduism. We didn’t really cover a lot with this one because Mr. Schick didn’t know a lot about it. We just talked about its population and that you can choose to worship different gods. Then last but not least was Judaism, which we didn’t finish. It’s based on having a one on one connection with God. It is the smallest religion on the list at 16 million. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are all the same religion base with all believing the in same God. 

Blog #28-More of ze religions

Today is human geography we covered some more world religions. We covered the rest of the Islamic religion. We sort of reviewed most of the Islamic stuff but since their was a lot of questions it still took time out of the class. Then for a little bit we talked about the religious extremists and what is considered to be extreme like 9/11. We explained that Al Qaeda was just that. They next religion that we started was Buddhism. The son of a great king named Siddartha Gautama. A prophecy predicted that he would be either a great king or a great spiritual leader. So his father knew this and tried to keep him in the castle so that he would not leave and see the world. Though similar to Aladdin, the prince snuck out and saw the saw world. He said that he could not live in Luxury when people are staring and stuff. So he meditated and found the way which led to Buddhism.

Blog #27- More of Ze Vorld Religions

In Human Geo today we started to go over the world project that we did on Friday. The first religion that we got to in class was Christianity. They believe that Christianity was started around 40 ad.  That the main person of the religion is Jesus and that he weren’t popular during his life. Then we did the other questions like is Christianity mono or polytheistic which it is. Then the holy book is called the bible. Then we took around 20 min just asking questions and stuff. Then the next religion was Islam. The main person of the religion was Mahmoud you lived between 570-620 ish, he died when he was 50. The Muslims don’t believe Jesus is the son of god, they believe he is the son of God. Their holy book is the Qur’an.  Then we spent 20 more minutes asking questions. That is about how far we got in class.

Blog #26- Ze World Religions

Fridays class we didn't have Mr. Schick. We had Mr. Perry for a substitute. This was really fun because a lot of people in the class had him for science. So he just made fun of us, and the people who have never had him got to learn his standards which was pretty funny. Then we saw the giant project Schick left us, and everyone sighed. So we had to do something of world religions. Over all Christianity was the easiest for me since I have always gone to a christian school, I didn't have to look up as much. The other religions were harder since I had no idea what any of them were. The project wasn't fun, and i just found it cruel. Though i did finish it on the first day because of free mods. In my opinion the hardest religion was Hinduism because of the the different exceptions like how it is either Polytheism or Monotheism depending on the person. I didn't enjoy this project but I know Schick can do worse so i'm thankful.

Giant World Religion Project!!!

There are many different world religions the main religions include Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism. The First religion that I'm going to explain is Christianity. The religion was founded in the area of Israel. It is a Monotheistic religion, which means it only has one God. Christians have a holy book; the book is called the Bible. There are 2.18 billion Christians in the world today. The central figure in the religion is God, but he can be broken into three different parts God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. The largest amount of Christians are located in the United States are America.

            The next Religion is Islam. Islam was founded on the West Coast of Saudi Arabia, near the area of Mecca. Islam is a Monotheistic Religion. The Muslims Holy book is called the Qur’an. In 2009 there were over 1.6 billion Muslims the worlds.  The God of Islam is called Allah. Most of the Muslims are found in the Middle East. The Islamic Religion was a split path religion from Judaism just like Christianity.

            Another Religion was Buddhism. Buddhism was founded near Northern India. Technically Buddhism is Monotheistic because there are many different forms of Buddha but they all are still Buddha. Buddhism has no holy unlike the other Religions so far. Buddhism has anywhere from 300 to 500 million followers. The Buddhist religion does not believe in a God, they find it unimportant, but the closest thing they have to a God is Buddha. The largest amount of Buddhists can be found in China.

The next sort of different religion is Hinduism. It was founded in Ancient India. Hinduism is Polytheistic, it has many different Gods, and though it will change depending on what you domination you are. Hinduism has 3 different sacred texts; The Upanishads is the oldest and most mystical. The Mahaburata has all the stories, and the Vedas are the most philosophical. Hinduism religion has around 850 million followers. Since they have many different gods, the main God is Brahman. India has the largest Hindu population at around 780 million people.

            The final religion I will be covering is of course Judaism. People are not sure exactly where it came from but it is believed to have come from either Israel (if so by Abraham) or Samaria (if so Moses) though most of people agree with Israel. It is a Monotheistic Religion. The Jewish sacred text is called the Torah, or the first five books of the Bible. There are 14-16 million Jews in the world, making it one of the world’s smallest religions. Jews have many different names for their one God, and these names are Elohim, El, El Shaddai, Adonai, Elyon, and Avinu. Most of the Jews live in the US and Israel ( They are tied at around 5.5 million Jews each) . There are many different world religions and it isn’t bad that they are different.
