I really enjoyed the discussion
today. Religion has always been a topic that interested me. It is something
that I personally do not understand; yet it has been apart of my life since I
was little. The idea of religion
being apart of evolution is seemingly contradictory because most religions do
not support the idea of evolution of mankind. I have always asked myself who made up religion and why. The discussion
we had in class. I always saw it as a way to control the masses; I just failed
to connect certain details. Religion alters our darkest instincts, hiding them
beneath the surface. However, just like everything else humanity has butchered
the importance of religion, making it the root of social issues that have
caused wars and other violence. Today, I am accepting of the fact that our
generation leans more towards reason and logic when it comes to our origins and
a “higher power”. It will be interesting to see how our children perceive religion
in the future. In relation to the novel, I think it is amazing how Dostoevsky
can provoke such insight on a topic as vast as the ones mentioned in a single paragraph.
