Today in class we continued to go over the power point on
Culture Geography. I learned that religion can unify or disunify a nation.
Saul, also known as Paul, is one of the major reasons the Christianity didn’t
die out and continued to be a prospering religion. The Saul/Paul story was told
today and I have never previously heard this story. But the story goes somewhat
like this, Saul was a Roman who persecuted Christians. He was riding his horse
and was suddenly struck by blindness for three days. Then a voice came to him
and told him to stop persecuting Christians. Saul’s sight instantaneously came
back. Saul then started to promote the Christian way of life. Also I learned
that “Amazing Grace” is the song of Saul/Paul. Qur’an, the holy book for
Muslims, can also be spelled Koran. In my essay that I wrote over the weekend,
I stated that there were only 14 million Christians in the world, I know
realize how inaccurate that statement was. 1 out of every 3 people are
Christians. Muslims don’t believe that Jesus was crucified, this concept was
new to me.
