    Katherine Martinez commented on the post, Churches and Political Activism (Micah Goodwin, Feb 9th-14th Discussion), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) 5 years ago

    In reply to: Neil Sloan wrote a new post, Churches and Political Activism (Micah Goodwin, Feb 9th-14th Discussion), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) Article: Trump Vows To ‘Destroy’ The Law That Bans Chu […] View

    I believe that politics and religion do influence one another in great ways but I also strongly believe that you can separate the two as well. The relationship between politic and religion is not the greatest and usually causes more harm than good at the end of the day. As well as others, I was not aware of the Johnson Amendment and I do not see a…[Read more]

    In reply to: Neil Sloan wrote a new post, Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen? (Liyah Aranjuez, April 6th-April 12th), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) Growing up Catholic, I have always been taught that I […] View

    I am a firm believer in that everything that happens in your life, happens for a reason, whether that reason is good or bad. I also believe that God puts obstacles in your life because he knows your strength that knows that you can overcome it. God puts these “bad” and “evil” things in our lives for a reason, He does it because he loves and cares…[Read more]

    Katherine Martinez commented on the post, “It’s Time to Reclaim Religion” (Ana Martinez, April 6th-April 12th), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) 5 years ago

    In reply to: Neil Sloan wrote a new post, “It’s Time to Reclaim Religion” (Ana Martinez, April 6th-April 12th), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) While browsing through videos on TED Talks, I came across a very […] View

    I do not think that traditions can be kept in churches without there being a certain routine to go along with it. Traditions aren’t meant to be changed or tweaked to appeal to younger generations. Traditions are passed down through generation to generation and are not meant to be changed.

    Katherine Martinez commented on the post, Rape and Abortion (Karissa McAnelly, April 13-19th), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) 5 years ago

    In reply to: Neil Sloan wrote a new post, Rape and Abortion (Karissa McAnelly, April 13-19th), on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) Rape & Abortion When raped and impregnated, is it okay to have an abortion? […] View

    My belief in the case of aborting a baby that was conceived through rape is that the mother should have the right to choose what she wants to do. It is her body that was sexually assaulted, she had no choice in that matter, she was forced into having sex with another person, that women should have the right to the choice of what she wants to do…[Read more]

    In reply to: Neil Sloan wrote a new post, Sports and the Sabbath, on the site Theology in the Media (Spring 2017) The summer of 2016 was an exciting time in sports. Many of my fellow New Yorkers endured a hot July day to […] View

    As a catholic who works almost every Sunday, I do not believe that playing sports nor working out on the Sabbath has anything to do with a person’s belief. Every person has their own belief systems and how they choose to follow their religion, playing sports or working on the Sabbath has nothing to do with the strength or belief of a certain…[Read more]

    I believe that it’s a great thing to be able to talk comfortably about your religion and that it would help if the discussion about religion started at a younger age. Speaking up about their own religion helps spread the word of their faith and helps the religion as a whole to have another voice for it. Having open discussions about your own…[Read more]

    I agree with others based on the fact that I also watched this movie and I managed to finish it but I did not get the true concept of the movie. The movie confused me and I truly did not understand its purpose for what it stood for. Now that people are older, they have a better sense for interpretations such as this one and how they managed to…[Read more]

    Each religion has their own practices and a choice of whether or not they choose to follow up with the practices. However, their choice should not affect how others judge their true faith and beliefs. I am a catholic and used to be not allowed to eat meat at all on Fridays during lent by my mother but now that I am older, I have chosen to not…[Read more]

    I believe that the conflicts that arise between Muslims and Christians are based off of stereotypes that are made against Muslims and their beliefs. The media plays a huge role in how Muslims are portrayed, especially after terrorist attacks. Christians have strong and beliefs systems but so do Muslims and the differences between the two religions…[Read more]

    If the world were to end and I was still alive to actually witness it, I do not know how I would react and honestly, nobody does. Everybody says that they know the emotions that they would be going through such as pain, fear, or sadness. But in terms of what actions they would take, they do not know what they would do unless they were actually in…[Read more]

    I also have never heard of the Ark of the Covenant, this is the first time that I’ve heard about it. However, without any concrete evidence that states that it is actually in Ethiopia, it’s difficult to believe that it is actually present there. Without anybody actually being able to see and examine the Ark of the Covenant for themselves then it…[Read more]

    I believe that if you truly love somebody, regardless of their gender, then you should have the “right” to be with them. The idea of loving someone and not being able to marry them due to your genders is absurd. I also don’t believe that same-sex marriage means that you’re sinful, loving one another is anything but a sin.

    As the daughter of two Sunday School teachers, I have personal experience with the church attempting to connect with the younger generation. I feel as though that the church wants to welcome the younger generation but they’re actually making the younger generation feel forced or obligated to do so. My church has a youth group that teens may join…[Read more]

    Under the new “President,” the citizens of the US have caused an uproar, especially about the new laws that he is trying to place. Although the US is not technically obligated to accept refugees for other immigrants, our country was built on immigrants which is hypocritical of our “president.” I believe that the immigration process is a bit…[Read more]

    I believe that it’s possible to believe in both in creation and evolution. As a firm believer in God and that he created us and everything surrounding us, I also firmly believe in evolution as well. It would be unfair for somebody to question my faith in my creator, which is God, due to my belief in evolution as well. It is possible to believe in…[Read more]
