Welcome to my purple world...

The faith of the world

Just for you to know I got my English essay back. Yes... The one about "To kill a mockingbird". I got a B- and threw it in the trash immediately. Haha.

Recently I have been really interested in religion. So now Yasmin and I are working on this project about it. We decided to call it "The Faith of the World". We are going to study four religions:

Christianity
It's all around us and it seems very interesting to study. I'm supposed to be Christian, but I know nothing abut it. I would also like to find out about the difference between the Orthodox and the Catholic Church.

Islam
I studied it a little bit last year and I don't know much about it. I have many questions about it.

Buddhism
Actually, Buddhism is a way of life and not exactly a religion. It seems very interesting to me.

Hinduism
It looks very interesting to study and it is very different from the other three. Most of the books I borrowed from the library are about it so I hope I'm going to have enough information.

The maximum time to study a religion is a month. (And a minimum is a week.) We're also planning on visiting different places (Cathedrals, churches, etc.) and maybe even libraries. We can also interview others and ask for opinion
Yesterday, I went to the school library at lunch and got six fat books about Christianity and religion in general. At home (instead of doing my history haha) I read some of them and wrote stuff in my notebook. I made a quick summary of the life of Jesus and what Christians are. Today I'm going to continue.
Wish me luck!
