CMNS 304W Lecture 11: Critical Discourse of Religion
Document Summary
Listening in the beginning: my sweet lord george harrison. His goal was to be able to translate, in a pop language, something he"d been learning in his religious & musical studies. Although to most people it sounds like a pop song, there"s an accent and whatnot. University: biases who are mostly critical of religion, extremely anti-religion, not warranted to the study of philosophy. Religion is a major factor in everyday life, in western societies. In our time and place, christianity is the dominant voice in religion. Lots of ideas of christianity, lots of shades of grey: religious discourse in an increasingly secular society misrepresents or confuses different religious beliefs and practices. Some mention that there"s no answer to it, or that it"s infinite. Age of universe is infinity coming back to the big bang, measuring the time happening before time, it"s infinite. Another possible answer: 24 years (like, one"s lifespan) because that"s all i know for certain.
