Being holy is quite hard and no matter how hard you try, you can’t just be holy because you need to have a connection with god or the divine, and need to be separated from ordinary people. Also, many saints die extremely painful deaths, such as being hanged and quartered, being drowned, being stoned, and being burned alive. But, there are over 10,000 saints at present day, which really puts in perspective what people will do for religion.]]> 2023-01-19 19:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450293679 Do the religious groups have any animals to represent them?

    Although the answer to the question may seem obvious, it's actually far more complicated than just pure unadulterated curiosity. Even though it might not seem obvious, all intelligent animals exhibit some form of curiosity, so the answer can’t be curiosity, right? Well, yes and no. Curiosity does play an aspect in why we want to know things, but the answer is likely rooted somewhere deep in humanity itself.

Doing traditional prayers are very important, as well as the dietary restrictions. This means that people who believe in Orthodox Judaism are Kosher, These rules are in the Torah. For example, you cannot mix meat products and dairy products together. Women have to cover their hair after marriage, as well as wearing skirts and dresses below their knees, and men keep their beard and both genders are separated in the Synagogue. All of these rules come together to respect the Torah.]]> 2023-01-19 19:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450313897 How did Buddhists know to follow their leader at the start? -Ilina ilinaw101016 https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450315639 Their leader was Siddartha Gautama, who encountered an old man, an ill man, a corpse, and an ascetic, which made him believe that everyone will suffer at the end of their lives. So, he taught others about comprehending the truth of the world around them. He was a normal person, and claimed that he did not take any inspiration or external powers from any Gods. At first, he walked around by foot, spreading his message that he truly believed. Not only would he tell others, but he would get them to convince even more people, rather than just simply believing him and moving on. After time, Siddhartha Gautama got monks to go around convincing even more people, and eventually the belief started expanding further towards eastern Asian lands such as Thailand and Indonesia regions. Siddhartha Gautama worked extremely hard to spread his knowledge, and was all based on his own effort and hard work.

    • When Buddhists wake up they want their day to be meaningful and will start to make their day meaningful. Buddhists will not waste any precious opportunity and work on themselves or go and help others. If Buddhists have to go work they will try to become more concentrated and more productive, they won’t get angry, impatient, or grumpy with other people working or their boss. Buddhists will be friendly with everyone and also will not waste anyone's time with gossip or talking. If Buddhists are looking after their family they will be patient and take care of their families physical needs and emotional needs the best they can.

The Baha’i faith was founded in Iran in the 19th century, at the time there was a shaw, and there were very few laws regarding the Baha’i Faith, but in recent times Baha’is have been executed for their beliefs, and both Sunni and Shia Muslim governments believe the Baha’i Faith to be heretical. Many thousands of Baha’is have been killed living in Iran, over 20,000 of the 400,000 Baha’is are dead. Living as a Baha’i in a Muslim majority country is never fun, nor is it a joke because of its large punishments.]]> 2023-01-19 19:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450318073 How and why did the Jews create Christianity? lewisf100735 https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450323112 They created Christianity by only following Jesus’s teachings.

Monotheism is the belief that there is only one god. The Jewish practice of Identity is that you have to believe in your identity as a Jew, and have a connection to your community (It should be noted that one's Jewish identity is regardless of others' perceptions.)  The Covenant refers to an agreement between God and Abraham, the father of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The agreement said God would provide Abraham and his offspring, which would become the Jews, with shelter and territory, but they had to walk with God's order and circumcise themselves as a mark of the covenant.]]> 2023-01-19 19:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450325929 Why would you follow a religon? ericm100956 https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/rwotryyd9enb4j4f/wish/2450697773 There are many reasons you would follow religion, from “family tradition” to how it affects your life.
