Religion affects the lives of its followers by...
by Edilu Hodson
1. Moral code^
2. Understanding of life>
3. Handling adversity>
4. Christianity's New Testament policies shows many ways how they value and learn to understand life. Every Christian believer has a life goal of making it to heaven. They follow these rules and listens to what there pastors tell them. This is what they believe will guide their path to heaven. They also feel that forgiving others even if they are being threatened or punished by them is important. If they are giving mercy to other they will receive mercy back from god.
5. Hinduism caste system is a good example of there being a moral code. When I think of a moral code, I think about ways a group of people have a structure or rule, and put them into their lives. The caste system basically does that, because there are group of people and each get ranked, and live their lives by what the ranking means for them.
6. Buddhism's Four noble truths are good examples of handling adversity. #1 tells you lots of ways that people suffer. #2 tells you what causes suffering, which is craving for sensual pleasures and existence. #3 and 4 explain how to stop this undesirable craving that is causing suffering. To me handling advertising means solving problems even when you are put in tough situations. This is why I think buddhism is a good example.
