Today, I came home from OSU and I was extremely happy. The campus was almost deserted, resembling a old western movie. When I first started watching the series Dollhouse I never thought that it would eventually lead to my topic of religion. In Dollhouse it is very technology oriented and religion was one of the last subjects I expected to see. The implications of my episode, “True Believer” and my real world phenomenon is that the episode allows me to see another side of religion. Usually my viewpoint of religion is very skewed and biased and having spent very little time in church I have another perspective to consider. It has allowed me to see all the positive aspects when concerning religion as opposed to only the negative aspects (in my opinion and view). From my research and from analyzing my episode I see that not everyone perceives information the same. Upbringing greatly defines you like; in no ways can some ideas change how you think. I think that although some actions and implications may be deemed immoral by some religious communities; that it is only some. In no way can you truly generalize religion and get the right point across. You will not give the topic justice. One can try; but although most religions are founded on the same beliefs there is still a vast difference in almost all.
I agree that the way you are brought up defines you. We talked about it in psych. It's a really cool topic.
