Religion or not?

Religion or not?

Currently, there are about 21 major world religions with billions and billions of people following each one of them. Within such diversity, it is not unexpected for people who have committed to one religion to have certain issues with the beliefs and practices of another religion. Recently, we have seen ample evidence of this in the world. Personal disputes, large scale violence, and even wars have developed within the context of groups of people trying to protect and promote one religion over another.

Given that our past history and current events show us that religion has often been associated with and related to violent and unfriendly relations among the world’s peoples, would the world be more peaceful without religions? What is the purpose of religion in the development of individuals? Is it a necessity that we cannot live without? Does it help us grow and move forward in ways that nothing else can? Think about this issue and do some research…what role does religion play within the context of human development?

The heart?

The heart?

Janet was the tallest person in her family. Her brother used to joke with her and tell her she could play Abraham Lincoln in any play because she was tall and lanky just like good old Abe.

Janet was the star center on her high school basketball team. She had always been tall with big hands and long fingers, perfect for snagging the ball on rebounds. Recently, Janet had begun wearing contact lenses because she was having trouble seeing the hoop clearly. The optometrist had diagnosed her with nearsightedness, something that her parents also experienced.

Recently, while practicing basketball with her high school team, Janet experienced some pain in her chest. She mentioned this to her coach, but since it was the beginning of the season and they had recently started practicing, the coach assumed that she had pulled or overworked a muscle. The coach suggested that she take some Tylenol and apply ice to her chest to relieve the pain.

Five minutes in to their first game of the season, Janet experienced dizziness and motioned for the coach to take her out. As she walked to the bench, she lost consciousness and passed out. The referees couldn’t feel a pulse and started CPR while waiting for the paramedics and ambulance to arrive.

When Janet came to, she was in a hospital bed in CCU of the local hospital. The doctors advised her that she likely had a disease called Marfan’s syndrome. As a result of that disease she had experienced cardiac arrest and that she had a mitral valve prolapse.
