Bible study- non muse event#2

My event was mon. 16 and the event was bible study in hoover hall. The book we use for the event was Jesus without religion. We do this event every monday, and we speak and talk about issues that freshman are having difficulty with. Last monday we talked about how being non violent and turning the other cheek. Now at some point our society tells us to stand up and fight back. And that our world will be horrible if everyone never fought back. But looking at the perspective isn't that what jesus did? He took the beating cursing and other assaults and did nothing to the victimization. And if we are just trying to be like Jesus, shouldn't we do the same. I personally have this issue because i don't give a rats ass about anyone and being Christian i am not doing what i am supposed to do. But it is a conflict of whats more important. the society that i live in? or my religion? because they are telling me to do different things. Its an issue that concerns me and i talked with the people in the group about. It was a good Monday, i learned a lot.

Music Review

My music review is on War by Edwin Starr. It is a compelling song that i have heard over the years but have never really looked up the lyrics. And once i did i had a completely different view and perspective. In the song he constantly talks about what war is good for " absolutely noting"
He gives his own opinion about war and how it only destroys. it can never create. I related this song because for one i understand how music is an outlet for many people to express there own opinions to other people. And how music is directly connected to the youth. So in this song he is talking to the youth telling them to not listen to the old telling them to fight and die but rather create peace and understand life is "too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days".
It does create an one sided opinion and i understand that some things are worth fighting for. but at the same time it always depends what your fighting for and how you fight.
