So...I've decided along with majoring in Environmental Studies I might also major in Religion (with a concentration in Asian Studies).
I know this might surprise...pretty much everyone. I don't seem like the religious type do I? Nothing has changed... I haven't had this profound revelation that told me I must preach or anything. I still don't believe in one religion. That doesn't mean I have no interest in religion. Humanities was my favorite class, you know. Even the philosophy stuff.
I feel that in order to understand people better...I should understand their religions better. I don't want be the devout religion major who knows the bible front to back...I don't want to be the religion major who looks at religions in a purely scholarly way either. I just want to be the religion major who understands an interesting aspect of the world better.
Even though I'm not a religious person myself, religions fascinate me. The teachings, the beliefs, the philosophies, the controversies, the inconsistencies...it just interests me.
It's hard to describe exactly why I want to be a religion major.
It's just all part of my plan to save the world. No need to worry.

Update: Not really going to be a religion major.
ReplyDeleteRealized it's going to be a really biased education at a Lutheran school.
