Continuing with this course of questions that ask you to talk about yourself, today we are asked how religion has shaped us. Specifically, when religion remixes, how are we consequently remixed? However, a broader question is posed, so I will choose to answer that one: How has religion remixed itself?
It is my personal belief that religion continues to change. Just look at the current Pope and compare him to past Popes. At one point, religion was a big blanket that everyone was told to believe in. But gradually people began to decide for themselves what they believed. Thus the Church of England split, and now there were Catholics and Protestants! Isn’t that a nice little history lesson! And this line between faiths is still here today causing much conflict in countries like Ireland… Even the religious texts have been remixed to suit the specific branch of faith’s needs. Take for example, the Book of Mormon. The Mormons read/believe both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Plus, there are multiple versions of the Bible, for example the King James version and then the not-King James version. For some reason the King James version is the only one that comes to mind right now. But know that there are other versions.
Sorry guys, I tried to make the picture bigger so you could read all the abbreviations, but it just keeps getting blurry. Here is the hyperlink to the picture if you are curious. It seems to me that religion has been remixed to suit ones needs. *Cough cough* at the King who split the Church of England so he could divorce his wife… And that religion has become more of a business and status symbol than I think it was intended to be.
All this effects me because it opens a whole world of possibilities where we have religions for everything you could possibly believe in. That leaves it up to me to figure out where I stand (if indeed I do stand somewhere in that grand scheme.) As with you, readers. If you’ve found where you stand great! If you haven’t….great! I think this answers the prompt… Until next week, ~V

I really liked how you approached this topic of religious remix, and I completely agree. Essentially religion has changed over the years because the further away we get from where all the beliefs started at the beginning of time, the more new thought processes and “what if’s” evolve, therefore changing our views and emerge into new religions and beliefs. You starting point of sharing the history of religion really sets the tone of understanding to a less critical thought, but then again something that we know just from facts from religion of the beginning of time. Your analytical breakdown of such is a simple factual statement that religion remixes the more time goes and I agree. This is a very creative and simple way of thinking of the topic that most forget about!
