Week 3 post B
I am sick of Pi's religious antics! In addition to being Hindu AND Christian, Pi decides to become Muslim too! After meeting a baker who is Muslim, Pi is fascinated by the physical aspect of praying. I believe that it is wrong to practice three different faiths at the same time and I don't know how Pie is going to do it especially when the different faiths' ideals conflict. Because Pi is still young I feel that his curiosity is getting the best of him and that there is no way that he can remain a Hindu, Christian and Muslim at the same time. This does bring up an interesting point that I have long put in the back of my mind. My grandma, is a lot like Pi because she has created her own sort of religion based on what she has read, heard and liked about different religions. When my father asked her what religion she was she didn't give him a straight answer and a hour long debate followed. Today, I often find it hard to take my faith seriously especially when I have taken AP World. After seeing how strikingly similar every faith was and now ridiculous each faith sounded in a textbook, I question the whether each religion is credible or not. Whether true or not, religion and faith has played a crucial part in one's life ever since the beginning of man.
