The medieval period in history is the period in which
monotheist took root against polytheism and pantheism. It was a
definite transition period that changed the scope of history and
shaped everything from artwork and philosophy to science and
fashion.Imagine if that hadn't happened. Imagine if polytheism
and pantheism had remained strong and Christianity, Judaism,
Islam, and the other monotheistic religions hadn't become
strong. Choose a country in the world and tell what would be
different about that country if monotheism had been just one of
many options in religion rather than the dominant religion of
the state. Each student must pick a different country. Find out
what the native religion of the country was and explain how that
might have effected the development of the nation.
Write at least 20 complete, grammatically correct sentences
about this matter
Respond to a classmate's post after posting your own adding to
their picture if you know any other details about the
development of their country (3 complete, grammatically
correct sentences at least).
student post
If the current dominant monotheistic religions had not been
shoved into the social/political/institutional aspects (the
everythings) of history, religion itself would not have the
influence we see now. Polytheistic and pantheistic religions did
not demand so much force. Seeing God as the Universe
(pantheism) or God in multiple essences (polytheism) had
influence on the people, of course. But the world had not seen
quite such large-scale intimidation before seeing God as one
and as above you. All three dominant monotheistic religions
have been utilized by those in power to oppress the common
people, but Christianity in particular comes to
mind. Christianity has seen epochs of brutal force and fear
strike (western) society. In Europe they did so by instilling fear
of GOD; the fear of hell. Beyond just that, the powerful
convinced the people that in order to be Good and go to Heaven,
one must abide by the rules of their institution. They must go to
church and listen to a (man) spew lies about the Bible and how
one must live their lives. This European influence followed the
very foundation of the United States of America! It is in GOD
that we trust not in many. Christianity has been the justification
for what the powerful deem acceptable. It has been used in the
U.S. to justify things from the oppression of woman to the
subjugation of blacks to the abuse of immigrants and the
persecution of gays. But it is the fear and the misguidance of a
seemingly all powerful institution that destroys the name of
Christianity. Had it not been for Christianity, all this would be
different and far less rampant. Or at least the justification
would not be so strong and influential because the religious
institutions would not have been such a powerful force to begin
with. People would not have been fed such potent lies.
