1. My God Is Better Than Your God
2. How cults rewire the brain -Diane Benscoter
Look around you: how many different churches professing different faiths within the same religion exist within a 3-mile radius for where you live? Are you familiar with any of them? What are the main differences is the ways each professes their faith? Pick three of these churches and do some research on their differences and similarities.
A frog lived in a well. It had lived there a long time. One day another frog, which lived in the sea, came and fell into the well. "Where are you from?" the first frog asked. "I am from the sea", the second one said. "The sea! What is it like? Is it as big as my well?". The second tried to describe how impossibly big was the sea and leapt to the other side of the well and said to the other frogs, "What nonsense this frog is speaking to compare the sea with your well." But the frog in the well retorted "Nothing can be bigger than my well. There can be nothing bigger than this. This fellow is a liar, so turn him out."
What are the implications of this story in relation to the framework of the discussion we have had in class up to this point?
Write a two-page paper explaining the story and research findings on three different churches.
