GOD AND THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
I have a big interest in this topic for many reasons. Both of my parents are Catholic and they have raised me to be Catholic as well. Being Catholic, I have many beliefs in God and his many creations. I went to a Catholic grade school from kindergarten all the way up to the 8th grade. After graduating from the 8th grade, I went to a Catholic high school for all 4 years. So, being surrounded by Catholics, and being taught the religion as a subject in school for 12 years, it has kept me very sheltered. I do not know much about any of the other religions and other beliefs that other people may have. Learning a different view on the creation of the world would be pretty interesting for me, just because I have only known one point of view for my entire life. I am not looking for new beliefs, I am just curious to see what others believe.
THE MEANING OF LIFE
This topic fascinates me because everyone wonders what the meaning of life is from time to time. If not often, we have all thought about it at least once. We all go through these mundane scheduled days, or we may also go through the complete opposite. Some of us may have extremely busy days, while others not-so-busy. It makes me wonder, “What is the point? Why are we doing what we are doing? What is life’s purpose?” I do not think I could even begin to explain what the meaning of life is, so it would be interesting to really go into depth about this topic.

First of all, your blog looks great. Second, I was really intrigued by when you said:
"I am not looking for new beliefs, I am just curious to see what others believe."
This moved me because it made me think; I wonder if a lot of people shy away from even learning about others because they are scared that others will want to change them? I like that you admit that you've been relatively sheltered, yet that you want to learn more. I think it takes a lot of guts to admit that, actually.
So in the spirit of philosophy, let me ask you--do you think being exposed to others' beliefs will change yours? If yes, how and to what degree; if no, how do you think beliefs are changed as we get older?
Great work all around on your part. :) Karla
I chose my topic to be God and the Origin of the Universe, because I have debated this subject for many years and would like to evaluate it further. Did you choose this because you want to see what others believe? It is always amazing to me that everyone on earth is searching this answer. I am O.K. with not knowing... but, it would be cool to know the ultimate truth.
