How Do Religious Symbols And Attitudes

Religious Symbols and Attitudes Assignment

I chose to use a total of ten symbols all incorporated into one symbol designed and drawn by me (on Microsoft Paint). The entire symbol has eight points and looks like the star of David with two extra triangles on top. I chose to use the star of David to represent the religion of Judaism and then I added the two extra points to make an eight pointed polygon, to incorporate the eight spoked wheel of Dharma. The top right point is colored red to represent the North and the bottom left point is blue to represent the South. At the top is a symbol of the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster to represent Pastafarians and Atheism. The top left point has the letter S going through the golden letter D looking shapes for the symbol of Scientology. To the top right inside of the red point is a Pentagram

to represent Satanism and Satanic rituals.

The green triangle with golden eye on the bottom left corner side of the Pentagram, represents the all seeing eye or, eye of providence. Below the all seeing eye is the Om to represent Hinduism. Beside the Om, is a swastika to represent Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism, which all use this symbol. The left side of the star has a gold crescent moon, with a five point star beside it, this symbol represents the religion of Islam. The final symbol used is the cross. The cross is split down the middle of the star dividing the star into four sections. The entire star has a circle drawn around it. The circle represents the unity of all symbols. There are many blobs of color floating around outside of the circle but none of them make it inside. I did this to show that together when religions stand in unity, they can block out everything else,

and remain in a peaceful and content state.
I believe it is important for the various religions of the world to be connected and have an understanding of each other because, with confusion comes chaos, so to eliminate confusion would essentially eliminate the chaos that religions tend to have nowadays. When someone can fully understand what you are trying to output, then often times they will accept it, and move on. When someone doesn't understand something, they will question it or get mad, because they don't comprehend it, which causes chaos and disruption. So for everyone and everything to fully understand each other, would ultimately bring world peace. Humans don't tend to agree with everything, and that's why people have different beliefs, but, that doesn't mean that they can't accept the fact that other people believe in different things. As long as someone's beliefs don't harm anyone else then there is nothing wrong with what they choose to think.
When studying, or learning about other religions the attitude of pessimism should always be avoided. One should look at learning about new religions with an open and ready to learn mindset. You won't learn anything new, if you tell yourself you don't want to. The only way to achieve new knowledge is by first wanting to obtain that knowledge, then the will to learn is present, opening up the path for enlightenment.
