AGREE, DISAGREE OR BOTH1. Religion helps people deal with death.I agree, that religion makes people feel a bit more comfortable with death because Humans are filled with pride and are uneasy with the thought of one day perishing, for good. Most religions believe in some type of life, after death. This idea comforts our fear of a definite end giving us something to look forward to after death.2. Religion’s primary concern is death.I don’t agree with the statement that death is the origin of religion. I think that death is discussed a great amount in religion, because we are so afraid of that and we want our fears to comforted, but I believe that religion focuses more on how you’re suppose to live rather than what happens when you die. Religion gives us guidelines to life, happiness and so on.NOMOS (ordering) / ANOMO’S / ANOMOIEWhy don’t we deal with corpse anymore … why do we focus more on death >Gary Laderman (The Business of Death)Post Civil War – Germ Theory – ContaminationPeople began burying bodies with things(Retainer Burial- Powerful people het – maids, slaves, chefs- killed so they can be buried with them)Perspective Notes 02/05/2014AGREE, DISAGREE OR BOTH 1.
