Day 31: Thursday Classwork

Well, today I have to use my blog for classwork, so were it is:

1. Top 5 Religions

Christian: 31.4%
Muslim: 23.2%
Hindu: 15%
Buddhist: 7.1%
Jewish: 0.2%

2. Abraham was respected in all the three religions.
In Judaism, he was the person with a Covenant, a special relationship with god.
In Christianity, his faith in god made him a prototype of all believers.
In Islam, Muhammad said that Abraham had a special relationship with god and the covenant.

3. I found that the practice of indulgence is to perform an action for god, in order to receive a lesser punishment for your sins. I believe that Martin Luther objected this, because it was not the correct to practice your religion, and he disagreed with the logic of an indulgence.
