What is time and how should we make use of it? Time is observed by Muslims, Jews, and Christians religions as moving forward “in a straight line from the beginning of the universe until its end” (Molloy, Michael. Experiencing the World's Religions: Tradition, Challenge, and Change / Michael Molloy. New York: McGraw-Hill Companies, 2013, pg. 15). Time is valued since it is not guaranteed. Buddhism views time as periodic. Changes in the universe continue over large extents of time. Buddhist’s do not value time, as much because they do not think it’s “real”, they believe that the universe will not end. They like to live more in the present rather than worry about the future. Why do human beings exist? Islam, Judaism, and Christianity view that humans exist because they are included in a divine plan. Even though each person is different it has a purpose to help complete the universal plan. “The plan may be viewed as a struggle between forces of good and evil, with humans at the center of it and the forces of good and evil at work within them.”(Molloy, Michael.

Their actions are influenced by traditions, obligations, and society rather than morals. What should we hold as sacred? What should be kept scared is explained differently through various religions. Scared defines things to be “holy” such as locations, objects, and theories in that particular religions to have a relation of phenomena or divine nature. The nature of scared is also looked at as transcendent or immanent. Transcendent is viewed as existing generally “in a realm beyond the everyday world.” Immanent “is within nature and the humans can be experienced as energy or holiness. (Molloy, Michael.

Some of the human needs served by religion are ethics, rituals, community, and beliefs. Ethics give humans rules to abide by. It gives them guidance on how to interact properly in society. Rituals are traditions that religions practice as a form of worship. For example a Roman Catholic should attend a mass on Sunday’s every week. At mass there are readings from the Bible and the traditional ceremony of the Eucharist as Jesus gives himself to the people. What I get out of the masses are listening to the messages the readings try to get across and the Homily which is when the
