  • Essay / Religions of Escambia - 969

    This land called Escambia is filled with strange and interesting beings. The religion of this land varies. There are approximately 249 churches http://www.city-data.com/county/religion/Escambia-County-FL.html in Escambia Country, each with a different title in religion. About 53% of Escambia are associated with some type of religion. http://www.bestplaces.net/religion/county/florida/escambia Religions I have noticed in Escambia include; Catholic, Muslim, Latter-day Saints, Southern Baptist, Episcopalian, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Jewish, Eastern, Islam, Ethiist, Nondenominational, Buddhism, Hindu, Baha'i, Zoroastrian, Mennonite, and Scientology. Each of these religions is different in its opinions, beliefs and customs. I bring the three main religions of the country of Escambia back to my galaxy. The three major religions in Escambia County include: Catholic, Southern Baptist Convention, and nondenominational. Given the southern location of this land, I am not surprised at the main types of religions studied. I'll start with the Catholics. Catholics believe that Jesus is the son of God.

You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain3. Remember to keep the Lord’s day holy4. Honor your father and your mother5. Thou shalt not kill6. You shall not commit adultery7. You shall not steal8. You will...... middle of paper ......qual is the perfect example of conflict theory.

As for the interactionist approach, which is the most major perspective in sociology, some interesting studies have been found. The Escambia take everything they learn from their religion and apply it to their daily lives and interact with others. A good example would be the ten commandments of the Catholics. One of the commandments is: thou shalt not kill. Because of this commandment, in this religion, it is completely immoral to kill others. The conclusion, everyone has different beliefs and religions. What is important is that the country of Escambia uses its differences to come together and work as a whole..
