All information must be recorded and reported back to the high superiors of the secret planet. Upon landing on Earth, observations will be on behaviors,activities, and beliefs. There will be three areas of the planet observed. The first will be one of the biggest areas called North America, second will be Africa, and the third will be Asia. As the mothership lands on the first of three locations to be observed, reporting will commence. On the area in North America known as the south or southern area, the researcher observes that this area has many different religious beliefs and practices. But in general they all believe in one thing “God”. As the researcher learns, the God they all believe in have some form of the same worship practices. Christians worship with prayer and gatherings on Sundays and read from a book called The Bible. Baptist does the same, although they have more singing during their worship hour.Catholics, Baptists, Christians, all say that God had a son named Jesus. The son named Jesus had lived a pure life and died for the sins of everyone. People believe that praying to him would help solve their problems.

...Life of Planet Earch World Religions ROIVAS’S PILGRAMIAGE TO EARTH ------------------------------------------------- Integrity is generally defined as the adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. This is the primary belief by which the inhabitants of planet Roivas live. They worship one deity, Halla and follow the principles of life as chronicled in their holy book- the Sadev. Roivasians are beings of various races that live modest lifestyles and have a strong sense of community. Although most of them are natives of Roivas, there is a large, rapidly growing population of immigrants from other worlds who came to Roivas seeking a life of equality, health, and harmony. On Roivas there is no crime, pollution or disease. The planet and all of its resources are sacred. The people are happy and healthy. There is only one religion practiced on Roivas. People called tehporps are used as vessels by Halla to interpret and share the principles of the Sadev with the masses. On Roivas, there are also people known as selpicsids who are scholars of the Sadev who assist the telporps as needed. ------------------------------------------------- Because of the rapid population growth on Roivas, it was decided that explorations to other worlds would be necessary to identify places to expand the Roivasian culture. One team consisting of a tehporp, named Dercas and 12 selpicsids was assembled to journey to earth to evaluate the culture and...

...Religious Life Of Planet Earth Discuss the criteria you will employ to determine if people on earth are religious-in other words, what does religion look like? People long to make sense of life; to find the key that will unlocks its mysteries and enable them to understand themselves and their place within the universe. Faced with their own fragility and death, they seek courage and comfort. Longing to develop and create, they seek inspiration. In this human quest for meaning, some take to philosophy, others to the creative arts, and others- in fact the majority of humankind-take to some form of religion. Almost every aspect of life can become the raw material out of which a religious interpretation of life may be built. Each religion presents us with a particular view of life, expressed in its teachings, scriptures, and traditions. But is it necessary to be committed to that religion in order to understand and appreciate what it teaches. Describe three examples of behaviors or beliefs you observe that meet the criteria you established above. One example would be for one to experience religion. If there were no religion, there would be no philosophy of religion. If there were no religious experiences there would be no religion. Religion, unlike most philosophy, starts with the interpretation of experience, with trying to make sense of life as a whole, or of particular things that happen. Very few people who call themselves religious spend their days reflecting on...

...Five Steps To Repeat Booking Success In an article entitled "Five steps to repeat booking success," in hotelmarketing.com of December 01 2009, Dr Des O'Mahony wrote about the significance of customers to the hotel industry and vice versa in a notion called the Life Time Value . He pointed out that there is a direct relationship between hotel services to customers and future gains or loses . He thereafter made the assertion that hotel services and customer satisfaction are vital factors in creating the Life Time Value . I hereby deduce that its only through the quality of services provided to customers by hotels which determines their credibility and profitability . In my opinion , he is right because he forwarded certain factors to support his assertion . He maintained that its vital for the reception staff to be absolutely professional creating a lasting first impression as the customers walk in . He went to say that without this attribute of great first impression there might be unpleasant monetary consequences for example the customers might go and never come back or vice versa . Also he reiterated that in an age of growing trend in technology , hotel businesses must upgrade their online services as well as offline to meet with customer demands like virtual tours or booking . Futhermore, Dr Des O'Mahony, recommended that hotel businesses should consider having conversation forums to view reviews from customers .This he said will enhance the relationship...

In almost every aspect of live most people seek some kind of courage, comfort and inspiration in some kind of religion. Religion is the practices and traditions of a belief system that is based on the belief of a higher power, and or the supernatural. At the very least, for a person to be religious, they need to not only believe in a higher power, but participate in some sort of traditional activity like prayer, communion, and attending church. The criteria that I would look for to see if people on earth are religious would be looking to see how committed people are to their religion and its traditions. Describe three (3) examples of behaviors or beliefs you observe that meet the criteria you established above. Prayer Prayer is a very important part of any religion Something “as simple as praying is, it is very important. There is a familiar saying among those in a religious environment and that is: "no prayer no power, little prayer little power, much prayer much power." What prayer really entails is communication with God.”(wiki.answers.com). Prayer on a daily basis can have an impact and...

Religion is based on beliefs and how people act based on those beliefs. Religion is a means to explain the purpose of life and it involves a system of belief and practices shared by a group of people. So, in all cultures there are rules, ideals of perfection and the theories concerning how did man come into existence, just to name a few. Based on my criteria I found there is a lot of traditions and many different forms of religion on Earth. There are four major types of religion which all cultures are labeled under such as; super naturalism, animism, theism and abstract ideas. Super naturalism is the belief system believes in supernatural forces that can influence human events. Animism is a belief in spirits and ghost that take interest in human affairs. Theism is the practice of believing in divine beings such as God’s or Goddess that shape and influence human affairs. So therefore Gods are powerful being who are worthy of worship and praise. Most theistic societies practice polytheism which implies the belief in a number of Gods. Each God or Goddess usually has influence in a particular...

When discussing religion people tend to embrace the conversation because there are so many different types of religion. Examining the religious beliefs of Christianity the question is asked are people religious? Some people can say that religion depends on the ethical or racial upcoming from childhood experiences, but religion is often taught from a close relative or just a family tradition. Some people suggest that religion attracts to people. People turn to religion for several reason but most of these reasons are based on need. For instance the need for honor, idealism, acceptance, but some people turn to religion because of curiosity. These reasons according to Reiss from Columbia’s university people “People are not drawn to religion just because of a fear of death or any other single reason, according to a new comprehensive, psychological theory of religion.” From this reason alone people have an emotional connection to religion or just believing there is a (higher power) on earth. •Describe three (3) examples of behaviors or beliefs you observe that meet the criteria you established above. One reason for belief in religion is to have something to worship or calm as an ideal. Most people give respect to what is sacred in their lives. When an auto mechanic...

...Religion refers to a set of beliefs of people regarding the cause, the character and the purpose of the universe, containing moral codes that govern the behaviors of human beings. It can also be termed to as a set of human beliefs and practices that are agreed upon a group of people (Haught, 1990). There are many religions in planet earth such as Christian religion, Islam religion, Buddhism and Hinduism. All these religions are different in terms of what they believe and practice. These disparities cause conflicts among the religions as each religion believes that it is the best. It is with this observation that I decided to undertake a keen study of these human beings to understand the role of their different religions in their lives. In order to get accurate data to help determine the religious life of people of planet earth, various methods of data collection were used. These include interviews which were carried out on different individual from different parts of planet earth. The individuals were inquired about their religion and their views about other religions. Observation as also employed to follow the behaviors of the different people practicing different religions on earth. Majority of the people on planet earth is religious most of all being Christians followed by Muslims and then Hindus (Haught, 1990). It was also noted that people from poorer nations considered religion important than those from richer nations (Hansen, 2011). Generally, each religion has a different...

...My Visit to Planet Earth Roshaun Dennis ENG 315 4/29/12 I was sent to planet earth to determine if people here are religious. In order to get this information I had to interview people from all backgrounds, beliefs, and regions of the planet. I lived among the people in every continent of the planet and ate their food. I practiced their religion with them. This report is my assessment of what religion looks like. My journey to planet earth has left me with some concerns about the people and the religious practices. I went there to determine if the people on earth are religious. What I found was pretty solid evidence that people on planet Earth are very religious by nature. They believe in a higher power and attend weekly services where they worship their god. For many religion is a way of life, it gives them an identity. Religious beliefs and rituals are often passed down from generation to generation. When this happens there is no true way to validate the information. Therefore it becomes somewhat of a myth, a special story that seems to make sense. I found this behavior to be strange, but it was prevalent in every religion on earth. The function of religion on Earth seems to vary depending on cultural belief and background. Some religious followers live their entire lives through their interpretation of religious texts and teachings, while others live life and incorporate religion where it works best for them. This power of influence makes it easy for...

...Is Planet Earth A Religious Planet? Kevin R. Graves Religion 212 Professor Farnham Strayer University 02/03/12 Is planet earth a religious planet? On the surface it would appear that it is. There are rituals, ceremonies and traditions that the people of earth follow in accordance with their respective religions. On the other hand, in some religions there is corruption, and misdeeds. Also, there are wars fought in the name of religion, which makes me think that religion is not a good thing. In this report, I will be reporting on five of the earth’s 20 major religions. I will be exploring their customs, practices and functions. Along the way, I will comment on the negative aspects of the religion, if any. The ultimate goal of this report is to determine if earth is a religious planet. I started my journey in the East, where I studied Christianity. In Christianity, the people attend church every Sunday or chose to worship at home in their own way. Christianity is a monotheistic religion and the people worship a higher power called God. The people of Christianity follow Ten Commandments that states: Thou shall not, steal, kill, lie, worship Idols, use the lord name in vein, commit adultery, covet what your neighbors have, and in addition to that, one should honor thy Parents, and keep the Sabbath holy. These Commandments are found in the Christian Bible, which is a collect of ancient scriptures, that the Christians hold as the Word of God. Christians...

...Religion on Planet Earth Name: Institution: Date: The purpose of this report is to explicate the nature of religion on earth and the specific functions attached to it. Further, the paper seeks to get an insight it the major beliefs surrounding religion on planet earth and how followers attach various meaning to these beliefs. In order to get an insight into the nature of religion, the paper looks at the various religions and their spatial distribution, common beliefs and the meaning or function attached by the followers to these religions. Different religions are practiced on planet earth and whilst some of them are universal in regard to spatial settings, others are only found in some specific geographical regions. For example, Christianity is one of the major religions found on earth and is based on the teachings of Christ Jesus who according to the beliefs of Christians was the son of God. In essence, God is seen as the supernatural being behind each and every aspect of the universe. Islamic is also another major religion that though differing with Christianity on some major beliefs also holds that there is a supernatural being known as Allah. As opposed to Christ, Muslims as the followers of this religion are known believe that Allah sent his prophet Mohammed to come and teach the good words of Islam on the planet (Om Sakthi, 2010). Despite these differences, the two religions do belief in life after death meaning that there will be resurrection of the dead at...

...Report on the Religious life of Planet Earth Joan C. Mercieca Strayer University Religion 212 – World Religions Dr. Lawrence Ruddell April 28, 2012 I recently traveled to the planet called Earth to ascertain if people and the planet are religious and what they practice in the aspects of religion. I will give you examples of behavior or beliefs I observed during my visit on Earth. The first thing that I saw was that Earth and its people are separated by many religions and variations of religions. What I mean by this is currently Earth has about forty three hundred belief systems and within these beliefs there are many different sects (Fisher, 2011). According to Barrett (2000), I looked at there are twelve classical major world religions. Babi and Baha'i faiths, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism (Fisher, 2011). There are many other religions on earth but Christianity is the largest. Christianity comprises of Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodox. What I have observed from Christianity is that they have different sects within. Christian’s believe that there is one God who is supremely powerful and knowing. Christian’s beliefs sounded bizarre to me because they believe that anything is possible if they believe in this God. These Christians believe that their God made the Earth, heavens and animals in six days and...
