Peace

Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism seem to all have such simular beliefs!  Karma is a huge factor in so many religions.  You would think the world would be a much more peaceful place when reading this text book, but I guess many people have a hard time following all of what they believe in.

Judism

When we were studing Judism there were some pretty strange things that I learned.  One was, I found that the Jewish have a fear of menstrual blood, they feel they will be contaminated by it.  Anyone who touches a women who is on her period will be considered unclean until night time, and they must wash themselves and wash their clothing.  I failed to find out why women are unclean longer if they have a girl rather than a boy, but I found this website which explains a lot more about everything.  http://www.womenpriests.org/traditio/unclean.asp
