I think this statement is interesting. I believe that everyone was made in God's image and should be viewed as a child of God. While it can be hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of there being more than two genders, I cannot make a valid argument because it is not something I experience. Therefore, it is not my place to state if it is wright or wrong. I think people who identify as Catholic should just be classified as that and not a certain type of Catholic.

I can see how this could be viewed as transphobic and anti-LGBTQ. With any community of that size, acts that get rid of something they identify with no matter what the scenario will be viewed as attacking in some way. That is especially true with this deep topic.

This line is very important as it is something that is often overlooked. While it may be passed over, it is one of the best ways to better yourself and the world around you. By paying it back, you can bring joy to others and yourself.

I think this line is very important. It brings up the point that we cannot do everything on our own. It is vital that we work with others so that we can succeed. This goes far deeper than just a biological statement.

These few lines along with the rest of the passage serve as a harsh awakening. I feel like many people do not usually think about they might harm God's creation and this passage tells us what the consequences might be.

This comparison is an effective way to start the passage but also makes complete sense. While we have much power over a worm on the ground, God has much power over us. He can easily make decisions about our fate just as we can with a worm.

I think this line is very interesting. I have heard many times that the world is a gift but never thought much of it. When the idea of reciprocity is brought in, it makes you think of what can do in return for the world. Or in other words, how you can pay it back.

I like how the author puts this. When you think of an economy, you might think of buyers and sellers. It is similar in this "gift economy" sense. The buyers could be referred to as the gratitude while the sellers could be thought of as the reciprocity.

This passage is both important and interesting. It states many of the things that one is to avoid if they are trying to live a "holy" or non-sinful life. While no one is without sin, they can always put effort into avoiding these actions.

This short line is very important as it is one of if not the most important idea in Christianity. Anybody who has even a little knowledge when it comes to Christian faith could tell you that there is one God in this practice. People who are theologists of this religion will say that God is the ultimate creator.

This passage is important as it is a step in the right direction to all the separation that is in the world. One of the biggest debates is Religion vs. Science and this shows that maybe the two don't have to be completely separate. If this debate could be settled, it could be a spark for other debates like this one to be looked at in a different, better way.

I very much agree with this passage. It seems that in todays world, there is more separation than ever. When it comes to truths, everyone has different thoughts but the biggest setback in my opinion is values. Everyone believes that their values are the right ones which leads to a lot of conflict.

I think the part where the author talks about how we get to decide what has meaning to us is important. It is important because it is what makes us unique. By choosing what is important and has meaning, we can accomplish such a wide variety of things because there is so much passion for so many different things.

I believe that in today's world people are often caught up with arrogance. Rarely do people take time to step back and try to think about things in someone else's point of view. everything is about themselves. By looking at situations in different pov's, we can really allow ourselves to think.
