Thesis: Religion welcomes other’s perspectives yet narrows our minds to rivalling views,
making us content with ourselves but not with others.
2nd Argument: Once someone has acquired a mentality of religion, all other beliefs are
passed over.
3rd Argument: People try to influence or change other’s beliefs due to a lack of
satisfaction.
- In “Saint Ralph” Father Fitzpatrick tries to change they way that Ralph
displays himself. Father threatens to send him to a foster home, take away his
education, and even forbid him from competing in the Boston Marathon. He is
so content with his beliefs that he tries to change Ralph’s; reason being is
Ralph does not think or act the same as Father Fitzpatrick. Father’s mind was
not welcome to any other ways of religion; happy with his beliefs but unhappy
with Ralph’s beliefs.
