Message from Professor:

Hey Everyone,

I’m hoping we can each jump in with initial posts early this week. Thought I’d kick us off.

As I’m thinking about this week’s discussion post – I came across a brief read dealing with religion. Lea Surugue writes about how she believes spiritual people that believe in the supernatural suppress critical thinking. Take a few minutes to read and let me know in a few sentences what you agree or disagree with and why. Thanks.
