In Class: My Ethical Appeal Object

Well, let me just say that this object will cause an ethical appeal or just a plain annoyance to some. I brought the Bible. I really think that this causes an ethical problem in some because one time in sixth grade, I brought my Bible to school to read in English class. The teacher said we could bring anything we wanted to so I decided to bring the Bible since I was studying it at the time. Well, I accidentaly left it at school one day and when I went back to my English class, the teacher humiliated me in front of the whole class for bringing a "silly" book. Being only 12 at the time, that really hurt my feelings so I never even talked about my religious views until my second eyar of high school when I joined the Christian group at my high school where we would go and pray out in the front lawn one day out of the week. I never really WANT to make a statement about my religion, but I feel like I should be able to express it without others judging me.

I have never judged or made fun of someone else's religion and I always thought I should be treated the same in return. Unfortunately though, that's not always the case but I have gotten over being insecure about it and just don't care what others think anymore.

I think the Bible might make others feel uncomfortable and might make others be disgusted in me but either way, that's their choice.

The whole reason why I brought the Bible in as my ethical appeal object is because everyone is really touch about this subject and everyone is usually hush hush about it. The Bible does hit others in a certain way and sometimes even causes controversy. It's really hard to explain why I chose to bring the Bible as my ethical appeal object because the Bible means something to me. I don't see as something that might cause an uproar between me and others but I know that in other people's eyes, the Bible is seen as fake and they don't care to hear anything about the Bible or anything about God for that matter. Liek I said though, it's fine to me what others think about it now because some choose to believe in other Gods or choose to see Christianity in a different way.

I may not be answering your question fully on why I brought the Bible as my ethical appeal object. I know that the Bible will cause disagreements upon others and I think that's the main reason why I chose to bring the Bible to class.
