Artical 2 Summary

Clifford Geertz argues that all religions have their rules and regulations, but none of them enforce it like they use to.  He claims that in today's society, no one is really devoted to their religion, but instead, they only care about what they need to get done and what they wish to do.  Geertz develops this claim by first explaining how he believes what the difference between a "Believer and a Want-To-Believer".    Geertz explains that most religions are based on theorems, although he means it not to offend people, he tells how everyone religion needs to be "...put into place by the man."  Geertz purpose is to explain how others are going in the right track, but others could still use some help.  This work is significant because the harder that someone works with their god, the more spirituallyconnected they think they are getting.  He states that if you have a religion and you are not in tune to it, now days is the time to get devoted. 

In this article, the credibility of the source is lacking evidence because it is off topic some.  I tried to piece it together so that other people could understand, but it was still not a credible source.  The author, Geertz , may talk solely about his opinion, but he influences many people to follow what he says.  This article is very bias, and it is not credible for my research except where I could find where he got other information about other topics. Although he is very opinionated, he can make very good points in his article.  This assisted my blog by adding information about another opinion, and turning it into a fact related article that helped change the views on the topic.
