Blog #7-Chapter 7-Worship

A huge part of the Jewish, Early Christian, and Byzantine art was and is religion. However, in my life, religion is not a huge part of it. I listen to other peoples views on religon, beilefs, how they think- but do not have strong feelings on any of it. When reading chapter seven places of worship were shown and talked of which got me thinking about my place of worship. If I was to name a place that I go to "my place of worship" it would have to be either my bedroom or Affordable Treasures. I work at Affordable Treasures, it's a party and more store in Los Gatos. I wouldn't say I worship the store, what I mean is I spend a lot of time there, put a lot of my efforts into what I do there, and it's a place of good means- if that makes sense. Our main goal is to make costumers happy, answer their questions, help them get their party supplies, help them fill a goodie bag for a group of kids the ages 5-12- whatever it is, consider it done and done well at Affordable! Anyways, this- and my bedroom where I take time for myself to either watch television, study, lay down and reflect, sleep, etc- these are my places of worship. Where are your places of worship? Maybe your church? Your gym? Your school? Imagine a place of worship for people totally into TV, just a bunch of TVs and talks about television..people giving speeches and "preeching" sort of speak about different things shown in the media- would people go? Or is this sort of mocking religion? I don't know, just some thoughts.
