Jesus Saves Assesment

Read the article: "Jesus Shaves" by David Sedaris. Although a humorous essay, what is the important point Sedaris addresses in relation to religious belief? Why is this an important thing to keep in mind when studying religions?

Jesus Shaves addresses the miscommunication and the differences in religions belief in different places. the specific example they give is that when they are describing easter to a student in their french class who has never heard of it, they all have different views on it. In the class, they explain that in France they believe a bell comes from rome and leaves the people chocolate, where in the US a bunny brings chocolate to the children and hides eggs that they can find. The significance of this is that religions are interpreted differently everywhere and that people have different traditions and beliefs in the same religion.
