- Dad, how come there are so many people who believe in religion now? It’s
- so strange!
- Why, what have you seen?
- In that church on the corner, today there were a lot of people
- worshiping. There were young people there too.
- Our law does give the Chinese people freedom of religion. There’s
- nothing strange about that!
- I remember it said in the newspaper that there was some religion in
- South America a lot of people believed in, and the people gave all their
- money to the head of this religion, but he was a bad person who took
- drugs and killed people and did all sorts of crazy things. So I don’t
- think that freedom of religion is necessarily good.
- Religion isn’t a simple thing. It doesn’t have a definite relationship
- to crime. Religion has its independent character; sometimes it’s related
- to politics and culture, and sometimes it isn’t. When you grow up, if
- you’re interested, you can study it.
- “yìzhōng shénme zōngjiào, some religion Shénme here acts as an
- indefinite pronoun modifying zōngjiào and means that the speaker does
- not know how to describe or specify the religion precisely.
- - A: Wǒ tingshuǒ shìjièshang you hěn
- duō bù tóngde zōngjiào, yě you hěn duō you yìside zōngjiào gùshi, zài

- Jiào xūyào hěn duōde zhishi, tèbié shi lìshǐ zhishi, shi hěn you yìside.
- Hǎo le, zhèige wèn-tí women yǐhòu zài tan. Nǐde gōngkè zuòwánle meiyou?
- - A: Hái you yidiǎnr, wǒ mǎshàng
- jiù qù zuò.
- - B: Hǎo, kuài qù ba! Zuòwánle
- gōngkè zài tan.
- A: Hǎo!
- I hear that there are many different religions in the world and that
- there are a lot of interesting religious stories. Some of the stories
- have the purpose of teaching people from good examples, so they’re good
- for people.
- That’s true. To study religion, you need a lot of knowledge, especially
- a knowledge of history. It’s very interesting. All right, we’ll talk
- about this question later. Is your homework done?
- I still have a little. I’ll go do it right away.
- Okay, hurry up! When you’ve finished your homework, we’ll talk some
- more.
- Okay!
