It has been said that
if you are at a party and you tell someone you have a terrible
disease or you are a terrorist, the conversation happily continues.
But, if you tell them you are religious, an icy chill hits the
air.
Peter Kreeft believes that much of this is due to ignorance in the
area of religious studies. His personal pet peeve is the statement:
“All religions are the same deep down.” He states: “That is simply
factually untrue. No one ever makes this claim unless he is:
abysmally ignorant of what the different religions of the world actually teach or
intellectually irresponsible in understanding these teachings in the vaguest and woolliest way or
morally irresponsible in being indifferent to them.”
Why would somebody say “deep down?” What would this “abysmally ignorant, intellectually irresponsible and morally irresponsible” person be trying to say about the human condition? Finally, are “all religions the same deep down?” Is “Deep Down” unchangeable?

A student has a flat board and a small block. From the experiment, he wants to determine the coefficients of static and kinetic frictions.
A) Placing the block on the board, the student raises one end of the board slowly. When the board has a vertical height of 20.0 cm, the block begins sliding down the length of the board, 77.3 cm. Using this information, what is the coefficient of static friction?
B) As the block slid down the length of the board, it accelerated. If it took 1.60s for the block to slide down the full length of the board, calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction.
C) The student now lowers the angle of the board from parts A and B and pushes the block to start it moving. At what angle will the block slide down at a constant speed?
D) The student now sets the board at and angle of 30.0 degrees. As they put the block on the board, they begin pushing on the block, perpendicular to the board, to prevent it from sliding. What is the minimum force needed to do this?
