Enlightening Identity

One student finds ways to connect with Buddhism after studying the religious philosophy in Europe

A student slams a piece of paper down on the front desk at Elliott Hall.
“Who started this?” she demands.
“I did,” replies Ryan Shanabarger from behind the desk.
The paper extrapolates on the First Amendment — particularly as it pertains to religion. While Shanabarger is not entirely sure if it was posted somewhere and if so, who posted it and why, he has an idea that it might be in response to the fliers he put up in Elliott Hall on Tuesday night.
His posters are a call to debate, as he says, about theism and atheism. One of the fliers equates Jesus, Allah and God to Harry Potter. But unlike Harry Potter, the poster reads, these imaginary characters are mean and divisive.
