Who are some significant religious people for this religion?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; What are some significant writings?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; What are some beliefs of this religion?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; Are any of the beliefs similar to beliefs of other religions?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=20316" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rome 6</title><link>http://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/communities/worldtalk2/archive/2007/11/07/20110.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Nov 2007 22:38:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">ce563765-8c4f-48c5-9ecb-1415acd4ed34:20110</guid><dc:creator>jcolantuono</dc:creator><slash:comments>20</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/communities/worldtalk2/comments/20110.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/communities/worldtalk2/commentrss.aspx?PostID=20110</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/power/emp.cfm"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#427a3e"&gt;http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/power/emp.cfm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/justice/index.cfm"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#427a3e"&gt;http://&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/justice/index.cfm"&gt;&lt;font color="#427a3e"&gt;www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/justice/index.cfm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#800080"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/goldenages/roman.cfm"&gt;http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/goldenages/roman.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/goldenages/roman.cfm"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;
