Rachel H: Priest Jorma: friend Jiwon: friend
 * Empiricism**

Jorma: (Reading Bible/Praying) Amen!

(Jiwon walks in)

Jorma: This is my friend Jiwon and although she is Buddhist I brought her with     me because I think it is a good idea to experience different social communions.

Priest: (Sees Jiwon and Jorma talking, gets angry) People of different religion CAN NOT be friends! (Music) (Priest walks over to Jorma and Jiwon) Jiwon, you are not welcome here. Jorma, you shouldn’t be friends with Jiwon. People of different religions cannot be friends.

Jorma: (alone, thinks about what the priest said. Falls asleep, dreams about Bacon.)

Locke: Hi, Jorma, I am john Locke from the period of enlightenment. I am here to give you a piece of advice, based on the discoveries from my philosophical studies. You should not rely too much on what other people say. Instead of listening to the priest, let your own experiences guide you. Make your own decisions and beliefs about things. Think: empiricism!

Jorma: Empiricism? Whats that?

Locke: Empiricism is making your own decisions based on your experience and observations, instead of listening to what others say.

Jorma: But the priest said that two religions can not mix. Locke: Well, do you agree with him?

Jorma: I’m… uhh… not sure. I am true believer of chritanity, and what the priest tells me had always been a good advice in the past. But I do think that religion should not seperate Jiwon and I.

Locke: If that is what you believe, that will be your decision. Remember not to base your thoughts on what others say and let your experiences guide you. Also remember! That the best knowledge is empirical knowledge and the ONLY knowledge is empirical knowledge!

Jorma: (Wakes up) aha! I realize I should use my own experience to make my decisions instead of listening to the priest’s opinion. The priest shouldn’t be able to control my decisions.

Jorma runs to Jiwon.

Jorma: Hey Jiwon, lets go to the movies this weekend!

Jiwon: Oh. I thought that the priest told us not to be friends since we believe in different Gods.

Jorma: Well, I learned that when making decisions, we should thin kabout empiricism. We should make our own decisions, and not let others make the decisions FOR you.
