I really enjoyed reading Krista's blog. I did not consider that you can tweak a first impression online so much. I did realize that you craft a first impression into whatever you would like it to be, but I did not consider that you can change this impression before submitting it if you do not like how it turns out. I also did not consider that there are so many different types of first impressions when meeting in person. This was a very good point to bring up, and I think it was great to point out that first impressions really do come down to each and every student. When talking about if people can be good without God, I think it is a personal opinion, no matter what studies may say. They may prove that people who believe in God act differently than people who do not, but I think it depends on a personal definition of what "good" is and what kind of impact God has on your life.
I completely agree with Lauren Angulo's discussions about being able to get to know each other even through an online class. Although it may be harder to get to know someone becasue we may never know if they are really telling the honest truth about who they are, there are some aspects that may allow us to get to know a person better. For example, someone may be able to express their feelings in writing better than they would in person, and an online class allows this writing to occur. I completely agree that morals are made beyond just religious beliefs, but I don't completely agree that someone can be good without God. They may have excellent morals and live a fulfilling life, but I do think that it is necessary to have God in your life to be "good."
