THIS IS THE INTRSUCTIONS GIVEN BY THE PROFESSOR: PLEASE PICK TWO PROMPTS AND RESPOND TO BOTH IN AT 
LEAST FIVE PARAGRAPHS EACH 
Essay topics
(You will be asked to write a brief essay, in class, on
two of the below. You will not be allowed to copy and paste or use the internet
when taking the exam. So, you will have to write your essay in
class. You can, of course, prepare you essay prior to the exam – there’s
nothing wrong with that!)
1. “What would change
about how we think of ourselves and organize our societies if we gradually
abandoned the labels of religion and moved to the language of ‘mind’ or
‘consciousness’? To follow Emerson: ‘They call it Christianity (or Judaism, or
Islam, or Hinduism, or Buddhism). I call it consciousness.’ What is wrong with
this?” (from Comparing Religions, The Tough Questions, Chapter 2)
2. “Would it change your
relationship to the natural world if you firmly believed that that world was
your larger body? Or God’s body?” (from Comparing Religions, The Tough
Questions, Chapter 4)
3. “How is a religious
experience, say, in a car accident or on a deathbed any different from a
religious experience on a sacred mushroom? Are not fantastic levels of
chemicals operating within your body in both circumstances? So why should we
consider one authentically religious and the other not? Or are simply the
chemicals speaking in both? If your answer is the last one, what does that
mean?” (from Comparing Religions, The Tough Questions, Chapter 4)
