Advantages: Very interesting, new and exciting

Disadvantages: I find some parts a bit boring

I do the ‘Philosophy and Ethics’ syllabus for RS and find most of it very interesting.

I am not a religious person at all, so this course is certainly suitable for all sorts of people with all kinds of beliefs and outlooks on life. Since doing RS I have learnt to look at everything that happens in our world, from war, to abortion, to sex and relationships and so on, from a completely different perspective. I have been trained to put my presuppositions, emotions and attachments aside when deciding whether acts such as self-defence, capital punishment and so on are morally acceptable. I’ve also learnt how to formulate a good and powerful arguments to supports my beliefs – and have found myself winning a lots of quarrels since!

The only boring parts of the course have been those studying interpretation of biblical stories but even then, this only takes up a tiny part of the course and studying such a topic has shown me that biblical stories should not just be taken at face value and blindly accepted as ‘ God’s Word’.

RS must be the most interesting subject around that is relevant to life as we know it, and the more people who do it, the better and richer society will be as a result! (Sounds dramatic but is true!) Go on…it’s not as boring as you think it is!!
