True story: When I was in high school, I had to take one of those bullshit healthy lifestyle classes, and for one of our projects, we all had to do a brief presentation on different religions - you know, to promote understanding of other people's religious choices.

This one girl remembered to include atheism, but she defined it as "worship of Satan." She was totally cool with it, though, so I guess the project fulfilled its purpose after all.

Reminds me of the "Spirituality & Mysticism" class I took in college. The professor billed herself as a Jewish Zen Buddhist Lutheran, "open to all mindsets!".

Well, I remember the final paper. We all had to write something involving mystics/mysticism. Some did it on Catholic saints, others on the Sufi sect, one even did hers on Bob Marley as a saint of Rastafarianism.

Me?

I wrote a paper debunking certain Christian stories (virgin birth, 666 as the Number of the Beast). The professor flipped her lid...

...until the rest of the class chewed her out as to not being open-minded to skepticism.

I got a B. :)

	Given my professor's age, I'm assuming some "experimentation and parental rebellion" was in her background. --cygnia @ LJ (Reply to this)(Parent)

The worst thing is that I have no trouble believing it. D: (Reply to this)(Parent)

	What, if atheism is worship of Satan, what's paganism? -headscratch- (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
