Religion is an organized system of belief that generally seeks to understand purpose, meaning, goals, and methods of spiritual things. These spiritual things can be God, people in relation to God, salvation, after life, purpose of life, order of the cosmos, winning the lottery. Whatever.

exellent response, now...

what is worship?

Worship usually refers to specific acts of religious praise, or devotion, typically directed to said supernatural powers or entities. This can usually take the form of prayer, rituals, sacrifices. Today these rituals usually involve televangelists begging for money or people begging for their life.

most exellent. Now, if you bring me 100 words on the fear of death for next class, you will be more caught up then most.

Right. Fear of Death.

*scratches head and looks away*

I know something about that. So. Tuesday, right?

[OOC: Do you always tailor your assignments to the student's angst?]

I will tailor the classes as much as I can. As the class grows, it will become more and more difficult, I would assume.
