***Tongue in cheek***
Shaina, when you posit questions on your account you raise the cumbersome problem of how we are to answer you. What is your protocal here? Are we to post our responses in our own journal as I am currently doing and as incidently shakesupsnow02 did last week? Or should we call you? Certainly I could give you a call however telephone calls are not nearly as diverting and time consuming as blogging and raises further questions as to availability times vs. work/school etiquette.
Nonetheless, I find it highly self-absorbed of you that you coerce us to use our own journal space to converse with you about your posts. Ascribing to my logic (which everyone does) it seems all too likely that as your friendslist grows so too does the neccessity of everyone on your list to address you directly on their journals. Given the connective nature of modern networks it seems all to likely that awareness of your person will grow exponentially untill you become a worldwide name and major internet celebrity.
I find such aspirations and actions to be slighty immodest.
Of course if all these questions are rhetorical it makes this all moot. But people don't ask me rhetorical questions. They would much rather spend their energy seeking answers from me as I know all.
So to answer your question I think you should take a smattering of Religious Studies classes as electives rather than taking on a full minor. I was a religious studied minor untill I decided to graduate in a time within reason. Still, with what will be about 3-5 classes under my belt in the subject (including lower division @ Saddleback) I have a pretty good supplemantary education in the subject. Anything else I can read in a book...or on Wikipedia. This has given me the knowledge I want without the extra time and money. The drawback is that it won't say "Bachelor of Arts Minor in Religious Studies" on my degree. And honestly, what's that going get you in real life? For that matter what's a major in the Degree going get most people? So take a few of the classes, graduate in time within reason and stil come away with the knowledge if not the gold, gothic-font lettering on your diploma.
I recommend some combination of these but many of them overlap, especially those dealing with the "Abrahamic Three." (J, C, and I)

I've taken equivilents of some of these classes. Of course CSULB is the premier Cal State for Religious Studies but what are you going to do?
