..... um. what.
LJ/DW. Guize. Help me out here.
What the fuck does this mean?
We will have to disagree. Compassion is absolutely related to faith. I find it curious that anyone would challenge that idea. Now granted, faith doesn't have an exclusive connection with compassion, but nevertheless, faith and compassion are related.
Help me out. For the reminder of the semester put less emphasis on what you don't believe and start sharing more about what you do believe. Then, whatever it is that you do believe, try to find a way to relate it to what we are studying that particular week. Your perspective, shared in a positive light, can be informative for the class.
I... I don't know what do say back to him. Halp? Please?
:jaw drop:
ETA: I think I'm going to ask to meet up with him because I'm so lost right now. Keep in mind at the top of every assignment is instruction to relate the reading back to our own beliefs. I don't have religious beliefs, so I always related the reading to philosophical beliefs I follow(ed) and to religious ideas I've heard of. That's the only way I know how to interact. Now I feel like I'm being told not to do that.
I'm so confused.
