You clearly think you know it all, but you don't and you certainly aren't an expert on the religious studies department at the UofC nor what goes into
earning a minor. For the minor, you have to take a set number of courses on eastern religions, western religions and on the nature of religion. I took slightly more on the nature of religion, but that doesn't mean I didn't learn anything about the religions of the world.
And labeling the profs as nothing more than critical theorists is bizarre. It sells the program so short there I'm insulted on their behalf. We had guest lectures from rabis, imams, priests, monks, etc. etc. all in an effort to give us a broad education on as many aspects of religion as possible.
Honestly, your post is so dopey it's hard to believe. Instead of asking what went into my minor you just assumed you had all the answers and assumed it was somehow unimportant to this discussion when you were the one that claimed you had authority on the topic because you read philosophy part time. Well, frankly, you do come across as somebody who does some reading on the subject but not much thinking about it.
