Her answer (and the answer she wants us to put on our test) is no and she wants us to explain this. What the hell?!?!? It's a load of BS and you all know it. She explained later to me that "if you don't love God, and a bit of God is in every one of us, then you cannot completely love another human being because you don't love a small part of them". Like stated before, load of BS. Fellow "free thinkers" please post reasonable responses that I can put on my test tomorrow (and still live through the next couple weeks of school). |
This is a problem you will encounter all through your educational life. Be it parochial school, public school...and especially..college. To pass certain tests and get good grades on term papers, you will have to conform to certain subjective views of the instructor.
You have options...
1. Sell out and answer the question the "right" way for the grade.
2. Take the test, get enough of the other questions correct that your grade will be passing, mark the answer "no" with an asterisk and at the bottom explain the reasoning for your answer.
3. No matter your choice, live your life and make your choices and come to your own conclusions.
I am Machiavellian by nature. I will answer in such a way as to get a good grade and save commentary for another day.
