Just looking at the paper now, and LOL the Christianity Section III is the biggest contradiction.
The quote is about differences between religions while the question asked about the diversity of expression within Christianity. Lucky i had a judaism response because i was planning to do Christianity, WTF Who wrote this shit exam

i did justice

halachaic laws, mitzvot, torah etc

and linked it EXTENSIVELY to the enduring human existence

that was the actual focus
justice/compassion had to link in

Yeah. They were a lot harder this year. :/

No one has refuted me saying I think 21 is A. :/
Hmm i was tossing up between A and C but i thought A was economic which scientifics aren't really concerned with.. i dunno what were ur answers?

typical religion mc

i kept saying this yesterday

they are just fucking stupid/ridiculous

all of s1 is just a fucking waste

u only really get tested section 2 onwards (and even that was lousy)
yeah. I didn't actually go to class for the religion and non-religion lessons so I rely on my knowledge and bs ability.

I got:
1. C (I was stuck between C & D :/)
2. B
3. C (stuck between C & D)
4. C
5. A (bs + guess)
6. C
7. D
8. D (B & C confused me)
9. A (guess)
10. B (all the others seemed to similar so I guessed)

12. D
13. A
14. B
15. B
16. A (stuck between A & B)
17. A (stuck between A & D)
18. B
19. C (stuck between A & C)
20. D (stuck between B & D)
21. A (stuck between C & A)

I spoke about how Asoka spread Buddhism through missionaries and that Hinduism didn't have organised missionary stuff. Not sure if that's true. :/
in my opinion i dont even think that that question was part of the syllabus. the syllabus states "investigate STATISTICAL data about the global distribution of the 5 major religions" not reasons WHY they are distributed! you could tell the bos just felt like messing with our heads..

Yeah, we've been through this. :p
I thought 21 was A or C. Hopefully A. :)

I forgot to ask: has anyone else's hand died after this exam? It's probably the most I've ever written. And I had 5 hours of exams today and for the two hours between I was making religion notes (lol). So my hand is aching like a bitch. :/
