Group RSS Unit 1 – Definitional Dialogue
According to Dr. Mike, religion is a social institution set up to fill our need to know by answering the big questions of our existence. Discuss the utility of this definition, and provide examples from your own life that support this definition.
Unit 2 – Opportunistic Corruption
According to Dr. Mike, all religions, despite being “setup” to provide answers to the Big Questions, nevertheless end up being little more than “opportunistic corruptions.” Examine your own belief systems, find examples, and share them in this forum
Unit 3 – Superstition, Violence, Intolerance, and Evil
As Dr. Mike says in the course study guide, “unlike their sisters and brothers over in the natural sciences, who have no problem pontificating on the big questions, sociologists wash their hands of it altogether and instead of addressing religion as such, they dress up the opportunistic corruption and dismiss the substantive core.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Before answering, do a little research and find out what other sociologists are saying about religion.
Unit 4 – Emergent Revelations
According to Dr Mike, emergent religions like Wicca and neo-evangelicism, and disorganized artistic expressions like heavy metal rock music, are often critical responses to opportunistic corruptions. Provide evidence from your own life and discuss.
Unit 5 – Meet the New Age, Same as the Old Age
