    Just a quick question as my teacher has now worried me!

    On the developments paper a couple of weeks ago, did religious experience come up? Because I'm sure I answered a question on it, and then my teacher said that it was a bummer that it didn't come up, so now i'm worried!

    Just wondered if anyone could remember?

    I *think* it went well. It was pretty much my ideal passage to be asked about. Just hope I got a C!

    Yeah it did come up, I think it said something to the effect of:
    Examine the important features of either the argument for religious experience or the ontological argument.

    How did everyone find the Implications, omg Donovan!!
    then again, anything is better than Westphal...

    Oh my god the RELIEF when I opened that exam paper! Now hoping I don't have to resit next year as I predict it will most likely be Westphal! Hope everyones went well no more religious studies!

    After midnight we can discuss?

    That was my preferred passage probably of them all. Talked about religious experience, epistemology, critiques of religion (where Donovan outlines the view that he rejects towards the end). Maybe some other stuff too... Wittgenstein got a few mentions I think haha

    I had money on it being Ayer! He has to come up next year
    But I thought the passage was okay, at least it summarised was the whole passage was about. Was like a prompt for me to go back to

    simply it was the worst article but the best passage from it. As the lady read through the exam instructions the lad behind me whispered to me it was Donovan, i thought he was taking the piss!. Edexcel are tits for putting Donovan two years running and in the sample paper!

    They didn't put it two years running, 2011 was Westphal. If you think about it Donovan was the only one they hadn't done twice since the exam began, so it was quite predictable to be him.
