Buddhism, if I had to rank the 3 topics in order from easiest to hardest , it would be science and belief , buddhism and then crime and punishment

Struggled with Christianity paper so much especially baptism I just wrote about bring dunked under water and it washing away sins will I get marks for this paper 1 was average



I wrote about things like:
- can be full on dunking into the water or just a sprinkle of holy water on their head
- a sort of ritual washing which Christians believe washes away their sins, including those inherited from Adam and Eve
- i then talked a bit about opinions of baby baptisms such as: because the baby is still young it does not show their faith etc however it welcomes them into the Christian community
- many Christians believe that the only way to be saved and go to heaven is by being baptised!

I wrote about how they use Jesus's teachings and how literalist Christians believe that the bible is the word of god and is innerent and therefore it is exactly how god wants them to act, etc!

If you analysed and explained a bit I'm sure you'll be able to pick up another mark or two :smile:

Also for the last 10 AE question on evaluate these religous responses , what did you talk about. I pretty much criticised the two opposing views I chose in the KU section. I criticised them with modern day problems , cost , miscarriages of justice , I didn't use too much religous info but threw in a quote which appeared contradictory. What did you talk about? ( I know you done a different section , but just asking)

It sounds like you did that right, I asked my teacher for crime and she suggested that I should of written how the opposing views were contradictory etc

That was the question that tripped me up a bit! I don't really know whether I answered it correctly or not but I just gave the benefits and weaknesses of each of the religious views! I did war so I spoke about Quakers being against war and all for peace, etc in the previous questions but then explained how their view would mean that there would be no war in the world as they are fully against it! I don't think I answered that question right but hopefully I can pick up a few marks!

Yh , the only confusion im having is that I criticised the religous responses with modern day moral issues , but I didn't mention a lot of contradiction in terms of that same view. What's confusing me is that when I evaluated the religous responses should I have purely stuck to the religous contradictions or talk about general weaknesses of the religious view. For instance , the view which agrees with the death penalty are Christians take the Old Testament seriously, I criticised it by saying the death penalty is expensive , wrong people are killed , stuff like that.
