You can compare myth with symbol but you don't have to. You are fine :wink:

Life after death and morality
Consicence or psyhcology
Free will/problem of evil (almost one of the two come up every year)

ahhh revising for this synoptic paper is annoying there is actually a ridiculous amount 2 memorise. and i dont get conscience i much rather have a question on life after death or religious and ethical lang and free will!
so basically with snyoptic we can write pretty much anything philosophical in relation the question so are examiners look for specific philosophers that we ought to mention?

what is the paper format? Is it two questions we have to do at 60 marks, or 3 at 40 marks? do we have any choice?

well what i would do is be sure to mention:
pascal - how life is a bet and we bet one way or another about behaving morally or not and mention his wager theory.
criticisms - made by kant about his catergorical imperative as pascals theory encourages people to perform the rights action for the wrong reasons and kant disagrees because it looks 2 consequences etc.

mention atheists how they dont believe in God but still behave morall.
craig - without life after death theres no point behaving morally.
hick - he agrees with craig and goes on about escahtological verification.

and ofcourse talk about hinduism and how its a consolation for innocent suffering etc.
