RE exam

[Apparitions]

I've got an RE exam tomorrow that is worth 50% of my GCSE. Problem is that I have hardly revised for it. I tried to start but I just switched off and did something else. I couldn't give a flying fuck about RE with me being Atheist but I don't want to fail too badly. How can I revise enough in like 2 hours and for the future how can I make myself revise for something like this.

if you have no will to take information in, you wont.
i did the same thing, i never revise because i never have any will too.
try and find a way to make revising more fun or interesting.
and last minute revision isnt a good idea either...

Thanks. I'm now not too bothered at what I get in it. I might get shouted at a bit by my parents and teacher but idc, I'm never going to use RE in my life. I just got a saying into my head: 'Whatever will be, will be'. How true. Anyway I'll revise for it a bit, I want to get SOME marks.

We are both atheists however I see a very strong need to study religion in general or a certain one if you are to provide arguments simply for your own purposes of justifying your disbelief or for engaging in informal or formal debates. To me, for this, you need to know just what it is you're disagreeing with. You can be another atheist hopping onto the atheistic bandwagon of "GOD SUCKZ!" or you can learn of the religion in order to refute why you would believe in it.

As a personal story which I'll try to keep short, I a bit interested in some philosophy but was on the atheistic bandwagon. Despite still having not taken a single course in philosophy but having read the bible and learned from others, I can begin to understand one of the most prominent (if not the most) religions in the world and address specific issues regarding it. If this isn't important to you, then it would be boring as piss to study about it.

i took it as a personal vendetta to fail the RE GCSE course because my teacher said that we would be learning about many religions and their cultures but then she started telling us to revise for an exam that was all about the greatness of our "lord and saviour Jesus Christ" and how abortion is morally wrong

Last minute revision can actually be a good thing in certain situations, just make sure you have a good plan to get a decent amount of each topic in and you should be okay. It helped me with some of my exams, because it was fresh in my mind when i went in.

I see your point. The thing is, I don't try to form arguments from what the teacher is saying because I spend all lesson thing that it's all a load of bullshit and I just switch off. I do know enough about Christianity to argue against it though seeing as I was Catholic though. I even got into the top set of RE because of this even though I don't believe any of it. I just can't take anything he says seriously because it's just so illogical, conflicting and sometimes goes against my personal beliefs/morals. What pisses me off is when my teacher goes into his 'WOE IS ME' mode and moans about Christians being persecuted all the time, conveniently forgetting the horrific things Christians have done supposedly in the name of God, the Crusades being one. This just makes me annoyed and makes me not want to listen to his bullshit.

I hate the way my school teaches RE. Yes, it's a Catholic school so it will be mainly Catholicism taught but I can't remember the last time we learnt about other religions. How is there supposed to be diversity, multiculturalism and respect to other faiths if no-one knows anything about them? I actually want to learn about other religions like Buddhism (this especially, I'm interested in Buddhism) and Islam and Judaism etc but I cant at my school which I think is wrong. I think it is also wrong to teach that abortion/sex outside marriage/homosexuality etc is wrong as people should decide this for themselves, not have some teacher interfere with their personal decisions. This is how people become ignorant in faith schools like mine.

Anyway, I had the exam today and I don't think I did as bad as I thought. I didn't finish it but I think I at least got a C. I probably got a low B, which is OK considering that I hardly revised.
