Friday - Intro to Philosophy

We had our first class - double session - of the Intro to Philosophy class for this semester on Friday. The sessions go from 11:15 AM to 2:15 with a half hour break for lunch starting around 12:30. There were two quiz questions. The first was what are the ten commandments? This was a memory exercise to display what I think are some interesting characteristics of how our memory works. The second quiz question referred to a previous blog - from Tuesday - where I highlighted two interesting articles in local papers. The first article was about Steven O. and the courts decisions regarding his hearing the voice of Jesus. The second was a wonderful article by Shannon explaining how Jesus has helped her over the years. I was curious about what you thought regarding the juxtaposition of these two situations. For those that might be enroled but missed class notice from the syllabus there are links to my notes which I think are pretty close to what we did. Now for a long weekend since there are no classes on Monday.....
