Death and afterlife.
This is my course outline though:
The Afterlife:
Why do we die?
What is it like after you're dead?
Various mythologies and philosophies will be presented concerning the above questions.
The Beforedeath:
Dying
Death: the definition and defining moment
Funeral Costs
Grieving
The Deaths of Buddha, Socrates and Jesus
Conclusion: Teenage Christian Mortal (Side-note: I have no idea what the fuck this means.)
The purpose of the course is "To study the phenomenon of death from various viewpoints: medical, sociological, psychological, economical and mythological. To study Christianity's understanding and interpretation of the above."
I had the teacher last semester for a World Relgions course. He's awesome and is the master at playing devil's advocate. He can take any viewpoint. And with some of the things he says, I find it so odd that he's not an atheist.
