Welcome to RF @Alea iacta est
It will either leave you feeling like this....

or like this.....

Let me know if there's bacon in the trifle.....Revoltingest hasn't been to the BA meetings lately.

 

[Alea iacta est]

First of all, thank you for the greetings!

Welcome to the forum alea iacta est. Now your die is cast with this lot.....good luck.

....and no, I don't know Latin. I had to Google translate that. I fully believe that World Religions should be a requirement in every highschool, especially in the USA. However, making it your college major and post-grad focus might just be over the top, eh?
What does one do with that diploma tacked to the wall?

We study world religions in high school in my country. Also, I had a good teacher in it (same teacher as in philosophy). That's why I got interested in it. Living in one of the most secular countries in the world might be a factor.

Most people in this degree become priests or pastors. But they normally just need Master's degree one year (called Magister which is an old degree that pretty much has been replaced by the Master to a major part). Others become high school teachers in religions. A small amount of people become journalists with religion as specialty or become a doctorate/PhD or TheolD.

Greetings Alea iacta est!
Welcome to RF.

Probably the same as I do with my Education degrees...
(Ie. Not much)

Pretty much.

Welcome to the Forum!

Welcome to RF! We can always use a scholar around here!

A scholar? Now you make me blush.

Welcome to RF. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I took one of my two undergraduate minors in Comparative Religious Studies. But that was 35 years ago. I've forgotten now most of what I learned.

Interesting. My experience with this is it's more common in the US than in Europe. My plan for my dissertation will be within Comparative Religious Studies.

Do you plan on teaching?

 

[Alea iacta est]

Do you plan on teaching?

I wouldn't have anything against it as long as I can do my research.

 

[Jumi]

A Noahide? There's at least one other Noahide active here(it's not me). Welcome!

Any particular research topics you'd like to tackle first?

I will write about reincarnation in Judaism for my Master's essay. For the dissertation I hope I can focus on the concepts of ruach in Judaism.

 

[Revoltingest]

Oh Revolt! I'm so proud of you....you resisted the bacon!

Have you tried it yet?

 

[Alea iacta est]

I forgot to say thanks for the welcoming by those I haven't thanked yet.

 

[Mister Silver]

Welcome.

Who says that English trifle doesn't have bacon soaked in Grand Marnier in it?

Everyone knows English trifle comes with beef sauteed with peas and onions...

At least Americans who watch too much Friends.



Anyway, welcome to Thunderdome, Alea!

Oh, I know it well.
Beef, jam, liqueur, cake....what's not to like?

Greetings!

Tonite's free snack (freshly stolen from the staff banquet hall) is....

You cretin! Where's the bacon?

 

[DavidFirth]

Hello,

I just discovered this forum, and I wish I had known about this forum long ago. I live in Sweden where I'm a graduate student in Religious Studies. I have studied all world religions and New Age. But my main focus has been about Islam, Christianity and Judaism so far. The main academic fields has been History of Religions and Sociology of Religions, with other fields have received less focus on but at least I know some about it.

Formally I'm a inactive Mormon, but prefer Judaism, which makes me more of a Noachide for practical reasons.

Don't hesitate to ask me if you want to know more about me.

Cheers!

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here.

 

[Revoltingest]

It's in there.

It better be!

Welcome from me, too. I'm an active Mormon, but as it says under my name, I am "Not your average Mormon." I love your avatar! We have at least that much in common.
