Menneskeverdet kan begrunnes på ulike måter. Gjør rede for sentrale begrunnelser for menneskeverdet i kristendommen, islam og livssynshumanismen. I svaret ditt skal du sette disse begrunnelsene inn i religionens eller livssynets helhetssyn. Forklar ut fra din forståelse av religion hvordan den både kan brukes til å verne om liv og ødelegge liv. I svaret ditt skal du legge vekt på hva som kjennetegner religionens funksjon og komme med konkrete eksempler.

“Ja, dette er jo en solid karakter i toppsjiktet.” Med elleville sommerfugler i magen og skyhøye forhåpninger stod jeg og trippet foran sensor i dommedagens time. Alle fem eksamenskandidater hadde gjort unna sitt, og vi ble kalt inn én og én for å få høre dommen. “Jeg har gitt deg karakteren 5.”

Noe knuste innvendig.

Jeg skal ikke benekte at jeg ble en smule skuffet da jeg virkelig satset på toppkarakter. Jeg tror han kunne lese skuffelsen i ansiktet mitt, enda jeg jobbet iherdig for å opprettholde pokerfjeset, for han var rask med å forsikre meg om at dette var en “sterk og solid femmer”. Men hva hjelper det meg om den er svak eller sterk når det bare kommer til å stå 5 på vitnemålet? Som begrunnelse for hvorfor han ikke ga meg en sekser, pekte han ut at jeg hadde eh.. bommet litt på en liten del av eksamensoppgaven min og i tillegg kunne ha vært litt mer tydelig/konkret på det siste sinnsyke spørsmålet han stilte meg (eksamen bestod av 15 min. presentasjon + 15 min. spørrerunde). Jeg driver ikke med gjøn når jeg sier at han hadde noen “sinnsyke” spørsmål. Spørsmål som jeg kunne satt meg ned med og fundert over, ikke spørsmål som jeg skulle ha kastet sammen et svar på i løpet av sekunder! Likevel følte jeg at det jeg fikk rasket sammen av tanker var både reflektert og betenkt nok…

Jeg skal nå likevel ikke klage. Han ga meg mye skryt for hvor “flink” jeg var. Hvor mye han legger i ordet “flink” aner nå ikke jeg, men forhåpentligvis var det mer enn hva et dagligdags “flink” uttrykker. Det gjorde meg ekstra glad da han slo fast at “slik skryt gir jeg ikke til hvem som helst”. Jeg liker han, jeg. Han var en dyp og filosofisk lærer.

Gratulerer, Kvamme, med sekseren! Den har du virkelig fortjent! (Denne jenta kom gråtende ut av klasserommet, mer ydmyk jente skal du lete lenge etter!)

Til slutt vil jeg gjerne takke Audhild, min fantastiske religionslærer, for at hun fra og med første time – uten å være klar over det selv – klarte å vise meg at religionsfaget ikke trenger å være noe sabla herk. Nei, jeg har ikke blitt omvendt av noe slag, jeg er fortsatt den svært sekulære buddhisten jeg alltid har vært!

English-speaking readers: all my exams are over, and I have officially finished High School/Upper Secondary School. Well, not officially, since the ceremony hasn’t been held yet.. But in a practical sense, I have :)

    • ]]>     At the first Religions and ethics class, our teacher asked us to write ourselves a letter. She have taken care of the letters, and none have opened them. Today, a year later, we receive the letters back so that we may see how much we have matured. I find my own thoughts (and grammar mistakes) at that time extremely amusing. And interesting I might add.

    God is almighty, god is kind. God is brilliant light and goodness, as well as fair and righteous. He condemns no-one and loves everyone. He brings peace to those who have faith, and brings them to Heaven when their time has come. If God really is all-loving and such a wonderful being, then why does evil exist? Why does cruelty flourish in the originally good world which God created? Those with faith are murdered, tortured for their loyalty to God. Destructible weapons are created to wipe millions of people off the surface of earth (and they have been used too), and battles have been fought for the silliest of reasons. …read on

    The “The Problem of Evil” paper I wrote for my Religions and Ethics class a couple of weeks ago. Yes, Rolf, I’ll bring you a paper version of it as soon as possible!

    What are your views on this issue?

    • ]]>     Religions class was surprisingly interesting. It’s more philosophy to it than I ever imagined. Actually, I imagined it as boring a class as society class. But I’ve wronged this harshly critisized subject.
    You know how I always have these funny thoughts racing through my mind? Philosophical, wonderous thoughts. Vivid and bleak, urgent and slow.
    Then this class must be perfect for you, you might think. Well, I do to.
    But something’s telling me all the philosophical chat won’t stay for long. Certainly it will come to an end soon, and that’s where the boring bit starts. Religion always was tedious to me. But I pray it won’t be this time, not with this wonderful teacher we’ve got :D

    On another note, I finally got my Literature & Cultural English class. Yes, it does mean novels, short stories, plays, art, architecture, movies and etcetra. Bingo! Another perfect class!
    Yes, it would indeed be if it weren’t for the teacher we’ve been assigned. Argh. She poisons my favorite subject.
    You know, it seems like she doesn’t hear what we say a lot of times. She keeps stating something we already answered her, like she’s frustrated we haven’t come to the right conclusion yet and therefore decides to tell us. It’s quite irritating.
    And all the “Yes,, isn’t it? Mhm. Yes, indeed. Yes. Yes. Mhm.” are bound to get on my nerves someday. Certainly.

    Oh and I went to the hairdresser today. Which means for the first time in a millennia. It’s quite nice to know that the back of your head will be taken care of. But she cut off way too much at the back though! It feels empty and airy. Cold even. Oh well, it’ll grow back in no time at all!
    I got myself a straight fringe. It’s still quite alien to me, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it soon enough :D
