panic attack
So I just finished the first batch of my student's reaction papers. Wow! This is an honor's class, and the discussion was just fine last week.

Judaism, I learned, relies on teaching & laws from men who were intermediaries between God & men (!). Islam, on the other hand, was founded because Mohammad said he was an intermediary between God & men. (!) Now what do I do? I'm not teaching an intro to world religions...
