[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do DC folks think of Georgetown these days? We were a bit underwhelmed. I mean, it’s an excellent school, but compared to similarly selective schools, you wonder why it’s so selective. [/quote]

very religious[/quote]

Not our impression at all. Plenty of non-Catholics attend.[/quote]

Sure but if a college is REQUIRING my DS/DD to take "The Problem of God" (THEO-1000) or "Introduction to Biblical Literature" (THEO-1100), we're NOT going there.

As an optional course, sure do what you want to offer. [/quote]

I went to Georgetown SFS.

You have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to how they handle religion and those classes.

The curriculum for Problem of God is determined by each professor. My professor chose to teach us about the religious justifications used by terrorists. Others taught about the history of atheism.

I also took a class on comparative Judeo-Christian theology taught by a Rabbi, Priest, and an Imam.

Not once did ANYONE at Georgetown push Catholicism.[/quote]
