That would've been a remarkable paper when you were done (or are you still going?), though would definitely have taken some thought and sapped a lot out of you (not just something you could knock up overnight!)! It's one thing to read and ponder something, but quite another thing altogether to incorporate your findings and theories etc into a research paper...particularly a paper you would prefer to get a passing grade on!
It's challenging. However, I have been studying philosophy for a few years now and I have slowly become more and more attuned to it. My beliefs have also slightly shifted around, especially with regards to religion.
I remember that when I just got started, The God Delusion came out and I was outraged. How dares he...? Now I have read it and although I don't agree with everything he says, he does make some good points. Although I didn't like his tone, especially when tackling Anselm's ontological argument.
