2)  Using my notes and video links as resources, discuss Sikhism.  How is this faith similar or different to other traditions we have studied this semester. (5 points) 125 word minimum 

(These first 2 questions are basically the same as the weekly discussions you have been doing all semester)

3) Every religious tradition has had splits among its followers, regarding the true meaning of the faith and the best way to worship.  In your opinion, why do these splits occur?  And do these splits strengthen or weaken the overall message of a faith tradition over time?

4)  As we have seen this semester, many faith traditions have stories of miraculous conception and birth stories.  In your own opinion, why is this?  For instance, as I wrote in notes earlier in the semester, were babies truly born in these miraculous ways in the past, or were our ancestors just creative story tellers?  (5 points) 125 word minimum

5)  What are some of the major lessons you will take from this class?  How has your own understanding of different religious traditions been impacted? (10 points) 200 word minimum
