"Jesus Christ's take on the purpose of religion" - NYU Supplement

3. If you had the opportunity to bring any person -- past or present, fictional or nonfictional -- to a place that is special to you (your hometown or country, a favorite location, etc), who would you bring and why? Tell us what you would share with that person.

(limit is 500 characters, with spaces)

Religion has always held a purpose in every society. I would love to hear Jesus Christ's take on the purpose of religion today, and what he intended the purpose of religion to be. I would then read a passage from Frankenstein, how Dr. Victor Frankenstein is taunted endlessly by his creation, and ask if there is any correlation to Jesus' creation, and reflect on the inevitable: creators fleeing from they have wrought. Being a very deep thinker, I would thoroughly enjoy my discussion with Jesus; I'm sure it would be nothing but life-changing.

Thanks for any and all commentary! I'll show my appreciation by reading yours as well of course.

First of all, it is nice, but personally, writing about Jesus is cliched. I also thought about writing about him, but I figured a lot of Christians out there would also do it.

I think that you have better things to talk to Jesus than Frankenstein, but it is an interesting and unique idea. Keep working on it and good luck, there isn't any grammatical error btw. Please read my Princeton supplement, they are also due today and I would like to submit it before noon!!! Thanks!!!

I understand Jesus is cliched, but because I am not Christian I thought I would put another take on the same man, his idea of religion and the convoluted state of affairs it has turned into today.

Maybe a different religious leader?

Well it goes same for other religious leaders. They would all be used by their respective followers. If you want to be creative, you could write someone from your own personal life. Hope this helps. Also, since you are not Christian, you could use Jesus, but ask him something about his religion or the way of life. That's how I would do it!!!

Maybe it's just me, but I thought the question was asking what place you would share with them. But then again, it's really up to interpretation because the question at the end is so vague. I think you should include something about a special place, just in case.

I think the main focus of this prompt question is what special place you would take them to and why you would want to share the place with that person. I think your answer is a little off...

I think if you are going to talk about jesus. talk less about him. and more about why you would bring him
