It
was taught in my classes; just like everything else, it was taught as theory. I'm probably one of the few non-Hare Krishnas who can recite their little chant.
Other courses were the Bible as Mythology, Contrasting & Comparing Religious Theories, Reincarnation (I forget the whole title), etc.
I'm not saying that I didn't flirt with a lot of the different theories in my life. I just found the One which made the most sense to me. I was also blessed with parents who encouraged me to explore different forms of worship, so by the time I was 16, I had attended 23 different types of services. I can't imagine that a more informed opinion can be formed than by research and actually visiting.
BTW, I just couldn't get into Toaster Worship...
