Create a conversation representing two points of view: religious man vs. profane man. Your “religious man” should represent one (or more!) of the religious practitioners that we’ve encountered (Hindu worshipers, Sundancers, medicine men, traditionalists who align with the Earth Spirit, feng shui practitioners, etc.) Your “profane man” should be someone (or more!) of your creation, based on the tenets we’ve discussed. Enjoy the use of your imagination. Give your characters names, describe what they look like, where they come from. Be creative in the circumstances of how and where they happen to meet and have this conversation. Structure the conversation around such topics as what it means to live religiously, what it might mean to live without connection to the sacred, challenges of initiation, role in the community, understanding of the sacred, the way in which they communicate with God and/or the spirits, personal attitudes about living this way (was it chosen or voluntary?). Address at least three of these topics. Be sure to allow both the religious man and nonreligious man to address the rewarding and uplifting, as well as the challenging and exasperating aspects of their lifestyles. Also be sure to give them equal time in the conversation. Make it a real conversation. Of course, the circumstances of their meeting may be entirely surreal. 4-5 pages.
