    Have You Ever Been Wrong About Your Religion?

    The classes I attend at the temple force me to contemplate and experience and conclude all the time, and then in subsequent classes I find I haven't even hit the mark. I'm wrong about my religion right now, I'll bet.

    Reaction to Terrorist

    "Terrorism" How true it is, Truth, that the word is used as propaganda to further agendas. I remember when terrorists would hijack a commercial airline or bullet train on bad movies. But since the most famous act of "terrorism" occurred, now "terrorists" seem to be poised to kill and...

    Whose Religion Is It, Anyway?

    The council members of the Old Belief Society determine what is taught, it seems. Each member has a certain amount of say, based on their "honor price". The more done for the Society, the more leeway they get in council meetings. I think this is a pretty ideal mechanism for this faith, as...

    Pagans & Magic

    Keep in mind I have little experience with magic, and I find myself having a hard time keeping an open mind about it. I'm more inclined to think it spiritual, that wherever it is spirits reside, magic is a natural part of such a place. We're talking about magic, and what pagans think it is...

    How Is Polytheism Superior To Monotheism?

    If I had to toss my hat into one ring or the other, I'd throw it to the one that covers more bases. One god can sure emphasize some things while leaving a whole bunch either barely-noted or left out completely. Having more than one god means more aspects of our day-to-day existence are...

    After Science, What's Left For Religion?

    Well, for some people it is easier to accept science over any religion. Still, science does not have answers to questions that many faiths do. Surely the scientific community knows how my body works, how my brain retains its consciousness, how it sends thoughts and emotions and commands...

    What's the proof that there are many Gods

    Yep, I can see that it is silly to try and prove a god's existence, but for people who do indeed believe that deities are there, there has to be some personal proof, or individual experience that would be the basis of that belief. What kind of experiences would those be?
