    Coming out about taoism

    okay, I finally told them. I think it went well, I don't remember actually. Just an overwhelming experience of emotion ... whatever, maybe once I can think straight I'll come back and try to make sense out of this.

    Coming out about taoism

    I swear I will tell them tonight ... if I get a chance. I was going to tell them on the weekend, but they were in an extremely sour mood so I held it off. I don't even know what I'll say yet, but I can just make something up. Keep posted!

    Coming out about taoism

    I have been following the path of taoism for a while now, and i am postive it is the right path for me. although, I was raised a Christian, so my parents don't know I'm a taoist. I really want to tell them, but I'm so afraid that they won't take me seriously. I am positive they'll think it's...

    Are Baha'is a majority?

    that's interesting. I never knew there were large amounts of Baha'i's in those countries listed. but as BruceDLimber and Booko stated, this particular religion isn't a majority in any country yet.

The warmth of It's knowledge resonates in my soul banishing vespertine fogs once hiding in blackest most corners of my soul; uncluttering doubts between truths and...

    Book Club

    What about 'My sister's Keeper' by Jodi picoult? I've never actually read it, but my sister did, and she said it was really good, and also controversial.
