11-3-10:  I thought this was a wonderful article as regards structure and content. I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and I appreciate that this article did not bash our orginization. I just wanted to correct something, if I may: Jehovah’s Witnesses do not solicitate. We do not ask that the householder buy anything, we do, however, ask that a voluntary donation is given, bu tonly when appropriate. Thank you for covering this information; I plan to use this article as an example of the first amendment in a project for my Government class.                JM

For those friends who I think are interested in religions, whether heavily into them or totally against them, or just open-minded and curious, please give this blog a try. It’s going to be fascinating and is not for or against religion or religions. It is being written by someone who has a BA and MA in Comparative Religions and does not share personal views or opinions – just facts. She is a great writer and I think you’ll find this interesting reading. I, for one, would love to be more educated about various religions.                                        AL

I love it! I’ve got a BA in religion and biology and an MA in Buddhist studies, and I consider myself a religion geek. Looking forward to reading………………………Cheers, Jason

Very interesting stuff, like you before settling on my right path (maybe not like you) I did extensive research, some of it was just for curiosity about that religion, some in searching. I had a library rich in books on Islam, Hinduism, Wicca, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Eckankar to name some. Before making a move across country I opened my home to a book sale, some comments I received were so startling One man looked up at me questioning Are you even a Christian? I inwardly smiled and knew I had so much more knowledge and wisdom than he could ever have achieved with his narrow thinking……………….Carrie

I just discovered your website from a facebook link.  I applaud your intelligent writing and openness to diverse religious perspectives.  I am always on the outlook for openness such as you show on your site.  I agree with you about the “Rev.” Fred Phelps.  How this man can consider himself a Minister of the Word of God, I do not understand.  I hope to hear from you soon and will add you to my prayers, as I believe that you are a voice for tolerance and understanding in a world in such desperate need in these times.    May the Divine Mother Bless your Work!  ………..Revs  Jerry and Wesley, Church of the Divine Mother

This is a very good article on Jediism. It even helped me understand the movement some more, because as a Jedi myself, I  am sometimes too close to the forest to see the trees. I will pass this information on to the other Jedi I know.  Thanks!……………….Z

Hi we just wanted you to know we made it to your web site,thanx for all this inspiring stuff you got here …..   jake and tracy

We appear to be a matched set.  I also have had an obsessive fascination with religion.  I have still not been able to figure out how people can be aware that there are tens of thousands of faith groups in the world, teaching very
different beliefs, and yet most are absolutely certain that their set of beliefs is the only correct one.  Many people know that if the stork had been blown off course before they were born, they might well be following a different religion today. For example, if it landed in Jerusalem instead of the Gaza Strip they might well end up being Jews hating Muslims instead of the reverse.  I spotted your website ULR when it was advertised by Google on our
website. It looks like a real gem. Keep up the good work.–
