Wow I will let my sister know about your site, we are currently
interested in transidentalism which I have not considered as a religion at all but more of
a reflective philosophy whereby I might refer to as I would a horoscope or something of
recreational nature. I have many bones to pick with anyone who follows an organized religion
by the letter. We live amongst a rather large community of Jehovah's Witnesses and
they have relentlessly tried to persuade us to join their faith. We know that recruiting is a
 big part of their parish so we try not to become personally offended by their tenacity.
 
My personal woe for the world is religious fundamentalism. I see it as a larger
threat than disease. I fear those who use any kind of religion to excuse or
explain their violent or inhumane acts.
 
I do speak out in opposition to traditions and attitudes that do not
continue to prove their worth or validity in today's ever changing
world and religion is one of them.
Hope this encouraged you!
