I am curious to see what belief systems, if any, the people in here are most fond of, and why?

Feel free to leave a list of books or web sites that further elaborate your favorite belief systems.

Namaste!

The never-popular Christianity. But you'd never know it from the way I have better things to do besides protest outside Disney or abortion clinics. smile

I like C.S. Lewis books to illustrate where I'm coming from.

I am not a big fan of Christian Fundamentalists, but I am also not a big fan of Occult Fundamentalists.

Any true student of the occult will see the bible as a very valuable tool, there are many esoteric symbols in the bible, and if you look at it from that view point, it really is a good reference book.

A lot of my friends are Christians in this sense, so I certainly have no problem with that!

In that case, you might get a kick out of The Toa Te Ching. It is so entirely free from the BS that veils a lot of otherwise useful belief systems. Very poetic and simple, but at they same time way more profound than any 'complicated' text you will ever find, if that is something that interests you.

I think it's sad not to believe in something, Even Science can be a belief. I read and loved The Science of God. I may not believe in the Bible per say, but I when i try to conceive of the beginning of all that there is, I eventually have to chalk it up to something far greater than my understanding. What made the particles that made the particles that made the particles that made the particles.....

Thanks, that's what I meant. I also read the entire Chronicles of Narnia as a kid, which are excellent, too.

OK... I'm not that funny I guess... I meant *ahem* If C.S.Lewis books illustrate where you're coming from, and C.S. Lewis is well known for "The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe" then perhaps you meant you yourself are coming from The Wardrobe; hence the joke: "like... the wardrobe?"

Shut up. It's late.

Raised Pentecostal Christian, former pope in the Church of the Subgenius, now a Taoist/Buddhist hybrid of sorts, with a dash of Druidism for flavor.

So from the wells of night to the gulfs of space, and from the gulfs of space to the wells of night, ever the praises of Great Cthulhu, of Tsathoggua, and of Him Who is not to be Named. Ever their praises and abundance to the Black Goat of the Woods. IƤ! Shub-Niggurath! The Goat with a Thousand Young!
