Religious Backgrounds
Brad Blackman | Sep 6 2006
After reading the GTD 'cult' thread, I thought I'd ask what kind of religious or philosophical backgrounds everyone comes from. It may be too sensitive a topic (just like at parties, you shouldn't talk about religion or politics), but it'd be interesting to see where people are coming from. Obviously some see a Buddhist influence in GTD, and others may see something else? Or others (like myself) come from a different background and wouldn't know the difference. Again, I know it's a pretty big can of worms, but I think the people around here are thoughtful enough to take everything in stride. There are quite a few thinkers here. 42 Comments

Like patrickrhone, I'm a practicer of a philosphy without considering it a religion - but mine is small 't' taoist, rather than buddhist. Basic philosophy - "Go with the flow". I'm a Unitarian-Universalist by religion. But, as any UU knows, that just means you know where you can find me on Sunday morning, nothing else. Interestingly, I'm married to a Catholic, and my kids are altar boys. » POSTED IN:
