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

So I'll give the Cliff Notes; Raised Protestant Christian in a variety of flavors. Mother converted to the LDS church when she married my step-father. I did the Mormon Seminary thing, did the classes, read their scriptures, became familiar with dogma and doctrine, etc. Didn't take. From that was a very long trail of discovery and reading and talking to people. I read the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Qur'an, did some religious studies at school and wound up having the most resonance with the Baha'i Faith for a variety of reasons. So there you have it. Heh. ??????. I had to see if it would crash again :) » POSTED IN:
