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

Which is where science and religion can mingle freely - for some people, it is the "mystery of faith". The Deists (i.e. Thomas Jefferson) believed in the "Great Watchmaker" - a being who created the universe and the life in it, wound it up, and let it go to progress in whichever way it would. Proud to say that TJ attended a Unitarian church (now half of "UU") , although he never joined. » POSTED IN:
