I was at my partner's work Xmas party last night. They opened dinner with a prayer. Please note that there are lots of employees who follow Islam and other faiths, but the prayer is definitely Christian in style. The pray-er avoided mentioning Jesus, but opened with the classic evangelical "Dear Heavenly Father."
My first thought: "Well, that's discriminatory against Wiccans."
Friends, I have a MA in Theology (yes, the Christian kind). I've come a looooong way from where I used to stand.

I prefer an approach to spirituality that is based in both gnosis and high-level critical thinking and analogue insight—not fear-based superstition. You’ll find all that in Book 2 of THE GRAND ILLUSION (and some snippets on my Subst@ck).
Leave a 📕 if you'd like to be first to know when it's available.
