Post a CommentThanks. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks! I find it to be one of the most unbiased religious/spiritual websites out there.
really interesting article, Lindsey. As a practicing polytheistic agnostic, I find it difficult to find good information on world religions, and this article led me to a place it seems I can find all kinds of things.
I love beliefnet. They ahve a little something for everyone. Good article.
