CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm a Christian with interests in Christian Gnosticism (Valentinian, Sethian, Ophite, etc.. and Christian Theosophy (Boehme , Gitchel, Swedenborg etc..)
Other influences include
Esoteric Christianity (Gurdjieff, Rosicrucianism..)
Mahayana Buddhism (Especially Tiantai )
Western Esoteric Tradition ( Alchemy, Hermeticism, Kabbalah, etc.)
Taoism
Sufism and Shi'ite Esoterism
Overall I'm an avid student of world religion and spirituality in general. More recently I've been trying to broaden my reading outside of religion to include "secular" philosophy including Process Philosophy, Heidegger, Phenomenology, and whatever else catches my attention.
Currently Reading:
The Gnostics by Jacques LacCarrire
&
Being and Ambiguity: Philosophical Experiments in Tiantai Buddhism by Brook Ziporyn
