I collected these today and found some of them were pretty interesting. Did you know that Fred Phelps is being disowned by the far right and they are now calling him a "Leftist"? Being an actual Leftist, I thought "The Spirit of Whiggery" was a pretty interesting read and look forward to more blog posts from this writer.

1. Wow

it took the "far-right" this long to discover phelps (who is certainly one of them) was giving them a bad image. One day, far off in the future, they will actually state that george bush lied to them.

3. Yes, but what will they call **? A Buddhist? Liars, the whole lot. *rofl*

2. Found "The Green Face of God" interesting

especially since one of the Ten Sufi Thoughts says:

There is one holy book, the sacred manuscript of nature.

4. I was a panentheist long before I knew there was a word for thinking that

God lived in everything. Interestingly I find a lot of children have that view of God being in everything and it is only later in life that many doctrines grind that type of thinking out of them. I think it has to do with whther or not that religious doctrine has a Dominionist overtone to it or not.

5. Yes

the Lakota tradition has an inipi (sweatlodge) song that says "all things are sacred".

6. Yes, Native American spirituality was the first religion that I knew about

as seeing God or the Great Spirit in everything. It was a lot longer before I found other Christians who felt similarly.
