[Greetings to solderpunk.] One of the things I've been doing lately is writing a short screenplay which features a fictional religion, and as a consequence of that I went and did a bit of study about a variety of religions. At this point, I went off on a very large tangent and got quite engaged in studying different religions and this has really turned into a project of its own, although one without any specific end goal as yet. This isn't a personal quest for meaning (I'm perfectly comfortable in my own religion--you'll be able to guess which this is from the resources I host here), but rather a quest (I guess) for broadening my horizons and understanding other people better. I've specifically decided to try and gain a deeper understanding of the religions of my friends, as well as a couple of others that have piqued my interest. Today I took part in a Wiccan class about spellcrafting and plan (read: hope) to write about my experiences of this soon.
