This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up.  This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

			When you were a kid did you ever fantasize that you were an alien who had lost your memory? 
Hey, I'm serious! 
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

			I think it was partly because I grew up in Rexburg, and felt I didn't fit in, even though i was a Ricks family member. I just couldn't figure out why I saw the world differently than everyone else.

			My most common childhood fantasy was about being abducted by friendly aliens. I wanted it SO badly. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

			Welcome back from your Earth assignment, Commander Moksha!  
Are you ready for your holosuite debriefing? Let's get you out of that strange underwear.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

When you fantasized about being an alien, were you a humanoid alien, or a truly alien, alien?

			I  was a human alien who had lost my memory and super powers. Then I would try to regain both. It never worked.
