Suggested Reading
This is a short list, if you will, because there simply is not enough room or time to list everything. At least this will let anyone know where I stand in regards to my spiritual or religious philosophy. I might not agree with everything listed here, but I firmly believe that you should read something yourself before deciding if you agree or disagree with it. Hearsay evidence is inadmissible in criminal court and it should be the same in the court of human reason.
