Perspectives On Religion


Posted by Qurr in Theology on 02 Jun 2013 / 0 Comment



As a follow up to my rational case for theism (a conversation on religion, between myself and some friends), I continue with some perspectives on religion.

Learning from ‘Legba


Posted by Qurr in Keeping up with the Orishas on 06 Aug 2012 / 19 Comments



Orisha is from ‘ri (to see) and isha (selection or choice). It means “One who sees all possible choices or selections”. You are not an Orisha, so you cannot see the cult. You cannot see true reality. You are mere human. In order to know reality you must consult any of the Orishas.
