Religion meme
Oct. 18th, 2005 09:14 pm( What religion do I fit in with? )
So this was interesting, because this week one of the papers for the worldviews class homework was Gerard's own paper on traditional religiousness vs. subjective spirituality. That is, people can be both -- the medieval Catholic mystics certainly were -- and the paper discusses these as relatively independent traits, distinguished in part by one of the standard personality scale factors, "openness to experience." (By the way, I don't think I'd rate particularly high on "subjective spirituality," unlike this meme, because I actually don't have much of a taste for the paranormal.)
