Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Can we trust what we are told is safe?: 1 of 4
Can we trust what we are told is safe? Can we trust what we are told is safe? This to me is a very open ended question. So much so that it should cause all of us to ponder just what are we told?

What catches my eye here is.."Motherhood according to mainstream cultural ideals", there is the answer...."ACCORDING TO".

Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts New age belief and Christianity: 22 of 26
I always find it funny that "Christianity" is always judging other religions. Does it not say in the "Christian" bible thou shall not judge?
