  Paranominal — Authority: 171

• Something Less Than Christian

  
  The Curious Christian — Authority: 107
  Is it okay for a Christian to be tired of Christianity? I sure hope so, because I am. This week I was not Christian enough for other Christians.

• Can you smell the cognitive dissonance?

  
  Irresistible (Dis)Grace — Authority: 466
  For a while now, I’ve been somewhat blind and deaf to the entire concept of “cognitive dissonance.” I have understood the basic concept, but I guess it has been time in the ex-mormon community that has deafened me to its nuance. Cogdis this. Cogdis that. TSCC. These seem more like buzz words. There was a guest ...

• normal excess versus food abuse

  
  zazamataz.com — Authority: 116
  This has been a difficult topic. There seems to be a clear, yet ill defined gray area between what is normal and what is abuse.
