I don't really know- the research is in the hopper. I plan to build a decent links list, a related subjects page, reading library, and similar things. Of course, I can't do it alone, which is why I created this community.
Dark Christianity morphed from a dozen people grumbling about religious extremists to a highly educated community that continues to do research and look out for toxic groups. It spawned several other groups, including Talk to Action, and there is a book or two in progress.
I hope to achieve something similar with this group. There will be a lot of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) generated in the next few years, and the economy, war, environment, and of course, the religious cohort will spin into that and exponentially inflate it. I'd like this community to be an island of sanity, a beacon of light, and a reliable resource on fact vs. woo-woo nonsense.
Pretty big goals, I know. But I think we have a good lead-in and accretion time to build up our reliability capital. (Listen to me using social/business jargon... shame on me!)
