about half way through, i thought.... what the hell...why am i tainting my mind with this?... but you are right fry2 ... it is nice to know that with
as paranoid as we are on this board... there is always someone jumping past...saying "wheeee". As for your question tracer... I don't mean to make
light of it, as they say in school... the only stupid question is the one not asked. i can say this... i owned a new age gift/book shop for many
years and whoever wrote the drivel on that site...didn't do any homework. The New Age religion is not one religion...it is all, under an umbrella.
Someone who is a buddist is a new ager but they don't know they are... someone who is into Tao, is a new ager but doesn't mind the misnomer...New
age is a slang term to encompass all the new and old religions, mainly for use in the new age industry. It is easier to describe a wide variety of
religions under an umbrella than list them all. So instead, the term new age became a word to describe all the religions "new and old". The only
way you can really use this in a sentence is as a misnomer... i.e "She was really into the New Age religion". is incorrect use... more cortrect use
would be " She was into New Age religions" ... and would still be inaccurate unless they said something more specific, like astrology, or buddism.
