From time to time, I get questions from people in the form of "have you ever heard of ____?" The topics are almost always from a short list of things that seem to grab people's attention. Here is my response to one such email today.
When looking for further light and truth, I don't see claims of spiritual experiences as something that necessarily gets my attention. I look for information that possess the potential to help me be better in ways I don't yet know about or presently lack the strength to accomplish. You'll find that in the realm of distractions, there aren't many unique entries. Topically, UFOs and anything regarding women in heaven rank high on the distraction list, as neither one has anything to do with personal repentance, and both are usually used as a way to have something special without having to become someone special--which is the exact recipe followed by every popular religion.
