My posts on the topic of Christian Patriarchy, Reconstructionism, and other issues within conservative, fundamentalist, and Evangelical Christianity have proven to be my most popular posts.
Because of this, I decided I should create an index page just for these posts, for those who wish to explore my writings on these issues. Some of these were intentionally written about religious topics, while others reveal my experiences as they relate to the books I was reading or other things I was thinking about at the time.
