| - | The question remains: Alternative to what? By placing these nonreligious views in this article instead of the "Thelema & Religion" article, all that is being accomplished is to ghettoize the contemporary perspectives. Why not include this stuff in the section in [[Thelema & Religion]] where the question of differentiating between the religious and nonreligious is directly discussed?? This is what was proposed by myself and Paradoxos Alpha, and you said you wanted to see how it turned out. Why are you now, before it has been completed, trying to have it both ways? It makes for a very confusing presentation of the material and reduces the possibility that the material which you have included here will be found by those who are examining the question. --[[User:Thiebes|Thiebes]] 00:37, 9 Mar 2005 (CST) | + | : This article would be tough to rewite, but I myself wouldn't object.

| - | ::I disagree. I feel that forcing non-religious views of Thelema into an article about "Thelema & Religion" is ghettoizing it.

| - | ::::The point is that it is essentially hidden is a large article mostly discussing religion. I did look at it. It hides and qualifies my views in a way that I don't agree with. As I said before, the topic deserves two viewpoints and two articles. Please simply link to the [[Non-religious Views of Thelema]] rather than attempting to copy or source this article into [[Thelema & Religion]]. This is an article that stands on its own, and it is not finished. I intend to expand it significantly. The whole point of trying to force me to put my material into [[Thelema & Religion]] seems to be to pre-qualify the idea of Thelema as "not a religion" with a "but it really is" context. I don't agree that that accurately reflects the views that I am attempting to document. [[User:Aleph|Aleph]] | + | [[User:Frater C.U.G.|Frater C.U.G.]] 01:35, 6 Nov 2005 (CST) |

This article should be blanked and written from scratch. The article has been copied over from FET, which site contains degree secrets of OTO. As a project of OTO, it is inappropriate for Thelemapedia to link to FET; and any content originating from that site must be cited with a link back; therefore, we should not copy or derive articles from FET.
