You maintain that belief systems are integral to permaculture when, in your 
case,
those are fundamentalist Christian and that you have observed a large number 
and
great variety of other systems many adhere to as they practice permaculture 
and
integrate it into their lives, though, as you say, they are embedded in the 
permaculture
experience. So is it the sheer number of different permaculture belief 
systems that
nauseates you or is it that they are not Fundamentalist Christian?
If the latter, why do you not include Quakers, Anglicans, Unitarian 
Universalist Fellowship,
all the mainstream Protestant churches, and Catholics in the index of 
approved-for-permaculture
Christian religions? What about Holy Rollers, Pentecostals, Mormons, Jehova's 
Witnesses and
Seventh Day Adventists. What about Hindus, Buddhists, followers of Islam, 
Zoroastrians, Rosicrucians,
Ananda Marga & Self Realization Fellowship, followers of Paramahansa 
Yogananda, followers of Sri Ramakrishna,
followers of Meher Baba, the Coptic Church, Wiccans, Pagans, Druids, 
worshippers of the original Greek religion who
recently practiced their rites at a Greek Temple, Jesuit Catholics, all Anglicans and Catholics who have taken holy 
orders, Nature worshippers of all sorts and Followers of the Great God Pan. TM and Moonies, Ommmmm.

Enlightenment is where you find it.

It was worth posting the OT political ad to get your reply.

Fundamentalist Christianity may hold the key to Mankind's salvation but some
who would seek that path may not if it shuns the other religions of the world.
