I don't know if people still check this group or not, and I know I'm really new to the group (and LJ in general), but I occasionally check up on project shift's site to see if any new articles have been posted and have been a little disappointed to not find any. But recently I just did a big study with my mate and wrote an essay of sorts on my findings and I wonder if maybe Project Shift would be interested in posting it.
Being a pretty devout Christian I've always had a problem with the typical "animals don't have souls" doctrine because I've felt my therianthropy to be very spiritual, but I also felt that by feeling it was spiritual I was going against my faith. So this was the focus in my study, to take an in depth look at what the soul really is (in the context of Christianity) and how therianthropy fits into it. I touch on psychological therianthropy in the beginning then go into spiritual therianthropy where I actually look at the Hebrew words used in the creation story and break apart things that way.
I already have it posted on the Therian Discovery Forum, but I'd be honored to have it listed on project shift too. Since I had so much trouble for so long with my faith saying that I can't have my identity (and not wanting to forsake either one), I'd like to help prevent others who may be in the same boat from having the troubles I did.
Here's a link to the essay on TDF (therian discovery forum) if anyone here cares to read it and maybe give me some feedback. ^^;
