  Today I want to expand on a statement I made in my previous email, A Wisdom Option for Dealing with Life in a Toxic Infosphere . “ Biblical Heritages have a way to protect themselves and their children from the symptoms I described above – I am talking about people in these groups: Jews, Christians, and Nones .” After I clicked the button that sent the emails, I began feeling like something was wrong.
