Welcome to the Temple of Sophia a site maintained by Bruce Culver as a dedication to his Goddess, whom he calls Sophia. It is not associated with any established religion.
The site contains philosophical essays and other writings by Bruce, along with many links to other sites. Bruce hopes that you will find something here to inspire and or interest you.
This site is very much a work in progress. In fact, I would say it is in its infancy.
So far, it contains only a few fairly short main pages and some note pages. My apologies for its lack of cohesiveness. Hopefully it is at least marginally coherent. I advise starting with one of the statements of purpose, depending on your inclination and then following the links. I think I have linked to some pretty interesting sites, so happy surfing. I advise Christians to begin here.
If you find any factual errors
in my pages, please contact me. I certainly do not wish to misinform anyone,
but no one is perfect.
