About John of AllFaith
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can offer answers on a wide variety of religious topics about the world's religions including, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sikhism, Paganism, Noahide, Taoism, etc. If the question is of a religious nature give me a shot and I'll do my best! See my questions and answers at allfaith.com/questions

A Statement to Students about Plagiarism any why I answer questions:

    Plagiarism is a crime.
    Plagiarism can end careers, lead to expulsion from school, the loss of financial aid, and can even result in fines and imprisonment in some cases. Its not worth it!
    Despite this a small percentage of those who ask questions at AllExperts, Yahoo Answers etc. copy and paste our answers as their own, often without giving credit. This is plagiarism. Its not worth it!
    We all know that one can google a homework question and in many cases find an easy response, but so can your teachers! Many teachers are aware that some students do this and catch their cheating students.
    To read more about this go to the following link. Its a conversation between one such teacher from a respectable institution of learning and me: where she writes: ...I have had over 20 students copy your work in the past 3 months...
    Understand that if you plagiarize you are cheating your instructors, your answerer, your fellow students, everyone who respects you... and ultimately yourself. Its just not worth it!
    Please use our answers to help in your research, not to replace it.
    Learn, don't cheat.

    Experience
    Since 1969 I've been involved with many diverse spiritual and religious disciplines. I've lived in ashrams and monasteries, acquired ordinations and degrees and so on.
