About the Author

 Hello Readers,

    My name is Maia Nichi.  I am a wife and a mother in Michigan.  Ever since my firstborn was born, I have been filled with a new desire to research and build a case for my beliefs.  I was raised in a Christian home and have believed in Jesus Christ for most of my life.  But faced with the responsibility of raising my son, I want to test the foundations of my beliefs and see how strong they are.  Why do I believe what I believe?  Why do other people hold different beliefs?  Who has the truth?  

    The purpose of this blog is to search alongside you all for the truth.  I am a regular person and have limited knowledge about other religions.  I want to use this blog to document my research journey.  We will research many religions, their origins, beliefs, practices, and history.  We will tear them apart bit by bit and try to separate the truth from the stories.  I want this to be a space for philosophers, thinkers, and critics to unite.  I expect everyone to refrain from name-calling and derogatory language in the comments.  Disagreements are inevitable and encouraged, but they should be done with maturity and respect.  It is never easy to have your beliefs challenged, believe me, I know.  But if we can put our feelings aside and approach this from purely an objective perspective, I believe we can find the truth together.

    Thank you for joining me on this journey!  Feel free to email me with questions, blog suggestions, insights, clarification, or comments. 


Let's find that needle,

Maia Nichi
