A 真kta Method for Comparative Theology: Upside-Down, Inside-Out offers a 真kta thealogy of religions and a 真kta anti-method, method, and a-method for comparative theology. For 真ktas, the thread of religious diversity is part of the rich tapestry of cosmological, topographical, environmental, and bio-diversity, which is the Goddess' collective (sam篆i) and individuated (vy篆i) forms. 真kta religious diversity is "complex, layered, and paradoxical, allowing ontological similarities, ontological differences, and irreducibility." A 真kta thealogy of religious diversity transcends humans and the borders of religion, politics, society, and speciesism.
