2.6 Philosophy: Dogma vs Doctrine
The Temple of Set has no dogma, but it does have teachings. We're sometimes

The REF document includes some discussion detailing the distinction I see
between doctrine and dogma.
There is some disagreement on this issue, primarily I believe because
people use different definitions for dogma. For example, in reviewing a
draft of this FAQ, Magus Don Webb, the High Priest, suggested I erred in my
statement above:
DW> Actually the Temple of Set does have dogma:
DW> 1. Being and Becoming are Good.
DW> 2. Being and Becoming can be enhanced by consciously chosen
activities including Magic.
DW> 3. The Temple of Set, if properly maintained and used as a tool can
be used to obtain Being and Becoming.
DW> That's about it.
