Re: Another mis-characterization
Namaste FFTW,
Ridiculous article. Filled with so many inaccurate statements and inconsistencies I lost count after the first few paragraphs. Was this author an Indian? I find that very hard to believe. It sounded like something written by some highly ignorant evangelical Christian that's been brainwashed all his life out in the Bible Belt of the States.
I find it impossible to accept any form of religion as profitable because of the in-your-face evil that is rampant in society.
Religion by its very nature cannot be personal, no religion has succeeded in transforming an individual or a society,
only authentic, personal faith has the capacity for a direct relationship with one’s Maker.
Aren't the bold statements complete contradictions of each other? This author doesn't seem to even know what he wants to say. He seems to be advocating the type of spirituality that is more in line with SD; that is, relying on direct experience with God by yourself, and not becoming dependent on what others teach you explicitly about what is and what is not. And yet, he seems to think Christianity is really like this, but because of the church it is misrepresented or misunderstood? I don't think so.
It helps to know this article was poorly written, not just in taste, but in the accuracy of his facts and arguments. Not even the commentors at the end of the article seem fooled by this nonsense.
Om namah Shivaya
"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
