Let me add something...
The whole world is suffering, and that suffering is increased because of false teachings and false beliefs.
In this forum people hold onto false teachings as tightly as possibe, and not because they have truth, but because of their selfish materialistic personal agendas....this is called dishonesty, and i will not tolerate it ...[text shortened]... us people saying we have only one life and the soul is created at birth....all this is nonsense.

You are certainly deluded in my view, but I wouldn't consider you dishonest.

Grant you that having delusional beliefs (which includes yours) doesn't help, but “suffering is increased BECAUSE of false teachings and false beliefs”? In another thread you were apparently dismissive of all science -even medical science! (which you said does nothing to stop suffering). How would, for example, medical science INCREASE suffering? -I mean, it is clearly obvious that it generally does the exact opposite!

Touchy? so what? Is that supposed to get under my skin?
Try again.

I really dont see what you expect of people. What? everyone read the Vedas? Variety is the spice of life and the "truth"can be found within and in other scouces. What happened to Neal Donald Walsh?

One Zen master enlightened 500 disciples. Another enlightened only one. I see no difference, They both did their jobs.
It is not my responsibility to enlighten anyone,.......it is the studying of Vedanta, and the practicing of Vedanta principle of purification, that will give the person the enlightenment they seek. NOT ME

Originally posted by vishvahetuYou are entirely mistaken if you truly think that you can 'trash' someone's beliefs, false or otherwise, by rudely dismissing them.

Of course I realise that popularity is not your primary concern here, but how do you feel about the possibility that you are actually steering people away from what you believe to be the truth?

My choice of words trash ( i could of used a better word) means that the cancer has no value, and after removal it is thrown in the trash.
The entire world is suffering due to a poor fund of knowledge, and everyone operates and functions from the basis of their personal knowledge, so if it is wrong, then their entire life is based on a false premise, which causes all the conflict in the world.

A 68 yr old man on the pension who watches TV all day, smokes, eats meat, drinks alcohol, is taken to hospital and given a heart transplant. WHY?
And after you answer that question, please tell me why you are mis-quoting me....where have i said, i am against all science and medicine.
When a person twists the words of another, so as to make the other person appear in error, then its to be understood that they have nothing to offer, and so they therefore falsely attack the other person to enhance "their" position....will you stop doing that please, and stay honest?
