You aren't an authority on Hinduism, but you know for a fact that a billion Hindus agree with you?
You aren't an authority on Hinduism, but you know exactly what you're talking about? Oooooopsie. Michael, you're really crashing and burning here, making it all too clear how closed your mind is to any ideas that aren't perfectly in accord with yours. You won't even open your mind far enough to find out why people are telling you something you're convinced isn't true. You've decided nobody here can possibly know any more than you do about the nature of Hinduism. Yet you say you aren't an authority on Hinduism--and you don't see the contradiction. You were seriously mistaken to claim the idea that Hinduism is a philosophy comes only from MMY. Is there anything else you could possibly, conceivably be mistaken about? You're smarter than you're making yourself look. You're stuck in some kind of blind spot that doesn't reflect well on you at all. You, noozgu and auth all get together, go to Hindu temple, tell them their religion is not a religion - then come here and yap. I am not the authority on Hinduism, ask a Hindu priest. 1 billion Hindus agree with me. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 3/26/14, steve.sundur@... mailto:steve.sundur@... <steve.sundur@... mailto:steve.sundur@...> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: No Mantra will cure willfully arrogant stupidity To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2014, 1:22 PM Michael, Michael, Michael, are just completely blind. Here you are arguing, "I am the authority, listen to me", and that is what you are accusing me of doing. I believe that fallacy is called, "appeal to authority". Now someone just pointed out that there is a rather large spectrum of belief, but you are, as if, touching one part of the elephant and declaring it to be the final word. hooboy. Is a mirror handy? Oh, and thanks for the mandatory tie in to TM bashing. No post of yours would be complete without it. Love ya though. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : you are looking in the mirror as you say that - I know exactly what I am talking about. I don't know what affiliation you and noozguru have had with the TMO but you are displaying the exact same kind of hubris and arrogance the TMO has displayed for nearly 60 years. "Oh, I know better than everyone else about the entire world, including the religion of a billion people. I know it better than they do cause of my specialized knowledge from me oh so very special guru." Stay arrogant, as is our tradition. And instead of reviling what I have proposed, take it seriously. Really, go to a Hindu temple just before their worship service and tell them you are there to explain to them how their religion is not a religion. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 3/26/14, steve.sundur@... <steve.sundur@...> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: No Mantra will cure willfully arrogant stupidity To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2014, 3:48 AM That's how it generally works Michael. When shown to be in error, just double down, or triple down on the error. You have no idea what you're talking about, and so you're trying the "baffle with bullshit" angle. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : you are both full of it - if you are going to stick to this assertion, try it out - you don't even have to go to India - go to your local Hindu temple, waltz in and tell the priests they are not really priests, they are just philosophers. Tell the worshipers they are not actually worshiping their gods and goddesses, they are just practicing philosophy. People don't generally kill each other over philosophy, but they damn sure do over religion. Muslims get killed in India not because they insult a philosophy but because they have insulted the a religion, or some aspect of the religion. If Hinduism was a philosophy it would be called one rather than one of the worlds MAJOR RELIGIONS - but I guess you two know better than a billion Hindus and 5,000 years or so of a religion's existence. You assertion is one of the most absurd contentions I have seen on FFL and that's saying something.
