Re: Carlos Castaneda
I agree. Frijtfof Capra, also. But this illustrates my point. As long as non confessional theology does not come back to academy, we open the road of the lack of rigor in the field, and we provide jobs to the charlatans, and retired Doctors. Actually, theology has been ejected out of the academy, due to such charlatan, and stay out of the academy by the effect of those charlatans and their allies.

Those people are making money on lies and deceptions. They should be judged and comdamned and their leaders put in jail. It has nothing to do with health, and nothing to do with religion. Absolutely nothing.
