you are a fucking idiot to read prejudice into a comment about flying machines 
in the vedas - I don't give thought to hindus anymore than i do christians, 
muslims, shinto or any other religion, especially the obsessive compulsive 
religion of posting insults to Barry about Rama no matter what he may say and 
the religion of believing that all things TM-ish came from Buddhism.

What I find about a lot of "debunkers" is they are only doing so on an 
"emotional reaction."  IOW, they have no logical basis and can't because 
of the subjects have NOT been examined and researched enough.  So it's 
just a gut reaction that "this can't be."   Real scientists and folks 
who have scientific minds might find it more interesting to explore the 
subject and see if there is any validity to it.

One particular subject is a polar shift.  There was actual research 
done  and indeed evidence was found that the poles have shifted in the 
past.  Thing is the shift took place of a couple million years so any 
humans around would not have notice anything.  Of course all bets are 
off that if would take the same about of time again and that a quick 
shift might occur for reasons yet unknown to science.

 YAHWEH NUKED US BEFORE TRUMAN--Sasha Lessin, Ph.D. (Anthropology, UCLA) 
 Web Radio, article,

 The horrors perpetrated by Harry Truman, the U.S. President, when he 
 ordered the civilian populations of Hiroshima, and, if that were not 
 enough, Nagasaki also (to quickly end WWII and beat the Russians to 
 Japan), were nothing new on this planet.

 3,663 years ago, Yahweh, known then as Enlil, a 9 -12 foot fully Homo 
 Sapien ET from the Planet Nibiru, 49 astronomical units from Earth, 
 ordered nuclear attacks on the people and cities south of  the (thence) 
 Dead Sea in Canaan and on a spaceport he ran in Sinai.  The fallout 
 immediately blew over and killed most of the Sumerian Earthlings--those 
 loyal to Yahweh.  The moral: Those who support such horrid aggression 
 experience, in their turn, the horrors they support.  This article's a 
 plea: DISARM NUKES, NEGOTIATE PEACE AND COOPERATION FOR ALL.

Sure it makes me laugh but no more than Jehovas witnesses, 
scientology or spoon bending. It's all about whether you have an
evidence based view of the world or a belief based one. 

But do you think it's somehow different from biblical beliefs 
about God smiting the caananites and the fiery chariot in Ezekiel?
The old testament is where the new age get their inspiration. The Xtians weird 
beliefs seem normal simply because they've been with
us for longer and have become a tradition. And don't get me started
on flying machines in the Vedas, I'm sure Nabby will tell you that's
all proof of extraterrestrials.

If all ideas were fresh, which would you think crazy? Afternoon
tea might be a lonely experience for you. Me, I don't care what
people believe as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, and my new age
friends who believe in all sorts of channeling and weird shit are
no different from my TM friends or my Christian ones, as long as 
they don't try and convert me they'll get scones and jam on my
best china for sure.

People will believe all kinds of stuff - a while back, that Drunvalo 
Melchizedek guy was putting his stamp of approval on this water that supposedly 
was energized by some sufi guys or some such, and the claim for the water was 
that it would not only heal people of their ailments, but if poured into a 
lake, pond or stream would clear the water of any and all pollution. People in 
California were paying $400.00 a pint for this stuff. What bullshit.

True, but with reason. It was *he* who took it further,
and you who failed to be able to follow where he took it.

Salyavin was doing no such thing. He was EQUATING 
beliefs like this with beliefs in things like astrology
or crystal healing, saying (if I got what he was saying)
that these beliefs are in the SAME ballpark of crazy as
aliens nuking the planet 3,663 years ago. 

I agree with him. And that's not even venturing into
the realm of belief in things like a guy turning water
into wine or rising from the dead or Ganesha leaping
from mainland India to Ceylon or beings like Krishna,
Rama, and Sita ever having existed. Or that the direction 
a building faces affects you, or that by closing your
eyes and mentally repeating a Magic Word you've been
given, you can personally experience what Einstein
referred to as the Unified Field. 

ALL of these beliefs are fuckin' BONKERS, seen from the
point of view of someone -- anyone -- who has not spent
years or decades being indoctrinated into them. 

What I think you may have missed in Salyavin's post is
that he was making the case that the *extremity* of
this particular set of beliefs can be seen as a metaphor
for the extremity of ALL religious/spiritual beliefs,
if you just step back from them and view them critically,
devoid of pre-programmed acceptance. 

> But all I'm saying is that I am pretty sure that anyone 
> who would believe this particular theory isn't likely to 
> be having afternoon tea at my abode; I prefer not to hang 
> out with crazies.

Yet on this forum you "hang out" with people whose beliefs
are *just* as ludicrous, when seen without the overlay of
decades of indoctrination. You would be hanging out with
people just as crazy (from my point of view) if you hung
out with fundamentalist Christians, or orthodox Jews, or
Hindus or even some Southeast Asian flavors of Buddhists. 

Once they have bought into a belief system, they *lose
the ability to look at their beliefs critically, the way
someone who does not buy into them would*. The person
who came up with this jiveass horseshit about aliens
nuking the Middle East three millennia ago CANNOT SEE
HOW ANYONE WOULD CONSIDER IT WEIRD OR CRAZY. 

Neither can anyone equally invested in *their* particular
belief system. They are so *used to* and *immersed in*
the belief system as to no longer be able to understand
how anyone else could not be. 

Now think about Fairfield Life. People regularly post the
same old propaganda here about "the latest TM research," 
and are AMAZED that people aren't creaming their jeans 
over it the way that they are. People post exhortations 
to "come back to the domes" to save the world, completely
unaware that to many of us, the idea of them bouncing on
their collective butts twice a day as a mechanism *for*
saving the world is JUST as insane as Yahweh nuking the 
Middle East three millennia ago. 

One *picks* the crazies one hangs out with, that's all.

Your are welcome. I am curious though, why you believe these things. For 
example, Benjamin Creme's predictions have been as successful as the Jehovah's 
Witnesses' predictions about the end of the world and the coming of Christ. 
Whatever lifestyle Creme aspires to, he seems to be able to sustain it by 
convincing people about what he says. I mean, you seem to be really attracted 
to this; it must have some special meaning for you. I tend to be 
extraordinarily sceptical. That is not necessarily a blessing, because some of 
the fun and even beauty of life can be missed if that doubt goes too far. But 
to me, you do seem to be on the far fringe of certain beliefs about the world, 
so it is natural for me to wonder why that is. I seem to have struck a nerve 
there. It will heal. But, why is this so important?
