Exactly. Thats why, for the moment I discontinue our dialog about
atheism and bhakti. I also feel its mainly a quarrel about words,
which are like boxes you imagine the other to be in..
I'm not imagining anything about you Michael, I just go by what you
say. You seemed to non-sequitur on to different POV completely from
what I was talking about. It's kinda hard to respond to someone who
didn't seem to get the gist of what you were saying in the first place.
I hardly think the type of Theists we have to worry about are various
Hindu (or Christian, Jewish or Sufi, etc.) saints! It's adherents at
an entirely different developmental stage who seem to be the ones
causing problems, both in the present and in the past.
I actually suspect, based on things you've shared in the past, that we
actually have quite a bit in common. Bhakti type approaches were just
never my cup of tea, that's all.
