Why? Why would *their* beliefs need to be "respected" any more than the beliefs of anyone else? And how is presenting a different view a *lack* of respect? > ...but then again, they don't really care, they are > 'detatched' from what you say or do against their > belief and their devotion... Simply not true. IF that were true, they wouldn't so consistently try to demonize those who present dif- ferent views to their own. I think you misread my post; what I'm *advocating* is a lack of attachment to one's beliefs, and a lack of lashing out at those who present different beliefs. That is NOT what is happening on Fairfield Life among the TM cultists. And yes, I call them cultists. Because of their *behavior*, not their beliefs. This "fair game" policy is pretty much *textbook* cult behavior, and as long as they indulge in it, cultists they are, and cultists they will remain. > So, messing with them will get you no where, because > the more you try to persuade them, the more they will > pray for more devotion... > So, there ya' go... You're starting to sound a little like a cultist yourself, Robert. I'm not trying to "persuade" them about ANYTHING. I am merely stating my honest opinions. At no point do I ask them to accept my opinion or change their own. They just react *as if* I had. That, too, is textbook cultist behavior.
