Leave the poor guy alone.   Christians are dualists.  It's not his decision to make. They live in a belief system where Satan, not God, rules the world.    This is why he was attracted to his version of Christianity. Instead of finding his contorted facial tics within his own nature and accepting them as part of himself, his ego found it more healing to think that it was satan that did it.    It gives one more of a sense of control. Moreover, one can focus on being primarily positive and at the same time damn all those things considered sinful.    Instead of having all things within ones own self.   If you suggest that to Christians then they will freak. It's like pulling the carpet out from under them.   So leave the poor guy alone.  Don't poke him.  Have some compassion.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Archer To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 10:43 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM and Christianity: PBS feature Perhaps Kai can address this. I often wonder how Christians reconcile the belief that God is omnipresent with the belief that humans are essentially sinful or that they can't realize their essential oneness with Him, or that such oneness doesn't exist. If God is really everywhere, nothing is closer or more intimate than He is. He is our very core, so how can sin be our core?
