It's simple, Ravi. Buck justifying censorship, shunning, banning, and even the death penalty for apostates is in her eyes funny.

The problem is clearly with YOUR sensa yooma, Ravi, not hers. :-) > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Ravi Yogi" <raviyogi@> wrote: > > > > > > Buckji - spirituality is never for others always for oneself. > > > If your love for the beloved is so easily threatened by others > > > it's time to examine your love. > > > > Et tu, Ravi?
