Some friends of mine here - Protestants, as it happens - have been reading some of the Spirituality threads over the last few weeks, and they are unanimous: RJHinds is offering a clever and observant parody. As Christians, my friends, albeit not extremists by any intellectual measure, are aghast - and, maybe because of cultural factors - they are not so able or inclined to laugh it off, despite the fact that many of the things RJHinds comes out with are an absolute hoot.
Originally posted by FMF You supported Dasa when he was in RJHinds mode. And now you're not supporting RJHinds when he's in Dasa mode. Why the difference?
I didn't support a lot of Dasa's crap. I did like his source material.
Got it now? The difference is the source material.

I think he's dead serious. Unfortunately the most vocal Christians tend to be fundies
Originally posted by josephw I'm not sure how much RJ and I would agree on the finer points of doctrine, but in the main I'd say that his arguments are sound.
Which is evidenced by the fact that he is being vilified in this thread.
Is it time ...
