Ok, I think i should explain myself, since there is a discussion about me going on, in another thread between Robbie and Fabian.
Before coming into this forum way back,I read many postings and could see that the believers where battling the non believers, and because i have had the good fortune to have studied Vedanta in my life, I thought it would be agood idea to come to the forum and sought it all out.
I could see that the atheists where putting forward false beliefs, and also the religious people where putting forward their false beliefs as well.
Since I dont subscibe to atheism or false religious teachings, I considered what i had to offer valuable.
Only problem was that people are not willing to give up their false beliefs, and after much discussion, I was left with just telling them they where foolish.
Telling a foolish person that they are foolish is not an insult, and telling a dishonest person that they are dishonest, isnt an insult either.
An insult would be if i said you where a bastard, because how would i know if you didnt have a father. (i wouldnt know) so it would be insulting to describe you, as something that you are not.
My apology was for the misunderstanding that you might have, in thinking that i am deliberatly insulting you, but I am not....what I am doing, is describing your behaviour, for instance..
If your talk is silly talk, I might say in frustration you are a nitwit, (describing your behaviour) because you are behaving like a nitwit.
If you talk nonsense ( no sence) then I will say, hey you are talking no sense, or (nonsense).....that is not insulting, its truth, and i cant keep discussing if someone talks no sense, it too difficult, and unproductive.
Now you may not know this, but I do see the suffering in the world, and I know for sure, that its because of all the false teachings in religion and science, and because i feel compassion towards every living thing, I feel I must at least try and show people, where the teachings are wrong.
And whats been happening is, that people want to hold on to their false beliefs so tightly, that they get offended when I attempt to show them where the falsity is. (they get upset) and then attack me.
Actually this is to be expected, because to change ones beliefs is very difficult, especially if their life style is under scrutiny.
Also there is someone in this forum, saying I hate christians, and this is nonsense, I have never said that, its a lie, and I hate nobody, but I do hate false teachings of any kind, from religion or science.
Vedanta has been with mankind long before Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and every other "ism" on the planet, and it is authentic and covers everthing about the spiritual life, that is nescessary to raise your consciousness and develope real loving sentiments with God, and Gods creation.
Many people have been burnt by false religion, and now they assume there is no such thing as bonafide religion, and they become bitter.
