THE HARE KRISHNA MOVEMENT IS IT GOOD OR BAD PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINIONS PLEASE

Hi John. No need to shout, we're not deaf.

To answer your question: it's a religion, thus it's bad.

Don't see much of it about these days.

... 'religion' or cult (with considerable presence in our busiest airports in years past)?

Why do you write 'religion', but not 'cult'?

Nothing is inherently good or bad 😀

I've spent many months at the KRSNA temple down the road. While it may not be perfect , I felt their system was generally better than the society I had left when I entered through the gates.

... informally quoting Great King Rat's comment which omits 'cult'.

Genocide isn't inherently bad?
Rape isn't inherently bad?


I think I am rejecting that out of hand.

If something's definition includes "evil" or "bad" then it's evil or bad by definition. But definitions are not inherent properties of a thing, even if the definition is universally accepted. Genocide and rape are not universally considered evil or bad, given that in some circumstances, some people sanction their use as in the interests of the force carrying them out.

Thankyou for your opinion iam just dipping my toe in the spiritual ocean at the moment,guess iam a spiritual refugee, in a way i understand and agree with you as religion has caused a lot of trouble.

I'm sticking with my original claim.
