Okay, yes, I went back to the first page, but I just noticed that the Christian group is the only one that is private. Hmmmm....what's that saying? Oh yeah, "Nothing changes under the sun."

Hi Sandy, Don't worry about the private part. That's just to keep down the roaming trolls and instigators that are everywhere these days. In an open forum with a religious title it just seems to attract atheists looking for an argument.
You're very welcome to join. Although I like it here more myself, there is only so much one can learn from religion.

I think it is way around. Usually it's Christians who are always looking for an argument. How about centuries of bloodshed and destruction? Spanish Inquisition as an instrument of religious persecution, torture and repression? They forced the Vikings to abandon their Odin/Thor religion, took Great Spirit Spirituality from Native Americans that led them to drinking because they had nothing to hold on? And many others. Hawaiians had Christian missionaries taking away theirs and they also tried to take away their native dancing/drums but their last Hawaiian King David fought to save it. Don't forget Holocaust done to jews, gypsies, homosexuals by Nazi/Hilter with Catholic Church's blessing.

Acharya S was threatened by Christians and probably still is (Archarya S is an author of several books on religion based on astrotheology, archaeoastronomy, history, mythology...) She showed many ugly and hateful emails from Christians years ago, but she doesn't do that anymore. She couldn't use her real name so used "Acharya S" which means "Teacher" until one of them managed to find out her real name and threatened her with her young son so they had to go in hiding. Now she uses her real name, but not full name which is just D.M. Murdock. She says she is not looking to convert people into atheists, but to provide people with what she found. She traveled all over and is a scholar. Look at people's comments to her.

I just found your site! You are the bravest woman in the entire world! I grew up roman catholic.... I have researched for many years the mysteries. Your research is so important.
So many conclusions I have come to reading books that are 100+ years old; you present in clear demystifying form. Thank you for courage it takes to bring light to the darkest topic in the world right now.
Watching you reminded me of the story of Hypatia, the last female philosopher and scientist who was slaughtered by Christian fanatics. My heart has always been shaken by the story.

Again I want to thank you. Your reasoning Is perfect. History is not as we now it. All history has been manipulated & rewritten. I find most people can not be reasoned with. We are now living in very dangerous times & will most likely awake to a very different world soon. Bless you for your mind, intellect & probing mind.
I agree with you.

Yowser !!!
FINALLY! My mind-Spirit can BREATHE ... released from strangleholds directed at me since 1952. You have given expression to what I have felt but could not find the words to express so clean & clear.
As a child I resisted the "normal indoctrination of 'Christianity.'" This was simply my Instinct ... though leaving me bewildered, hurt & confused until NOW. After rote Churchianity rituals, I was usually left with the feeling: "Where's the Love?" - - often heard but less often demonstrated.
Beyond that pale, I DO believe in Loving Truly.
I love your Loving Truths, Acharya/D.M.M.

Vince, I am not trying to pick an argument with you. Just to show you that usually it's way around. Recently a fanatic Christian shot to death a doctor who performed abortions...shot him at Church!

Hugs to you!

I agree totally Bryn, If you want an arguement just suggest something other then accepted doctrine.
I am a Christian only in the sense that I believe in Jesus, Not any religion. You are right, It's always been the fanatics pushing their beliefs and causing wars and death. Not what Christ would want. Fanatics have ruined every religion long ago.
Real Christians are on their own these days. But that's okay, God will guide each one in his own time.

Fair enough, Vince People shouldn't be forced to accept someone else's belief...same as force-feeding. Everyone has a different path. Everyone walks to a different drum beat.
