I remember reading about the conceopt of the "supersoul" on a Hare Krishna site. Is that where you got the info from? My information was from encyclopedias and books at the library on LI when I was at LIU.Quote

Krishna's got loads of adherents too. And I'm pretty sure neither he nor JC are coming back from the dead.Quote

Perhaps I can go out into the street today after work and wear a shirt that says, "Richard Green is Lord of Drunkenness and Carousing." Would I be accurately representing you? I have the free will to do so; you could not stop me. Perhaps if one was interested in knowing about you, he could go to the source, yourself. One could be irresponsible, and take the word of some nameless activist on the street, or one could be objective. Not everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven's goin' there, and I'm sure you'd agree to that. Read Matthew 7: 21-23 and see what's in store for these false representatives of our Holy God.
I donb't think my views are full of logicca holes. Most world religious systems have essentially the same morall code. They often have similar beliefs and modes of conduct like the Code of Hammurbi.Quote

Not as if there's any compulsion, but you didn't address my first question. Are all adherents to organized religion cultists, or not?
When you replied,
"Actually, I don't drink and I don't fool around. Also, you'd be subject to a lawsuit for slander."
I think you made my point for me. In any just system, there are consequences for unrighteous behavior, such as this slanderous t-shirt. Those verses affirm just that. Are you intersested in meaningful dialogue about these issues, or are you just putting up smoke screens? I can respect either one. I may be guilty of assuming that a conclusion to a given controversy has not been reached before the exchange of ideas has occurred. I will disclose the reason for my joining this forum: To test my philosophies and world views against others, and to see where they fall short. These types of discussions are good at exposing one's ignorance about one's own belief systems. I would prefer to not have a world view full of logical holes. How about you?
