I get your point of view but do you get mine? I don't think so. It may be my lack of communication skills, instead of your difficulty in seeing other people's opinions. Yes, opinions. No, I am not wounded. Don't worry about me, perhaps your sarcasm should also recognize mine.
Then there are no right or wrong opinions just mine, yours and theirs. That's what they are called opinions, right?
But about our Journeys, it is good to exchange experiences. I have learned quite a bit from Farmer, from you, from Reader, from Thinker, from Pastor Don, from long time exer, and from many others. Our paths are different and yet learning is part of our reading and sharing, and we find ways to discover similar lessons to strengthen our own experiences.
For this reason I tried to share the notion that it was Yogananda who introduced Hinduism in early 20th century. I also suggested that many things happened at that time that weakened even more an already weak Christian church in the US.
By post war 50s, with a great indolent spiritual attitude in the US, Hinduism started what exploded in the 60s. The country is no more Christian now than it was then, but less.
Are these hard words? Well, one can look at the evidence just like David did to Nathan's, or react like Saul did. One can reinforce a weak church or do something else. In any case, I am sure you will agree that one should do what God directs one to do.
