Please do not be offended.
One question:
Do you have any actual experience of Hinduism, as I have had, or are you merely laboring under a judgemental assumption about me, as someone you are "better than", as a Christian.
I mean exactly what I already wrote in my other posts, no more and no less, despite what you might insist on reading into what I wrote--if you asked a current guru about Hatha, he'd agree that what I wrote was accurate; believe me--it's much, much more than just exercise, although you might insist that I said something worthy of ridicule. He might even tell you what "deva" really are, and how they are invoked and experienced.
Please read more carefully, before jumping to conclusons--nobody appreciates that. You are typifying me as something I am not.
I am a follower of a very real Jesus Christ, do not consider myself "religious" at all, and like to ask others to be as honest in their communications with me as possible. Berean followers were called "christians" as a perjorative mockery. I don't strictly use "christian" as a descriptor of myself, either, because of negative stere0oty[ical assumptions about the term.
I will NEVER deny Christ, and ALL that He said; though. I cannot help it that some will always take offense, for their own reasons--not my problem--no real need for apology, there.
This is supposed to be a discussion, not a practice in mostly out-pontificating one another for the benefit of an audience. I'm not trying to do that, honestly; are you?
Respectfuly,
OT2
