David,

Speaking for myself and maybe other posters feel this way too, is the dogmatic way in which you force your views on subjects that are not based on facts but personal beliefs. To merely say, for example that your adepts told you so, is not going to cut the mustard, I'm afraid.

It's fine to have a strong point of view but it's not fine to push a point of view forcefully if you can't back it up with proof or facts. People will just turn off and not listen to you!

I'm not saying I disagree with your above post or agreeing with it for that matter but if you were to say that it was your personal opinion, instead of speaking like God and with the authority of a god, perhaps you may find your reply posts less hostile?

This is meant as constructive criticism and maybe I sometimes fall short in this regard, none of us are perfect but I do hope that when I express something I can't prove, I at least state that the claim, in question, is my faith or my opinion!

Your post above sounds like the things you wrote about are already established fact and are already a given but they are not!
