"We don't mind anyone asking polite questions concerning our beliefs. But you never questioned our beliefs you just came in here & told us how stupid we were for having those beliefs."
pot and kettle Trademanic. It was the "A Course in Miracles" thread where you and I fell out. Let's have a little review of that shall we??

Golf Zoner started the thread and said how amazing he thinks the book is. I agree that it fascinating but trademanic your first post in that thread started with the comment :
"The following sums up this pile of rubbish perfectly."
You then posted an anti-ACIM article. Fair enough that you don't like the book and even that you posted the article. You are entitled to express your opinion but why start by getting people off side with your opening prickly comment.....
Then in your next post your go on to say :
"
The book would appeal to those that have a void that needs to be filled as they would be people in want of heart. So any old rubbish would be the accommodating factor.
Sad really that the deranged rantings of someone are recorded only to make a book only to snare some of the less intelligent population. Normally someone on LSD would be imprisoned not have their rubbish turned into a sci fi novel. Wasn't Charles Manson on LSD and didn't he start killing people. This is dangerous stuff for the weak minded and the weak minded seem to be the ones attracted to it. IMO."
Of course your remarks drew a response. You can't seem to see that you did anything wrong with these undiplomatic comments and then you think YOU are the one being attacked when it was your belittling comments that subsequently drew a response.....
but your last post in this current thread really takes the cake when you say :
"We don't mind anyone asking polite questions concerning our beliefs.
But you never questioned our beliefs you just came in here & told us how stupid we were for having those beliefs."
UN-freaking-believable Trademanic, You think it is ok to call one man's sacred text rubbish and to say that such a book only appeals to the unintelligent and the you turn around and chip someone because they told you that you were stupid for having your beliefs.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander....or....to use an expression that you might understand as a bible scholar "Why are you concerned with the speck in your brother's eye when their is a plank in your own"
I hope you can see the discrepancy here and can be man enough to apologize. It was your attitude on the ACIM thread that originally got my hackles up and as far as I am concerned that is the reason you and I have become sparring partners.
