<p>Grow strong in your self and your power, don't give it away to a donkey like gurinder singh dhillon, aka a self proclaimed god by a contract. The Omichron variant isn't the fastest growing as it is indeed the RSSB "garbage" variant that's infecting the sheepish minds of the world like a wild fire. The only vaccine that works is a simple google search on the truth behind GSD. Ask a simple question like how has GSD has managed to become a billionaire baba, over his watch as spiritual fake leader of RSSB given he was only a sales man in Spain. Question the suspicious circumstances to the death of his wife; how he robbed a record producer; favours with modi; ties with the badals, and manjeetia, land mafia tendencies and his womanizing... I can go on and on. RSSB is a total distraction, and Gurinder singh dhillon is a liar, and a hypocrite, and his days are numbered.</p>Spence Tepper commented on 'What the Woke Racism book says about religion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e202942f8c7fd7200c2021-12-10T12:25:06Z2021-12-11T04:23:12ZSpence Tepper"To make sense of it, we must understand them -- partly out of compassion and partly in order to keep...<p>"To make sense of it, we must understand them -- partly out of compassion and partly in order to keep them from destroying our own lives.

<p>This attitude is doomed for failure.</p>
<p>It is ourselves we need to understand, and lacking that we are doomed to see the" other" as irredeemable, irrevocably inferior, the source of all our problems, and the engineered scapegoat for all our angers.</p>
<p>The approach is flawed. </p>Ron E. commented on 'What the Woke Racism book says about religion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20278805ebb73200d2021-12-10T09:43:10Z2021-12-11T04:23:12ZRon E.@"Not definitive, but an important test IMO is a mystic who says truth is found within and nowhere outside."

I think even mystics have to be looked on with caution, Many have been found wanting. Just like many cult leaders, some mystics are not above being delusional or charlatans and as such they also act like 'bearers of truth'.</p>
<p>It is a regular minefield in such spiritual circles to sort the dross from the gold, and I'm sure the gold is there - but probably not in the way we imagine.</p>Manoj commented on 'What the Woke Racism book says about religion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20282e136cc10200b2021-12-08T22:15:52Z2021-12-09T05:05:08ZManojReligion....

<p>Can be found tremendously within Radha Soami Cult and its self proclaimed man made Cult leader Gurinder Singh Dhillion even if its not as they say a religion LOL </p>
<p>Radha soami Cult is more asleep than awoke by any means take Gurinder Singh Dhillions malicious actions in his everyday day life. Truly a red flag zone</p>
<p>Can they truly set any example in an God set example in anyway whatsoever. </p>
<p>Makes one and should make one question his religious ethics as every Satsangi should. <br />
Not blindly follow the blind man Gurinder Singh Dhillion. <br />
Who hasn't a clue how to hold any morals values let alone fulfill them. </p>
<p>A Religion like this Radha Soami Cult teaches us why we should never go or listen to these carefully weaved worded so called Satsangs as they hold the valuable meaning of nothings of so called reality. </p>
<p>Its a cult deliberately created to deceive the masses. </p>
<p>No standards No morals No reality, No real substance but just good old baloney from yours truly Gurinder Singh Dhillion </p>
<p>Skip the religious crap, seek your truth <br />

<p>We're halfway agreed! But, mystics, unlike religious zealots or<br />
Trumpists , don't insist on blind belief or circumscribe, er, very<br />
cultishly, the ambit of "demonstrable evidence". No hidden<br />
oracles or horned shamans to seek for guidance. Neither bribes<br />
nor kissing rings bestow any agency. Only a path of devotion<br />
and mindfulness within peel away the Big Lies we tell ourselves.</p>Brian Hines commented on 'What the Woke Racism book says about religion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20278805e4367200d2021-12-08T18:51:12Z2021-12-08T18:51:15ZBrian Hineshttps://profile.typepad.com/brihinesManjit, we atheists differ from religious "Elect" because we speak the truth.

It is simply being truthful. </p>
<p>There's no demonstrable evidence for God. Atheists simply point that out. </p>
<p>It's the same thing as reality-based political commentators pointing out that the 2020 election wasn't stolen from Trump, since Biden won a free and fair election. </p>
<p>Sometimes speaking the truth means pointing out a falsehood.

The lack of recognition of one's own hypocrisy and double standards is priceless and utterly sublime!</p>
<p>Human nature and the human propensity to thoroughly delude oneself is absolutely incredible. </p>Ron E. commented on 'What the Woke Racism book says about religion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e202942f8bee89200c2021-12-08T13:34:34Z2021-12-08T18:44:59ZRon E.Yes, I'm not surprised that anything 'woke-ish' can be regarded as a religion.

There are many causes that reflect this label from seemingly innocent identification with issues such as vaccination, climate change, evolution, cultural, and national interests etc. They do act very much like religious believers and exhibit a degree of intolerance and discrimination toward others who hold a different view. Discussing various views can be productive and useful – which incidentally is ideally how science advances its hypothesis <br />
<br />
Lately, I've watched various news items with a mixture of incredibility and amazement how the human race seems to be so taken in by certain groups and individuals that promote what are often in effect, extreme conspiracy agendas. Why do people do this? Is it connected with fear, the expression of anxiety, to find meaning or perhaps the human need to make the other wrong and me right? </p>
<p>Whatever, as witnessed with the inflammatory utterances of some world leaders, people seem to need a cause (or someone) to believe in and promote. If there were no religions to identify with, I'm sure many a cause or organization would soon fill the void. </p>
