As I recall .. and I went back and scanned through the archives to reread over
your first few posts to make sure I was on the right track...this particular
thread started as the "magnets and other magical tricks" thread in which you
attacked someone who used magnets and sarcastically mentioned "healing by
prayer." It isn't that people don't want people with different opinions or
atheists on the list....many of us have vastly different opinions and there
are other atheists ...it's the way you attack people that is troublesome. You
can't seem to disagree with people without putting them down. In many of your
posts you have a quote like "God is dead" or some other anti-God quote. That
is not in the spirit of discussing what helps with TM; that seems to be just
in the spirit of provocation and stirring things up. That hurts people who
believe in God and is a slap in the face. We don't need face-slapping and
verbal wounding here. We can express opinions and even disagree without making
an attack of it. Most of us, however, find and use what helps us on the list
and ignore the rest without arguing and putting down others.
