There's a difference between being aware of a truth and taking the appropriate stance on it as a Christian, and actively attempting vilify others because of knowledge of that truth. The others are right, that makes you a hypocrite, and inciteful.

At least these Islamist extremists aren't hypocritical, unlike you. You've proven that for them. They, unlike you, practice what they believe and are taught.

It looks like Boazy was in good company at Frootloop Fest.

<< He wanted to vid the experience, but I preferred to just do it by audio. >>

Given Boazy's fanatical promotion of YouTube as a means to share ideas, does this strike anybody else as just a tad hypocritical? Why didn't you want to promote your faith on video, Boazy?

Oh I get it - video's only good for spreading hatred.

"Opposite our stall was some mob called 'Supreme Master Television'."

A perfect case of like meeting like by the sounds of it. Perhaps your feelings on encountering this group BD will give you an insight into how most of the rest of us regard your fanatical ramblings.

"NEW AGEism.....and those capitalizing from it."

Aah, the good Christian, having just finished preaching to the rest of us about 'loving your enemies', takes aim at yet another hapless ISM and has another group of well-meaning people lined up in his sights.

"The 'shop front' is all about vegetarianism and 'save the planet' and animal rights, but.. when lurking in the shadows is 'Gods direct Contact'......"

Yes, 'God' turns up in the strangest places. You don't have a monoploy on him (or her) you know BD. At least with this mob you get something worthwhile in amongst the godspeak.

"In the past, she stated that she earned more than former U.S. President Bill Clinton's annual salary of $200,000,[39] which is incongruous with a monastic lifestyle requiring that clergy do not engage in profit or commercial activity."

Perhaps she learnt from those yankee evangelicals on television, and all those other Christians building their personal empires, and somehow managing to turn a deaf ear to the bible's warning about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Another biblical message comes to mind which seems very apt at the moment, something about taking the plank out of your own eye before worrying about the mote in someone else's. I think you need to revisit that one BD.

After having read Boazy's first post I am sitting here wondering why he wasn't beaten into a bloody pulp by these Muslims.

But, as he had managed to start another discussion thread, I can only conclude that:

1. The Muslims aren't literally following the Quran's text

2. We only have Boazy's version (interpretation) of events

Maybe, just maybe, the Muslims don't take the Quran, the word of Allah, anywhere as LITERALLY as Boazy does when he cherry pick's Quran. I guess we should be grateful that Boaz is not a Muslim.

So much for the "Interfaith" celebration, when the first thing Boazy does is interrogate a couple of hapless Muslims.

As a result we have yet another discussion thread devoted to vilifying Islam. Yawn

I think the thing that concerns me the most is that people like David enjoy this sort of thing. It seems to get them off in some way.

Let's re-examine the evidence, Boaz.

You are at a "MindBodySpirit" event.

You approach some people that you have never met, and ask them a couple of questions that you have regurgitated here several hundred times.

These people quite amazingly say exactly what you hoped they would say.

Now, I would obviously not call you a liar, or suggest that you might be leaving out other key exchanges that occurred that might have put a different slant on events, or accuse you of stretching the truth in any way.

But I have to take into account the possibility that they might have been having a lend of you, given that you clearly wore your "I'm a Christian Evangelist" badge prominently displayed.

I certainly would have, I can assure you.

Another possibility is that you met two of the four people in Melbourne who thought the way these two did.

Given your graphic description of some of the other worthy citizens at the event, that would hardly be surprising.

Anyway, I'm glad you had such a good time, mixing with like-minded people.

That is, of course, people who have a single-track obsession with what they believe.

To me, as you well know, your particular obsession is not fundamentally different to that of Supreme Master Television.
