Welllllll

Consider this.  If the Maitreya (and I've been biting my cheek over this 
one!) is the second coming of Christ (not including the many times involving 
Mary Magdelene, three apostles and several local goats) he would not be 
someone we would want to remain around.

Just think of all the bloodshed Xtianity is responsible for, then add nuclear 
warheads.

Frankly I find the idea that humanity somehow needs a divine figurehead to 
descend from the clouds, do a few magic tricks called miracles and spew holy 
nonsense in order to set the world to right an insult against the human 
spirit and an excuse to impose yet another tyranny on a world that has grown 
sick of them.

If I thought for one minute that this Maitreya fellow really existed and was 
not a creation of the fevered imagination of Benjamin Creme I would fire up 
the tepaphone and see how divine he really is.
