Re: Theos-World Re: The Secret Doctrine as religious belief.

There we go again, Brigitte. Non sequiturs and sly innuendoes. You answer 
my questions, and I'll answer yours. 

Besides, I don't remember saying anything about men or chimps. As Yoda (or 
even HPB might say, after writing about 1600 pages of impeccable and 
unassailable logic based on "fundamental principles" explaining the 
concluions of theosophical metaphysics, as well as Cosmo- and 
Anthropogenesis) -- "Unfounded assertions, reliance on questionable 
"authorities," and baseless opinions, do not an argument, make."
