Why? There are hundreds of millions interested in stuff that is far 
older than that.

I was brought up Jewish. I was being continually told by Christians 
that my religion was obsolete, that it had been replaced by the worship 
of some failed Messiah. As a matter of fact, Alice Bailey believed the 
same thing, and that the Jews deserved to be persecuted because they 
refused to engage in the worship of this man. So forgive me if I react 
negatively to someone telling me that my Theosophy is obsolete, that it 
has been replaced by the teachings of a bigot who couldn't even accept 
the fact that matter and energy were two aspects of the same thing.

Seeing that I'm the only one around here from New York City, I am 
taking that as a personal insult until you explain otherwise.
