Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00717)

Carlos,

Lets face it - you are a fundamentalist. You have found your Gods 
and you can't stand anybody referring to them in a casual way (ie 
with deference, if not reverence). You want to root out the 'Heresy' 
in your 'Church' where you see that it has gained some ground.

The reason you tolerate Paul Johnson is because few theosophists 
believe him (No offence, Paul) and he does treat them with 
deference. 

You don't think Truth is your private property, since it already 
belongs to your Church. In one of your previous incarnations, you 
were possibly an Inquisitor (well meaning, of course) making sure 
the members did not stray too far from the path. However, your 
orthodoxy seems a little more Islamic than Western, you are quite 
ready to throw stones at the Devil's idolatory.

There is nothing wrong with jokes about the Masters when the intent 
is not to ridicule or show disrespect (I don't think this joke does 
that, though it may be a bit out of place in this forum). However, 
when you talk about other people's beliefs in your daily diatribes, 
that is precisely your intent.

Regards,

Dave
