After Leaving A Cult. Or ?Moving On?
2008-07-02 01:47:00 It is a very great untruth put out by Sathya Sai Baba’s key leaders and by his proxy supporters on the Internet that former devotees are now something other than what they, for many decades, were - decent, compassionate, hardworking members of their professions and trades in their wider communities. See Sathya Sai Baba ...
Sathya Sai Baba World Cult At Odds With Itself

A Strong India Can Bless The World
2008-06-20 20:07:00 In my years in India, I saw at close hand the work of one talented and highly motivated Indian group with which I did volunteer social work, attaining that deep wish fired ever since I was 16, when I became deeply inspired by the life of Mahatma Gandhi.

Interfaith Prayer
2008-06-01 05:19:00 There is a life I know that does not have its life in the particulars of my existence.God is always with us, but we are not always with God.Some use the word God; others do not. Either way, there is One word that has articulated each and all of us into being.Hopefully more of us will learn to spend more of our time with the One in whom we live and move and have our being. It gives perspective. It gives our species a better chance at long-term survival.Thanks to those of you who have been reading and/or commenting in recent weeks even as I?ve had to visit the blogs of others less often lately. My medical situation has worsened; we?re still trying to have Original Faith available by July 1st. My very limited blogging time has been mostly spent visiting a few new blogs each week that look related to this one so that more people will be aware of the book, which was a long labor of love and the best I have to offer.Thanks again ?Paul

Religion, Spirituality, God, Faith, Interfaith ? & Wikipedia
2008-04-09 05:31:00 Forgive Me, but I Don?t Feel Like Thinking TodayAnd so I just wanted to mention that if anyone hasn?t noticed by now that the words ?religion,? ?spirituality,? ?God,? ?faith? and ?interfaith? are crammed into as many post titles as I can manage, it?s because I don?t know what I?m doing, but somebody else does. That is, my webmeister tells me she?s optimized my whatever for these words ? my search engines? Browser? Cache? Cachet? Tricorder? Anyway, I?m told that for technical reasons, it?s a good idea for me to use those words in blog post titles, and so I do.Like most semi-bedridden guys trying to launch a book, I want to do what I can to help people who might be interested in my topic locate this site. But those particular words for titles are becoming so much mental mush. Some days I have to wonder if I can come up with another bunch. I feel out to lunch - or sometimes, in my darkest hours, like I?m alone on the decks of the Titlanic.Normally, I like doing titles; but who likes th...

Sathya Sai Baba Cult. Blind Eye To Massive Slander

To shield peers in many countries from slanderous attacks by Sai Baba followers and their Internet proxies, these individuals are prepared to face the considerable and extremely distorted pro Sai Baba propaganda.

Indonesia?s interfaith exchanges: By Arian Fariborz
2008-03-06 00:34:00 The Catholic cathedral in Jakarta is just across the road from the city`s largest Muslim place of worship, the Istiqal mosque. The church is often full, with hundreds of Christians gathered in its inner courtyard for prayer. But only a few weeks ago, the scene was not quite so peaceful. During the Christmas period, the cathedral, like many other churches throughout the country, had to be protected by a large police presence as a result of fears of possible attacks by radical political Islamic groups. The fear is not unjustified. Over the last three years, according to the leadership of the Protestant and Catholic churches in the country, at least 108 church and community buildings have been looted, burnt down or been subjected to threats, especially in West Java. Gomar Gultom is a pastor and an executive of the Protestant Church in Indonesia. He believes that there are many reasons for the increase in this violence. "Some of the Muslims see the presence of Christians or churches in ...

Interfaith Event Finds Common Ground Through Noah
2007-11-15 03:22:00 Here is an interesting news story about a recent interfaith event that drew Muslims, Christians and Jews together through the story of Noah’s Ark. Globalism is erasing national boundaries and has created worldwide tension as the various religions and cultures of the world are increasingly thrown together. Out of this global culture, a call for a common spirituality is emerging. This is a spirituality that supposedly everyone can participate in if the citizens of the world are willing to set down the idea of absolute truth. Post-modernism sets the world up for this belief that everyone has their own truth—that there is no one single Savior of the world. Neale Donald Walsch, New Age author and prophet of New Spirituality, announces to the world that the “era of the single savior is over.†That is the spirit of anti-Christ that is growing in the world today. It all sounds so harmless, even good. But in reality, Christians must abandon the Lordship of Jesus Christ to participate...

Sai Baba To Be Seen In Moon? But Where Was Moon?
2007-10-26 06:28:00 Today’s blog suggests that Sai Baba has, leave aside his recent would-be moon sightings, not been particularly bright himself.

He has not selected the brightest moon, nor a cloudless ...

Interfaith Dialog Runs Afoul of Dark Ages Misogyny
2007-05-07 09:39:00 via Little Green FootbalsThe Associated Press files this story of Dark Ages misogyny in Sweden under ?Odd News:? Soccer game for priests, imams canceled. STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A soccer game between Muslim imams and Christian priests at the end of a conference to promote interfaith dialogue was canceled Saturday because the teams could not agree on whether women priests should take part. Church of Norway spokesman Olav Fykse Tveit said the imams refused to play against a mixed-gender team of priests because it would have gone against their beliefs in avoiding close physical contact with strange women. The church decided to drop its female players and the priests? team captain walked out in protest. Hours before the game was to end the daylong ?Shoulder to Shoulder? conference in Oslo, the church released a statement saying it had called off the match because it was sending the wrong signal.
