I am nothing like Chris White imo, he is a christian, and attacks what he perceives to be things that attack christianity. I have no religious ties, and no bias to narrow my world view, though I have mentioned before I believe in human spirit. And as I've stated before as well, I know many of the meanings and messages in the new testament are absolutely universal truths, such as 'The kingdom of God is within you.' But there is a difference between true spirituality and the new age, and it is well documented. Spirituality has often been used throughout history to capture people's attention and then they add the bizzare to lead the people off to la la land.
Also I am pretty much in agreement with most comments in your last post, except some stuff about 'Jesus'(i have the same morals and understanding as you about what 'jesus' taught, but I don't actually believe he existed), and one other particular statement i don't agree with 'Earth has been visited by neg aliens'. Even if it was possible, that still doesn't make it so, because there is not enough evidence other than possibilty think - which is a new age technique to get people to think that way ie 'if it is possible it must be true'
BTW, check out these articles Alan posted the other day from big think tanks (Club of Budapest is the same thing as Club of Rome) about how spirituality is going to be used to get people to further the green agenda,
