Nonsense Jim. I wasn't "compelled" to use a straw man argument I did it for fun and to highlight your hyperbole: Dracula indeed! Now that's a straw man argument if ever I saw one.You've ignored my "normal premie" sentences: "They live normal lives: maybe they meditate an hour a day and watch the weekly DVD (about 40 to 60 minutes) and go to the occasional event and contribute a small monthly amount. It's not hard. It's not even particularly unusual these days."
And please stop with the "psychological interest" comments that somehow prevent me from seeing the truth. That's called an 'ad hominem' argument as well you know and is considered as bogus as a real 'straw man' argument. It wouldn't matter if I was married to Rawat's sister I tell as I see it and most of the premies who live around me are doing OK. I'm not saying they are fantastic, not saying they prove Rawat is LOTU, I'm saying they're doing OK and as you and I are both atheists who don't believe in eternal life that's as much as I care about.
