I don't normally respond to negative posts, but here I go:
UE, can't you just leave it at the fact that he has his beliefs and you have yours? Are we not all in this together anyway, regardless if someone has a spiritual awakening or not? To claim that someone is:
...a very sick individual.
...is oppressive in its own right. You are suppressing their right to see the world as they choose.
Who are you to judge if someone has come to a conclusion on their own? I don't think you have any right to do so. I don't judge you for your views, yet you mock others for theirs. Such animosity for an intelligent person.
To the OP: You have had your own individual awakening, and that is great. You have to realize, however, that not all will want to listen or follow. That is okay. You do not have to defend your position; merely stay true to yourself. If others are meant to see the path that you are traveling, then they will.
There can be mutual debate on both sides, but respect is what binds us together as a whole. So, show a little bit of respect (from both sides) before engaging in such senseless banter and name calling.
Peace be with you.
