No-one's been told they can't use "profanities". What you can't use are personal attacks.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Or medication. He can use Rik's, seeing as he's not using it.


Stim, you are a great source of inspiration to me with your continuous suggestions.  Hi
Unfortunately a disaster happen to me.
It is all my fault.  Banghead
You remember when you sort of said that the Nutter direct swearing to me did not brake any rule?
Well, well i did something very very wrong.  I'm Sorry
I had a grain of doubt (only a grain) that this was not correct.
This was the biggest mistake i ever did in my entire life.
You know what happen that night?
You appeared in my dreams.  Panic
You were in front of me with a sledgehammer ready to strike and crash my skull.
I sort of scream and said..........you my best mate........WHY?
You said........YOU DO NOT RESPECT MY AUTHORITY.
I was in a bath of cold sweat and to avoid the strike i jump out of the bed breaking
several bones in the fall.  Arrgghh
Lucky it was just a dream otherwise i would be dead now.
I promise that this doubting will never happen again.  Tiny Tiger
Please forger Little Rik.
Will you?  I'm all ears!

If you only knew what is the difference between spirituality and religion i would be quite happy to continue talking to you but considering that you haven't got a clue i think it is all a waste of my time.
Have a good day anyway.  Hi

So you're retreating from the challenge like a coward?  Well that will earn you karma points.

The difference between spirituality and religion is nothing more than an argument about semantics.  But let's cut to the chase and see how Ananda Marga fares on a scale of religion.

Wikipedia Wrote:Roderick Ninian Smart (6 May 1927 – 9 January 2001) was a Scottish writer and university educator. He was a pioneer in the field of secular religious studies. . . . Smart is widely known for his seven-part definition of religion, or rather scheme of study; as this approach avoids the problem of defining altogether. Whatever else religion may or may not be – whether theistic or non-theistic, religions possess certain recognisable elements, which can be studied. These dimensions vary in importance but are almost always present.

** Wrote:The Seven Dimensions of Religion (Ninian Smart)

Ritual: Forms and orders of ceremonies (private and/or public) (often regarded as revealed)
Ananda Marga?  Check.
Narrative and Mythic: stories (often regarded as revealed) that work on several levels. Sometimes narratives fit together into a fairly complete and systematic interpretation of the universe and human's place in it.
Ananda Marga? How the 'system works' - Check.
Experiential and emotional: dread, guilt, awe, mystery, devotion, liberation, ecstasy, inner peace, bliss (private)
Ananda Marga?  Check.
Social and Institutional: belief system is shared and attitudes practiced by a group. Often rules for identifying community membership and participation (public)
Ananda Marga?  Check.
Ethical and legal: Rules about human behavior (often regarded as revealed from supernatural realm)
Ananda Marga?  Check.
Doctrinal and philosophical: systematic formulation of religious teachings in an intellectually coherent form
Ananda Marga?  Check.
Material: ordinary objects or places that symbolize or manifest the sacred or supernatural

Ananda Marga has six of the seven dimensions.

Mine too. He thinks he's funny, from what I can gather. It seems he considers himself above the Rules, to the point that he thinks taking the piss when he's corrected on them is a victory. Sad, sad little man.

Honestly, this dude is a condescending little shit who started this thread as a duplicate of his other thread just so he could try and sweep the other thread under the carpet by declaring that he had "established" various things that he entirely failed to establish or prove. What's worse, his responses and arguments in this thread are even more obnoxious and asinine than they were in the last one. It is my opinion as a professional Wizard that this clown deserves and should expect pretty much anything that's been said to him so far, plus some more until he gets the hint and fucks off. I'm happy to remain civil until I'm looking at the rough equivalent of this:


Quote:Lololol you're so dumb u just can't se and conceeve the magical yoga power that makes consciousness reside within the toilet stains how happy Rikky is that he's not as dum as u if u think u can proov Rikky wrong you're a stupid head oh and I'm not hindu yoga is spirituality not relijun lolol ur so dum


Clap Jerkoff Demon Lalala Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead


Just my $0.02. Some people get insulted because they're worthy and inviting of insult.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

I was proven correct Stim.
As simple as that.
The mods had to intervene when the offensive language by the Nutter and few other got out of control.
If only someone did something when i click the report button two month or so ago it would not have got that far.  Lightbulb
