For what it's worth, I don't think he's mentally ill. Just gullible and deluded. This stuff he's regurgitating is just the warmed over crap he's picked up from decades in the Ananda Marga cult. It's just a modern blend of age old Hindu themes, with a heavy dose of apologetics on the side. He's just a crank, endlessly trying to justify himself. In this case, namely by attacking what others believe, all the while spewing his own religious bullshit. It's pretty standard fare.
For example:
"I was talking to an atheist while making this example......THE I IS LIKE A DRIVER OF A CAR AND THE CAR IS THE BODY-MIND SO WHEN THE CAR DIE THE DRIVER CAN GET OUT AND GET A NEW CAR IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE JOURNEY TO HUMAN EMANCIPATION.
This atheist said that my analogy does not make any sense. "

.......attacking what others believe........?
I don't really think you guys know what you are talking about.
Take that guy that say.......Go Blow Jesus Out Your Ass...........
This guy has a 229 in reputation which means that most of you folks agree with what he spew
in the forum.
This chap attack other beliefs.
He just doesn't care.
Suppose he engage in talking with a fundamentalist Christian in America and say that thing to him.
In America there are a lot of people that go around with guns and this fundamental Christian happen to carry a gun.
Our "friend" didn't know and find the gun pointed to his head.
Do you think that his excuse in saying that it was a fictional thing will work?
I would think twice if I am in you before you kudos someone who is engaged in serious attacking.
And I would try to understand better about the difference between a real attack and attacking unproven beliefs like .....the consciousness is a product of the brain....or we are what we are thanks to the evolution of the specie.
That's nice. This is totally irrelevant, but whatever floats your boat. You want to know the difference between you and Minimalist? He actually supplies evidence for his skeptical positions. You don't provide anything but anecdotes, analogies, and assertions. Your entire evidence is your debatable interpretation of the meaning of NDEs. That's total weaksauce. And even there, your interpretation has been shown to have holes in it. But by all means, show that my claim that you make your hay by attacking others is wrong by attacking my character and integrity. That'll show them!
