(October 9, 2012 at 8:22 pm)The_Germans_are_coming Wrote: "spirituel" is assosiated here with people in their midlifecrisis, like my former neighbour, who go out and buy a "power pyramid" for 3000 euros, wich is basicaly a glasspyramide underwich you are supposed to stand and "the engeryforce of the universe runs through your body and correects your energyfield". Or buy glaspebbles for 500 to 1000 euros wich creates a "energyfield" in your livingroom so you can live with "positive energy" surrounding you.
in short esoteric nonsence.
A lot of Christians would read this and say "That is not only silly it is a rip off", but magic babies, thats perfectly sane.

A lot of Muslims would say "That is silly and a rip off" but rivers of milk and wine and harems in heaven, that is quite sane.

A lot of Jews would say "That is silly and a rip off" but magially blessing food will prevent your privates from falling off.

A lot of Hindus would look at that and say "That is silly and a rip off" but an elephant god is perfectly sane.

And we are the crazy ones for rejecting all these scams?
