I just finished reading this whole thread (about 2 years too late).
I found it interesting due to the fact that I have been affiliated with the Hare Krishna's for several years, but now have started to question many of the philosophy's fundamental tenets.
For years I have despised, even hated atheists, a consequence of listening to lectures and discussions by religious figures.
But I must admit now that atheists are not the evil, hateful demons that I thought them to be
I now respect their drive for rational thought and behavior, it is refreshing, to say the least.
Anyways, this is my introduction to the forums, sorry if resurrecting this thread was inappropriate.
I wonder what happened to the OP (Akincana Krishna dasa) ?
