Was Sai Baba a religious loon?
April 7, 2020 at 6:37 pm
What do scholars say?
Was he in religion just for business or was he a loon who really believed that he was God and wanted to help humanity?
Quote:Tens of millions of people from 160 countries have experienced his Divinity. He has performed many supernatural miracles. His supernatural powers defy description. He has raised people from the dead. He resurrected Walter Cowan, who died from a heart attack and was pronounced dead by doctors. As a result of the resurrection Walter’s diabetic condition and diseased kidneys were also cured.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No need to choose.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Maybe he was sly like a fox and his followers were loons!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Exactly.
But I got to give one credit to Baba: that he didn't leave insane rantings behind him like, for instance, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada whose books are being sold on streets all over the world by his followers and which contain truly insane claims.
Sai Baba was a trickster who was doing cheap tricks to sway people and take their money, he didn't write/ leave books of his interviews; compared to Prabhupada who was a bullshit artist that inspired whole sorts of pseudoscientific movements which also got Charlton Heston (among others) involved into promoting it.
