What I do think is that the Christianity in the time of Jesus Christ and just after his immediate departure was certainly far more idealistic and pure in the spiritual ideas than perhaps the nowadays institutional Church is about. The comparison was to be in between the Christian movement "old" some 30 years and the modern Christianity 2000 years old. In those days, the practitioners of (then) revolutionary spiritual movement were risking to be supplied as the food for the hungry lions in the Roman's arenas for their expressing out the religious beliefs... That says something. The comparison was to make the point how time may influence any spiritual movement into the direction of institutionalizing (and thus watering down) the pure spiritual ideas and motives. Something that I do belive ISKCON is not really sterilized from by de fault. And something that I have personally both witnessed and experienced in my life. There was absolutely no attempt to compare Christianity (of any time) with ISKCON (of any time) in terms of any *superiority* (or who nailed whose founder-acarya on the cross and who did not). That is what you apparently may be dwelling on within your own mind after an apparent assumption that the superiority of ISKCON over other religious movements has been under the attack. Why do I have to be bothered about what's there up in your own mind? > Your text was a selective history from a particular angle.

I do not remember that with that text I was professing myself as a compiler of all-inclusive ISCKON history, a representation of ISKCON current state in whole, and the accurate description of ISKCON future... So, you got it right. Yes, take the due credit here. ----------- The rest is simply an another dragging personal... So you can judge me, my electromagnetic poles, my locomotive functional stages and the processing central unit as you wish... I got used on that already. - mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
