I think you can use whatever common sense you have (and the points made in this article) to judge whether an organization, group or individual fails this test. I am also unwilling to discuss this offline, either. It's just not the point that I am trying to make.<br /><br />More will be explained in the next installment of this article (part 3).<br /><br />FBFrater.Barrabbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689013897789072360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-34978543949872957772012-02-15T20:12:15.929-06:002012-02-15T20:12:15.929-06:00You mention Heaven's Gate, summoning Goetic de...You mention Heaven's Gate, summoning Goetic demons and, generally, the New Ageism that we can create our own reality--but, somehow I'm left wondering exactly how you would classify the term New Age? In my own definition, the first 2 don't qualify, and I've heard other folks lump anything beyond major world religions including any type of magickal work as "New Age." I get where you're coming from with critical thinking, but I wonder if you could give a few more examples of New Age-type groups/concepts and how they exemplify your Cargo Cult premise. But if you're not comfortable getting too specific here on the blog, can I email you?Rev Wes Isleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046348046273693706noreply@blogger.com
