Pepe le Pew said...: All this says is that there is a need for some to believe in something and that even atheists aren't immune to superstitious behavior.
SBJ as the alternative to new agey bull. Sure, why not? In the end it makes no difference.; 9/22/2008 6:53 PM
Mr roT said...: I was thinking along similar lines, actually. I don't really believe that, though. I thinkthe new age shit does nothing good for anyone but instill some stupid passivity while other superstitions are not as bad. Just an impression.; 9/22/2008 7:36 PM

Pepe le Pew said...: The new age shit hasn't caused much harm beyond embarrassing its practitioners. I wish the same could be said for the sbjers and the wackos; 9/22/2008 10:06 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Aum Shimri, that sideline of Raelianism in Switzerland, the Hobb Cometeers; for your example.
Just a cute little trifecta of New Agey goodness.; 9/22/2008 10:21 PM
Mr roT said...: What were Jim Jones' weirdoes?; 9/22/2008 11:53 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Jim Jones' is actually sort of interesting, a kind of extreme version of Applied Carterism, or Wrightism in Thought and Action, if you will. He claimed to, all at the same time, an "authentic" marxist revolutionary leader a' la Castro [hence his final refuge/slaughterhouse with the then Marxist government of Guyana], a Christian Liberation Theologist, and God Hisself.
That, plus a taste for finely aged kool aid, made History.

I don't think we can lump him in the New Agey category. Unless a Bonfire of All the Idiocies qualifies as the mark of the New Age.; 9/23/2008 8:27 PM
Mr roT said...: Pity. Would've been nice to shove Pepe with that guy.; 9/23/2008 11:09 PM
