Interview with Karen Armstrong

[CharmingLordSausage]

I too want only global harmony. If only peiople accepted me as their supreme leader, such things would be possible.

[marasand5555]

Sounds nice ...but not real. More wishful thinking than anything. Yeah ! We all want peace on Earth ...but under OUR terms

[TREW24]

be careful, this woman is a protagonist of the coming ONE WORLD RELIGION. what she says on the surface makes sense but look deeper and you'll see that she is in line with the prophecy of alice a. bailey. a thosophist and satanist. ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT & ONE WORLD RELIGION. she is a false prophet. she is finding common ground to bring in this One world religion. if you think this is a good thing then i suspect you are reacting to what i say rather than educating yourself on it first. google it.

This video is not the best introduction to Karen Armstrong, an inspiring, courageous woman, and her world view. However, to anyone with an open mind and the curiosity and desire to learn , it does, at least provide a point from which to proceed and explore further.

[dropkickglobalism]

She is so off. She takes a little bit of truth and then just decorates a giant lie with it, all while never stopping to give any evidence to support her arguments. It as if al the religions have liner notes and she just picked through those and considered herself an expert. She is an intolerant fascist that preaches under the guise of compassion. I am just astounded that people are supporting her hateful doctrine without ever questioning it.

[JEFFMAZAUSKAS]

Hm-mm. Between your moniker and your outburst, you effectively make Karen's point for her: Intolerance/lack of compassion does seem to be the easier path for many of us to take. It requires work, everyday to not think and act divisively. Did you, by any chance, notice there was no name-calling in her discussion -- or, were you too busy labeling her a fascist (without giving evidence to support your position)?

I wish you well, DROPKICKGLOBALISM. May you walk in Beauty....

[dropkickglobalism]

First off turbo, I did give evidence. I am saying her argument is flawed. Re read what I wrote and figure it out. Her ideology is just as dangerous as an extremists', which I also do not endorse. I am all for people being tolerant of other cultures and religions, but not to the point that I have to give up or water down some of my beliefs or opinions. I would rather agree to disagree than have the both of us be forced into living an ideology. Her message is just a shiny surface.

[dropkickglobalism]

And who are you, my mother? My "outburst" is, at least to my knowledge, an exercise in speaking my opinion that I still posses the option of. Take a look at 1:26. Is that her example of tolerance by generalizing my beliefs as ill compassionate and selfish!? I don't have to subscribe to the beliefs of everyone else to be tolerant. She is the one attempting to drill her platform down my throat by telling me that if I don't subscribe to her train of thought, I am part of the problem.

[JEFFMAZAUSKAS]

I repeat, by using provocative, language, declaring that you have a right to express your opinion, to disagree - while pillorying both Karen and me for expressing views divergent from yours - you effectively make Karen's argument for her. As to the question of who gave birth to you, darned if I know - don't you?

[JEFFMAZAUSKAS]

Dropkick. in response to your 2-frame outburst, this is the end for the exchange for me. I wish you well, but, I make it a point not to get involved in "discussions" with people who: 1) make intemperate comments/remarks; 2) cavalierly toss about labels and 3) use the concepts of supposition, opine and evidence , interchangeably.

[dropkickglobalism]

Okay good. Then we agree to disagree. Who gave birth to me? What? The dialogue was obviously over anyway. You can feel how you want and so can I, that is the point, so fanciful language won't make either of us right. You're 2 steps above the next guy that focuses on spelling errors. I believe she is wrong. Period. You can have her. Provocative language, indeed.

[JEFFMAZAUSKAS]

Dropkick, you've come a long way: only one ad hominem remark (I thank you for the 2 steps, though) & NO name-calling! Great! My wish for you is that you continue to state your case in ways that respect those who don't concur; I know more people will WANT to hear what you have to say. Be well

[dropkickglobalism]

Save it. Seriously. I don't care, and I am not here for you. I don't subscribe to her garbage. I have been following her for sometime, and her is the result of her tolerant seat, speaking at the UN. watch?v=eVrhxDuCZBk

People will disagree, you can't control that, and if you try, this is what you get.

[JEFFMAZAUSKAS]

Of course you're not "here for me." This was, at best, an exchange. And as to your caring, of course it is YOUR decision, as to what you choose to care about; I would not try to nor think myself capable of altering anyone's strongly-held opinions. But, I would HOPE they could make room to listen and RESPECT others; that's all. Too bad I was mistaken about you: It seems those not in line with you, and their views, MUST be labeled nagatively. That's unfortunate but I still wish you well.

Nice video, except for the flock of clucking chickens (Women Chatting) in the backround. lol.
