Why do you consider any perspective which is non-Catholic to neccesarily be anti-Catholic? Your presumption is not only the height of ignorance, it is also the height of pompousity. Why assume that anyone is anti-Catholic? Why assume that non-Catholics give any consideration to Catholics at all? I don't. Why would you ever presume that I would?

@JeffersonDinedAlone Friend, tell me, honestly, that you don't think the remark that I'm referring to in the Irish newspaper is anti-Catholic. I don't for a minute think that every non-Catholic statement is anti-Catholic, but it is naive in the extreme for you to assume that there aren't real anti-Catholics out there.

@wordonfirevideo I never addressed the consideration of anti-Catholics. That is another consideration entirely, and has nothing, whatsoever, to do with what I did address.

@ANDROID697 "God is subjective to his devotees."

--What does this mean? Do you mean God has a relationship with his devotess? Then I agree. Anything else is nonsense.

"God is both one and different with everything"

--I agree. This just means God does not have parts, and is distinct from everything. Both are true. There is nothing particularly "vedic" about this view. It is found all over Thomas Aquinas and numerous other Christian Theologians.

@ANDROID697 "Just because you cannot overcome the contradiction doesn't make you statement true."

--Huh? "Overcoming contradictions" just means you avoid them. They are necessarily false. End of story.

[grunderlyme]

@ANDROID697 "No you deny Gods power"

--No, YOU do, because you're subtracting the perfect property of "Reason" from God's nature which makes God radically unstable and irrational. But instability and irrationality are not powers, but limitations, dummy. Oops.

[ANDROID697]

@grunderlyme No you deny Gods power. Just because you cannot overcome the contradiction doesn't make you statement true. God is subjective to his devotees. As is consciousness. God is both one and different with everything. Thats the Vedic view. It's truth. That's enlightenment 101. Don't try and fit God into a tiny mind that's never witnessed Him. That is foolishness. He can be two places at once. He can be on every planet at once. Thats His inconceivible pontency. That's God.
