Re: Slow down...
I'm afraid that you have been taken in by a new age cult. Sri Dattaswami teaches nothing but a sort of New Agey spiritualism that seeks to unite all world religions under one umbrella. The concept that "god" is the same character in all the major religions is not new, and it is also not accurate.
To say this, shows a lack of knowledge about the history of the various world religions, the myths they arose from, and the cultures they developed in. Also, his website is very poorly designed and badly written.
In any case, I hope you don't give this person any of your money.

Re: Slow down...
What is your belief about God
Well, personaly, I don't belive a god exists. I don't think there is such a thing.
I don't make an absolute claim, however. I am open to the possibility that there is a god, it's just that, so far, I have not seen any compelling evidence for any of the the god-concepts I have encountered. Is that clear?

Re: Slow down...
ok...
So no matter what we belive, it's inevitably going to be in accordance with your 'religion'? So... what's the pont of preaching? Everybody's already got it figured out.

less monologue, more dialogue
Dude,
Do you notice that we ask you like a 1 or 2 sentance question, then you reply with like an encyclopedia?
No one is gonna slog thrugh all that stuff. I patiently went thrugh one or two, but enugh already!
Try and slow down and introduce one point at a time.
Please.
Start by formulating a topic NO MORE than 3 sentances long. If you can do that, then we can progress... otherwise... well... no one will understand (or want to understand) what you are on about.
