I think the whole phenomenon of people trying to save others here from delusional or dangerous beliefs is very interesting.
A bunch of people are here on a forum called "Intention-Manifestation" exploring how this perspective is working, how they can they be more effective, how good it feels, the wins they are having, encouraging each other. The some other people come on and say, basically, "you guys are nuts, you're deluded or scamming or gullible, let's face it: you are wrong!"
If we had a thread about the Church of the Pink Unicorn, would you be drawn to debunking it? I'm thinking you might post once or twice with ridicule or scorn, but for the most part, you wouldn't even be drawn to it -- your eyes would scan and skim, probably. Kind of like what I do with astral travel -- I don't really believe our souls leave our physical body and travel around, but if others want to experiment with it and talk about it, it's no skin off my nose so I just leave them to it.
For awhile there, I was drawn to debunking what I see as a delusional belief -- in a personal, interventionist god -- so I can sort of understand. For me, belief in a p.i.g. has led to actual and practical interference and/or oppression, so I have felt strongly about speaking my mind about it. It's harder for me to see how I.M. or the Law of Attraction might be "dangerous," though -- maybe you feel like people are in danger of losing their money to people who profit from it? Or that they are in danger of wasting their time or energy when they *should* be taking action in an objective reality?
That whole phenomenon happened some time ago with the PATHS threads -- people got really, really upset about it -- some folks even went so far as to report the PATHS people to the IRS & FBI! (I haven't seen any further word from them, so I don't know what happened there, but PATHS is still in business, and I still love it.)
But why? I don't believe it's as simple as trying to keep people from being separated from their money. Something draws you (me) to protest about other people's non-interventionist, non-oppressive beliefs -- to protest loud and long, to heartily and thoroughly tell people they are full of crap. What is that all about? Again, if it were the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you probably wouldn't even care -- and they actually ARE making money!
I wonder if it's like most other button-pushing issues: the reason you it bugs you is that there is a part of you that believes it may be true.
(....and then of course there is the question: why am I drawn to keep asking this question?
)
