ANYTHING that requires faith is potential for charaltons and hustlers - I don't care if a new age guru makes claims without backing them up unless they start talking about studies or science....then they have crossed the line between religion /spirituality and science....then they must back up their claims if they do not or make false claims like the water molecule guy then its bad for your belief... |
Amen. I am used to posting on boards where you had better not say it is Wednesday without five citations to back it up and if one of them was Wikipedia, you would be laughed off the board. It is kind of refreshing to be here where you do not constantly have somebody saying, "Can you cite that??" all the time. But it does allow for some pretty iffy stuff to get thrown around. Though I believe in the LOA, I also get put off by obviously 'fake' science that isn't backed up.
