He’s probably just stirring things up. 

Why shouldn’t we ‘get into that’?

I actually asked "Do you (Malf)  really want to get into that "

I just wondered if someone you consider ‘The Most Enlightened’ has come to a position diametrically opposed to yours, whether that gives you pause.

Would you like it to give him pause (for thought) ? If so, why ?

I wouldn’t ‘like’ anything to happen. My question is a general one about the views of enlightened acquaintances, not specifically about Israel.

You seem a bit jumpy Tim, everything ok?

The whole point of my post was that it appears that this sort of thing doesn’t really matter in a way. Sort of like how I felt about AP over at Skeptiko, I found the amazing psychic abilities he had while really admiring George W Bush a real dilemma.

You know, Malf I could have sworn it was specifically about Israel. Oh well, I must have got that wrong then......[Image: confused.png]

Why make it a worry though, Stan ?

I guess it’s the same way you seem to worry about Linda. Horses for courses.

Thinking about what makes people ‘spiritual’. What’s really important in life. What makes my friend unusual? Is it just because I see him as being very different to ‘normal’ friends that I think of him differently? And so on.

That sort of thing.

Today I was thinking about spirituality. Some of the people I consider most interesting are a possibly diametrically opposed mix of the spiritual and the physical, to the extent that they may be considered flawed, or fraud or mad or bad. It seems to me that we shouldn't get too hung up over the idea of spirituality, it's so hard to even pin down that it may not even be noticed when it manifests.
