..a passage from the book [Freedom Of Choice] (perhaps irrelevant)
Avoiding Mistakes
Can we avoid making mistakes? Let me answer you with a
question:
Can a child learn to walk without ever experiencing falling
down?
Making mistakes is essential to the process of learning. We
cannot totally avoid mistakes – because by doing so we would
eliminate the very mechanism of learning.
However repeating identified mistakes can and should be
avoided. Also, we can use our intelligence to observe and
learn from the mistakes of others.
How do we know what constitutes a mistake? In essence, any
action that disregards The Purpose of the Universe is a
mistake.
In practice, experiencing suffering and misery of either the
Self or others should alert us to analyze WHAT exactly is
OUR mistake.
It is very important to recognize the “cause and effect”
relationship between our actions and their consequences.
There is also a possibility that our actions may cause OTHER
people to make THEIR mistakes.
Consider the following example. Many people today cultivate
so-called “victim mentality” – they blame others for their very
OWN ill feelings and limitations.

...a passage from the book [Freedom Of Choice]
Worship and Fear
Would you like your children to worship you? [17]
Would you like your children to worship your pictures, your
statues, building altars for you, rather than recognizing who
you really are and appreciating what you are doing?
Would such a worship satisfy you? WHY NOT?
Please think very carefully WHY such an activity appears to
be a pure nonsense. Try to find a logical REASON for it to
appear as nonsense. Examine your feelings.
How would you FEEL if your children decided to worship
your statues and praying to your pictures? Would you feel
satisfied? Why not? Would your intellect and intelligence be
satisfied?
Wouldn’t you feel deeply disappointed that your children
cannot come up with anything more intelligent?
Worshipping is clearly disappointing, unpleasant and even
annoying for anyone intelligent enough to comprehend all
associated feelings. And that of course includes The Great
Intellect.
We have to conclude, that
Worshipping anyone or anything doesn’t make any sense
whatsoever. Worship of any kind is the evidence of a complete
ignorance.

EBB, you seem to be treating this book like the holy gospel or something. I have downloaded it, and I'm going to read at some stage when I have time, but don't you think you're pushing it just a little too hard?
Nuxta it is good debating with you because it never comes down to cheap shots or personal attacks. Which this thread has seen many of from different posters.
