QUOTE arcora;

Look at it from the other side for a moment.

There are a lot of members who don't buy into the complete new age hulabaloo here. What gives you Spiritual or Intellectual superiority over them when they question your beliefs?

One pitfall of EVERY belief system is a sense of "I have the Truth. Don't question me. Just believe me."[/QUOTE]

Questioning is one thing, insulting is another.
No one prefers to be insulted.
Thing is, I didn't get that Conjured is aiming for "superiority", or hierarchy.
She stated that she knows she is where she is supposed to be, not where you are supposed to be, or where everyone should be.

And the pitfall you mentioned? Isn't the result of a belief structure, it is the result of a programmed attitude about a belief.
And I agree, it is unbecoming.

Peace,
CW
