A minister, a priest and a rabbi were discussing how they "divined" what part of the collection money each retained for personal needs and what part was turned in to their respective institutions.

"I draw a line," said the minister, "on the floor. All the money I toss in the air -- what lands to the right of the line I keep, to the left of the line is the Lord's."
The priest nodded, saying, "My system is essentially the same, only I use a circle. What lands inside is mine, outside is his." The rabbi smiled and said, "I do the same thing. I toss all the money into the air and whatever God grabs is his!"

So you're saying osho just steals money from the people? He's like a televangelist that just wants the money for himself?

I don't think what you are inferring is what IAM was trying to portray. I think IAM was trying to say that Osho is very funny with the "practical/commonsense avarice of Jews" joke. I think Osho has more realizing to do, and his psychological tricks (whether intentional or not) aren't going to work on those whom he only bothers. However, quick people like him likely love filling-in a vacuum which is left by the shame of humanity, the slothful followers. I have no reason to like Osho if he supported the sickening of neighbors that didn't want him and his cult followers to appropriate themselves some jurisdiction.

I confess to only reading a few quotes thus far, as Osho is new to me, but those quotes reek of common sense.

Which explains Vizio's reaction, I suppose.

We get told all the time that we're wrong to claim to have the truth. So....osho must be an intolerant bigot.

Osho will offend the religious.. just as Jesus offended them in his time,, Osho points to simplicity. , religion seeks power .. thus the reason they. fight so much with everything..
