So because you get called intolerant and bigoted you just turn it around and call someone else names? "Well, if I get called that..... he does too! If I'm wrong then he's wrong!!"

Do you get any converts with that attitude?

(It's not supposed to be about you and you getting your feelings hurt. If you are a true pastor it's about Jesus.)

this is what I like about Osho, he speaks openly of money and sex, as of two important components of our life, instead the church or other religions say you should be poor and sex is a sin, but what we see in churches, that the popes wear Prada, drive luxury cars, and all the times we hear news about homosexuality and pedophilia inside of the church, inside of Vatican itself.....

As for myself, I was always in search for what to believe in, as all the religions didn't seem enough truthful to me, especially where the church/sinagoga/buddhist monastery or any other intermediary between you and god is involved, instead the ideas of Osho I found really close to my worldview...and how about you?

Religion is created to control, make people fear and put make them feel guilty about who they are.. Osho points to a search , an inward search, religion doesnt want us to ask questions, and automatically says that its a sin to doubt god.. WE are human, we are here to experience Life.
WE have to ask questions and doubt and dig and find out who we are.
these questions and doubts take the power away from the religions who simply feed you something and tell you that you have to believe or else you are doomed..

1. Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.
2. There is no God other than life itself.
3. Truth is within you, do not search for it elsewhere.
4. Love is prayer.
5. To become a nothingness is the door to truth. Nothingness itself is the means, the goal and attainment.
6. Life is now and here.
7. Live wakefully.
8. Do not swim – float.
9. Die each moment so that you can be new each moment.
10. Do not search. That which is, is. Stop and see.
osho

what a sad and pitiful set of guidelines. I disagree with most of them completely. doing the opposite of each one of these would do some people lots of good.
