adds to the delirium. All the same, they are by and large extremely honest, decent and sincere folks of learning especially in Sanskrit, and ardent seekers with ahimsa (non-violence) almost encoded into their genome.

Still as the Prophet Isaiah (Is. chapter 17 vs 9) around 800 BC spoke: " The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.." People can trust every human fancy, but not the AUTHORITY of the OT & NT Scriptures!!

Actually, the Scriptures have no "AUTHORITY" as history. They are examplars of ancient belief, nothing more. They were certainly NOT written by credentialed historians and therefore CANNOT rationally be taken as "history" as we know it.
