Comments on: Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2015/11/08/cheries-place-thought-for-the-week-334/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Fri, 17 Apr 2026 12:20:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chrysalis http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2015/11/08/cheries-place-thought-for-the-week-334/comment-page-1/#comment-43065 Chrysalis Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:10:00 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=16442#comment-43065 I should clarify that by that I mean "some people from televangelist-type protestant churches I was forced to attend as a teenager, who didn't care for the fact that I sometimes read about other philosophies and religions." And there was definitely danger <em>there </em>, Will Robinson, believe me. No one sacrificed live chickens or handled snakes or anything, but close;) (Disclaimer: Erm - not that there's anything wrong with that, I guess, if that's anyone reading's current way of worship. But I'm thinking that whole snake-handling thing doesn't work out so well in the long run :) I should clarify that by that I mean “some people from televangelist-type protestant churches I was forced to attend as a teenager, who didn’t care for the fact that I sometimes read about other philosophies and religions.”

Some people think all sorts of strange ideas. Even global warming, feminism, socialism, whathaveyou. Just let Krishna drive your chariot and get on with the job at hand.

There is more to it than that of course and it needs to be studied to glean an understanding of what it means.
