So why the original question? Fill me in.

well, because his way of being and his teachings do not exclude any religion.
his message is so pure i could not see how anybody could fault it. i find his teachings quite amazing and think that everybody could benefit from reading the book, but it seems that most religions do exclude everything else, and i just wondered...

Well, if I ever get the time and opportunity, I'll read it and tell you what I think...

Yes, I've read it (some time ago, tho, so I can't remember anything outstanding that you might be getting at...), and I'm a Christian. I found it pretty good at the time, and as far as I remember, nothing offensive. Then again, I'm English... and we tend not to find much to be offended at in terms of religion...

Anything specific you were wondering about that might jog my memory..? I still have my copy if you want to discuss specifics.

Christianity Excluded other religions, not people in them who want to convert.
And it ecxcludes them because Jesus said that he is the only way anyone can attain salvation . kind of like posting a message on this board, Just because you post it over in yahoo , or some other board doesnt mean that it will get read here, just because you think it should.

I have not Read it, But I have read several books by other "gurus"
And I can say that just because it feels good and sounds good does not make it good. No matter how noble someoned intentiond are, If they end up giving bad information, then what good have they acomplished.
