What do you think of Oprah, Ekhart Tolle, Gary Zukav... a farce in your eyes?

[smiley]

I do not believe they feel they are acting as "false idols" but those who will the love of God into the world.

I'm really lost on all of this.

I admire the above and their teachings...find, peace, love and contentment in them as well.

Damnation really gets me "hung up."

I like Oprah, I find her "likeable," and I think I would enjoy hanging out with her. I don't get into new age spirituality, however, because I think it ignores the elephant in the room -- namely, the darkness that lies within all of us. You cannot focus entirely on the sunshine and bunny rabbits and live a fulfilled life. You have to confront the ugliness and deal with it.

It's just, nicey new age thought, i am not given to it really, but if it is any consolation, I would trust Oprah more than any of those slimebags on bible TV, at least she isn't trying to lighten my wallet

I think if the basic message is honesty, compassion, humility, and charity, then the messenger can't be evil.

What do the Christians say? You will know the tree by the fruit?

Oprah is a "nice lady" I guess.....

But even she would tell you
She is NOT Jesus Christ!

Eckhart Tolle is an enlightened human being.

I don't watch Oprah, Tolle's teachings are not new and come short of what we need to function in the real world although I realize the value of calming yourself into the "now" but after that you really need to get off your duff and do something productive in life.

I like Oprah. I have never understood when people can't stand her. I mean, no one is perfect, but she frequently gives to charities and she seems to really care about humanity. Why hate her? I don't watch her show very often, but when I do it is usually enjoyable. I DID read Ekhart Tolle's A New Earth. I loved it and actually want to read it again. I am an atheist, but a somewhat spiritual one.
