his magic tricks are great. With a bit of decency would be devoted to presenting shows in place to take advantage of the naivety of people.When I was on holiday in India last year, I had the opportunity to talk a lot with one of the most impressive I've ever known. Actor, painter, sculptor and super cool father, my father. Young, among other activities, was a follower of Osho and has generally lived a pretty way of thinking (much) more open-minded than the average Indian fellow. In consequence, we will discuss in a future post.
In one of those days of holiday entertainment, eating lychees , we talk about Sathya Sai Baba , which really only knew because it was once mentioned in the blog Casu. I asked my father about it and simply described as "a good magician."
Sai Baba is considered divine by its approximately 6 million (6 million!) Fan. Works miracles and has inspired many people. Promotes a life based on the "Help ever, hurt never, love all, serve all." Sounds good, right?. One his most famous miracles is the "materialization." Out of nowhere, objects appear in their hands or go out of their mouth. I invite you, dear reader to think for a moment do you think this is really real?.
A known case is the embodiment of watches that Sai Baba then gave to his followers. Of course brand watches have serial number and was so someone found a Seiko watch materialized had been purchased from a dealer near the site of the miracle. The long-sleeved orange jumpsuit to be quite useful for these occasions.
Now, I think, what is the difference between a clock to appear Japanese / eggs removed Golden mouth, for example, to turn water into wine / walk on water / multiplied bread and fish?
Many people have been healed of diseases due to "power" of Sai Baba . But there are those who have been healed after receiving adequate medical care and who have been healed of anything, these things happen. The argument from miracles is not convincing. If you can believe in Jesus for his miracles and his philosophy based on love, why not believe in Sai Baba?
I recently got to find out that there is a group called Atheists for Jesus (say "atheists fans of Jesus"). The idea is that they do not believe in God, heaven, hell, the church, the miracles, but feel that the teachings of Jesus are worth. I personally know many people who believe something like this. Are they worth their teachings? Of course! The Sai Baba too.
For my part, I wish I could believe that (as of Atheists for Jesus) ... I can not. For more interesting and ahead of its time which may be the philosophy of Jesus described in the Gospels, the first thing that comes to my mind is that Jesus was a trickster. Equally con artist who Sai Baba.
Of course, I may have taken a terrible conclusion.
