As much as I dislike Deepak Chopra, I see his attempt to cash in on a new age islamic movement as good in the same way that the Protestant split was good. Sure it was jsut trading one lie for another, but diversity of views within a religion makes it easier for secular people to live within the gaps.
Uhhm, let's NOT hope that happens. Despite how indescribably delicious the schadenfreude would unquestionably be, no one deserves to have their life threatened because of a work of fiction. NO ONE! Not even slimy, disingenuous, craven, fatuous, weasely, contemptible, woo-mongering, arrogant, phony, drivel-spewing, obscurantist, anti-science idiots like Deepak Chopra. NO ONE. EVER.

ReplyDelete"To live in denial is the worst thing you can do." Look in the mirror Deepak.

ReplyDeleteNot sure the people of Northern Ireland would agree that Protestant/Catholic split was a good thing. Chopra is brave ... but as always ... foolish.
ReplyDeleteDeepak said "To live in denial is the worst thing you can do"
ReplyDeleteThe interviewer referred to him as a 'non-believer'
I think my irony meter exploded.

ReplyDeleteI think he was on the phone the other day trying to sell me internet providings.

ReplyDeleteWe don't need another fictional biography of the prophet Muhammad. We've already got the Koran. What would be nice would be a nonfictional one.
ReplyDeleteProvoque of ideas I'm always for it.
ReplyDeleteOn first pass I read that as "Chopra Writes Frictional Biography"of the prophet...
