Hi Corwyn...nice to me you too.( with all of your 22 posts since 2005 )
So because I am a christian, I am mentally unstable.
I have posted nothing to my knowledge that any true believer in the Bible and Jesus Christ would not at least, even if they have a difference of opinion..agree with much of my posts in that they are Scripturally correct and reflect the views of Millions of Evangelicals in the United States ( Who are obviously also unstable by your standards) If A= B...and B =C...then A also =C get it?
Bold in my faith..yes. Out spoken, maybe a little too much...yes. Controversial
by coming on a MA Site and seeking more knowledge...guilty as charged.
But mentally unstable ??? Sounds like more of a put-down than an accurrate diagnoises.What ? Im a preacher! I dont look for trouble, start fights or try to be evil.
No matter what secondary reason we have for the study of martial arts, at the base of the learning (if we become at all proficient at it) is the ability to cause great bodily harm to others. We are in effect giving someone an invisible loaded gun. If a man came into your school and said that they wanted to learn martial arts because they were part of the arian brotherhood and wanted to learn how to kill "blackies' with greater skill, would you teach them? If not why not and why accept, encourage and give direction to someone like JDK?
I already KNOW how to cause bodily harm. I strike like a jackhammer and know all the "knock out points" of the human anatomy and my grappling is decent.
Yet in 20 years I have only used my art to defend myself or my loved ones from bodily harm , maybe 5 times. AND only used sufficient force, not overkill. Could I have caused much more damage to certain ones who attempted to injure me or my family ? Absolutely.
But I have a moral obligation to treat life sacred..and do the least damage possible to those who are untrained in fighting arts.I think your responsibility is to take care of your own business.
The only difference between this scenario and JDK is that JDK uses more PC language towards the culture and philosophy he deems inferior to his and he at the present time shares his delusion with more people .
Yet the base of his belief - by his own admission as a fundi and the comments he made on this forum- shares the same delusion as the AB members! Depending on his fundi view on pre - mid or post tribulation he wants/needs/must go to war against those whom he's delusions based on a book transcribed from the stories of 2000 year old illiterate goatherds, tell him are demon worshiping inferiors.
While I am not aware of any writings specifically addressing the issue of mental stability it is possible to infer that the rigorous indoctrination of shaolin monks, for example, may very well have included the objective of weeding out the flaky or unstable mind. I am also not aware of any news stories ever of "racist man on a Martial Arts rampage Kills 5" but still -
What responsibility do you think you have as a member of a MA community to address this?
I am not going to waste my time debating you on brainwashing and Shaolin Monks etc...as compared with Evangelical Christianty.
Others have posted several threads agreeing that you CAN enter the spirit realm through certain QI-GONG practices. ( I noted on one of your 2 threads that you started you dont "believe in all that qi stuff" so I can overlook your ignorance in those matters.
If I have offended you in my threads...point out the offenses and we can talk.
Otherwise, watch who and why you decide to suddenly "come out of the wood work" and verbally attack...next time.
It is not safe.
