What I had difficulty with is the discrepancy between being 'spiritually enlightened' and making a mockery of a whole ethnic group and their religion, as well as using overweight people as  prop for ridicule.  IMO, spiritually advanced people do not behave that way. Also the belief that we are responsible for everything that happens to us is harmful and also unproven. One final note: one of the posts of Sept. 29 referred to Carl Sagan as if he were still alive.  He is deceased and one wonders whether the search for intelligent life in the universe that he fostered might one day discover him!  The irony, of course, is that Sagan did not believe in an afterlife. So if this search does find him, it is possible he will just say, "Never mind."
