It looks crazy. If anyone else did the same things you would also say "That person looks crazy". In fact, you have dismissed other people's life work and labeled them "religious nuts" or "cults"
We are not using unreasonable or extraordinary standards to judge this work, you use the same standards to judge other people's work. Your dad was special in your eyes, he is not special to the rest of the world.
Do you really have trouble understanding this?

The difference is that Lessans used mathematical standards; what this Reich did was a figment of his narcisstic imagination. You can't compare him to this man AT ALL. You are not comparing apples to apples at all. You are comparing a rotton apple with worms to a fresh smelling and wonderfully edible apple. |
This quoted post of mine had nothing to do with Reich. I was talking about your dismissal of everything from Scientology to Koran apologetics (might I remind you that Muslims were scientifically and medically far advanced above the rest of world for most of their history, especially in what the Western world calls the Dark Ages?)
You keep saying Lessans was not comparable, that we are incorrectly categorizing him, but you have given us zero reason to believe or accept that. Do you really not understand how an objective third party can't see it the way you see it?
