i personally believe that you, as Christians, make yourselves vulnerable to this fear (and hence, a ripe recruiting ground for the New Agers) by an indiscriminate dismissal of ALL that is useful and good in other religions,
I think you make a good point, here, Bmd. I have to say, this very point nags at me, because I do see some good in all religions. But..what about truth? Isn't truth necessarily polarizing?

Of course, I often think no one on this earth really has absolute truth...and yet so many believe that they do. So, I guess, it's not really truth that polarizes, but so many varying beliefs about truth...beliefs that are so vastly different. THAT is polarizing.
