I saw this interview and one and the funniest things was how amazed Harris seemed to be that if he and his crew left Tolle all alone on the set - Tolle would be "okay" with it. Obviously Tolle is a very "independent" individual and does not need to be surrounded by others like people who would believe in a higher being. Totally at peace with himself (raking in millions of dollars like a good scam artist should).

That was some real crappy reporting.

They, the stars, tell how he, Stolle, has changed their lives, not how HE, God, has changed their lives.  This false prophet will stand before God one day and be in judgement for leading people astray.  I just pray his heart is changed, because the hell he faces will be certain torment for his sins.

It's like having Christians rail against Christianity like these folks do...Fake Patriotism @ BornAgainAmerican

The person who can shut out or ignore [their conscience] will be at peace. 

That explains a lot about how liberals can do the things they do ... believe the things they believe ... govern the way they govern ...

Daily Sarah Palin fact:

Sarah Palin listens very carefully to her conscience.

"According to the Culture and Media Institute’s findings in the National Cultural Values Survey, 52 percent of Americans say they believe the Bible is God’s authoritative word.  Harris’ claim about those who oppose Eckhart doesn’t fully portray the clear majority of Americans who believe in the Bible, and not Eckhart."

It doesn't matter what 52% of Americans believe. The bible declares itself to be the authoritative word of God. It also states that those, like Oprah and Tolle, who believe that there is an alternative way to get to heaven without Jesus Christ, are going to burn in Hell. There are people who would "identify themselves" as "christian" like Oprah, who, in an effort to be "inclusive" will say that there is more than one way to heaven. The idiot so called Right Reverend of London said the same thing. However the bible is quite clear on these issues....

For instance....

John 14:6 

6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  

It doesn't matter what Americans believe, it doesn't matter what so called Christians "believe". The only thing that matters is that the bible declares such beliefs to be INCOMPATIBLE with Christianity. PERIOD. The Barna Group regularly does surveys of "Cafeteria Christians" and while their own "Theology" is suspect to say the least, their polls are quite informative. They regularly feature "data" from alleged Christians who say that they believe Muslims etc, can be saved without Christ and so on... But what these individually misled people believe is of little or no consequence. What matters is what the WORD says about it. And the Lord was quite clear about what happens to people who do not believe that He is the sole, only, last train runnin' to the pearly gates!

4I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be,[a] you will indeed die in your sins." 

“All religions at their core have basic truths.”

Yes.... but it does not follow that all religions at their core are true.  Why is it so difficult to understand that the major religions (aka, "belief systems") are mutually exclusive, and that they cannot, therefore, all be true?

And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall.   -- Edgar Allan Poe

Eckhart Tolle alias Ulrich Tolle is not a Christian. Tolle is purveyor of eastern mystic spiritual mumbojumbo.

From his book A New Earth, Awakening to your Life's Purpose: "...Heaven is not a location but refers to the inner realm of conciousness...Earth on the other hand, is the outer manifestation in form, which is always the reflection of the inner...A new heaven is the emergence of a transformed state of human conciousness and a new earth is a reflection in the physical realm."

At another point he says: "Recognize the ego for what it is, a collective dysfunction, the insanity of the human mind...Nobody is wrong, it is the ego in someone, that's all."

He teaches that we are god and collectively make up the god conciousness. Pure eastern claptrap. Just the kind of false prophet the Old Media likes to pass off as Christian.

Tolle argues that the reason why we have beliefs is so our ego can say to others "I am right and you are wrong." But that's inverted. He takes a by-product of belief and turns it into the product.

For some overly egotistical people (celebrities, perhaps?), it's possible that the reason they hold a belief is because it separates them from "ordinary" people. That's taking the effect of having a belief, instead of being concerned with what the belief is. Most of us simply hold our beliefs, without using it against others.

The urge to treat "everyone's beliefs are true" is plainly illogical. Contradictory statements can't all be true. This is simply an emotional unwillingness to admit that people have different views, and that some of them (including your own) might be wrong. So, instead of facing that reality, the "tolerant" believer simply declares that everyone is right, which spares him the effort required to seek the truth.
