In the city today I was stopped by a group identifying themselves as Hare Krishna, they were going down George street with a drum, chanting something I could not hear well, nor understand.
But what happened was they approached me and one of them touched me. I felt quite offended because they had no right to lay a hand on me.
Why would they think I would appreciate their message?

They were big back in the seventies, Matt and seemed to be everywhere as I recall.
Now lets look at your last sentence very closely and reflect on some of the post you have placed here and consider the offence many of them have caused.

I expect to hear that you have joined them soon Matty-Boy. Yet another passing fad for you to throw yourself into. It is funny how you keep saying that, because the reality is that I went from being born in a Jewish family, to converting to Mormonism. I then realized it was a cult and became a Born Again Christian. I have not chopped and changed like you claim, I am still a born again Christian, have been since leaving Mormonism. So keep saying that crap.

The error was in disengaging from your Jewish roots. You're young Matt. Still wet behind the ears. You only have to read the vacuous inanities that you frequently post here to realise just how juvenile and inexperienced you are. You've a long way to go and I wouldn't be surprised if eventually you find your Jewish roots run a lot deeper than you think.

Earl Grey, Your claims that I chop and change religions are false.
I made 1 error during my late teens to join the Mormons, but thankfully have found my way to Jesus.
That isn't chopping and changing. You however have likely chopped and changed political ideology in your life more than anyone here!

The HKs in Melbourne had the best cheap meals in town.

Religious indoctrination will do that. The followers of Hillsong are worse..

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually you find your Jewish roots run a lot deeper than you think. There's a Hebrew term for people (in english 'returnics', but which escapes me atm) in JS position, in that they do eventually return, and in a Big Way. Jesus is well on his way in his Journey to Hasidim.

What would Jesus have done?

No. It corresponds to Hebrew parush, from parash "he separated." I can direct you to the etymology, if you wish to labour the point.

Alright. I'm through taking you seriously, Buzz.
You truly are an idiot, and you can't be steered from that coarse.
You've hit the idiot iceberg, and you are sinking fast.
Either that, or your brain saw it coming, and abandoned ship.

Then your book is a religious text, and you teach religion.

Off button? So you are saying that being an atheist, is much like checking your brain at the door? Okay. I'll allow that.

The HKs in Melbourne had the best cheap meals in town. At the Townsville CultureFest, the HKs had a food stall( may still have, but it's been years since I last went)...always made a beeline to them because the food was so good!...and cheaper than a $10 plate of rice with a dribble of sauce you get from the other stalls.

Why would they think I would appreciate their message? That's easy....you scream gullibility.
You got sucked in by the Mormon CULT.
You got sucked in by the Hillsong CULT.
You got sucked in by the Masonic CULT.
So why shouldn't the Hare Krishna CULT think they can also suck you in?

Then I am free to redefine my position to a 'Lack of belief' in the proposition that God doesn't exist. And since I moved the goal post to make my 'position' a 'non-position', I don't have to defend it any more than you have to defend your non-position about tooth fairies. Your move.
