14. Because of my history with ISKCON, I know how to grapple with the cult

The Chris Butler people, who worship him, pretend that they are Hindu and pretend that their group was affiliated with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

The only thing that Chris Butler took from the Hare Krishnas was the doctrine of what it means to be a bona fide guru. He took the concept and applied it to himself and decreed that he himself was the path to God and was God. Worship of Chris Butler will lead to immortality.

Children who were raised in the cult never celebrated Hindu holidays, and they never read the Vedas or any Vedic doctrine.

The first thing they usually attack people with is an accusation of being anti-hindu. I tend to mop the floor with their ignorance, as they are not prepared to speak to someone who actually understands vaishnava beliefs.

Also, I'm a little combative.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
