one important part of any debate
When we watch a debate, it is not expected that one of the people will convince the other. Instead, each side will hopefully present their best arguments for their position. The audience can then judge and make up their minds based on the material presented by both sides.
Frankly, I cannot remember a thread here at EvC where I did not come away having learned at least one new thing. It is people like you, NosyNed, Sylas, Archer and so many others that have taught me so much.
While you may not change the position of the person you are debating, there is the much larger audience of readers who may find something you present suddenly makes clear that which had been hidden.

Re: One man's "truth"
He apparently has a number of names or titles: The Da Avatar, Adi Da Samraj, the Ruchira Buddha and Ruchira Avatar. They means things like "descended from the Divine", "Supreme Lord" and "the Radiant, Shining, Bright One". Interesting.
You must not forget "Bubba Free John".
