I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church.

Although I'm not glad Warren will be involved in the inauguration, I do recognize that some good may come of it. It is a clear sign that Obama is not going to treat conservative Christians as second-class citizens.

4) Ask Joe the plumber how he was treated by Obama liberals and their reliance on the politics of personal destruction, before you talk about treatment of conservatives!
I happen to believe that this is an Obama ploy, and will be surprised if Obama has anything to do with Rick Warren after the inauguration. We shall see.
